In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.    Who can speak of his descendants?    For his life was taken from the earth.”   [Acts 8:30-33]  He was led like a sheep to the slaughter I t was during this great spiritual awakening in Samaria tha...

Do you remember Elijah? He was a man like us, but he prayed earnestly that it should not rain. In fact, not a drop fell on the land for three and a half years. Then he prayed again; the heavens gave the rain, and the earth sprouted with vegetation as usual. What we need is an earnest prayer. In the old testament,  Hezekiah prayed earnestly with tears, the Lord healed him and gave him 15 more years to live.  The LORD says "because he loves me, I will res...

It is the Lord Christ you are serving.  Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism. "  [Colossians 3:23-25]  Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart W hatever is done should be done heartily (literally “from the soul”) as to the Lord and not to men. In every form of Christian service as well as in every sphere of life, ther...

[1 John 4:10]  CHRIST AS A SACRIFICE OF ATONEMENT G od presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished.  Romans 3:25. Our Advocate is Jesus Christ the righteous. It is good to have a righteous Defender. When Satan brings some accusation against a believer, the Lord Jesus can point to His finished work on Calvary and say, "Charge that to My account." The Lord Jesus is not only our Advocate, but He is also the propitiation of our sins...

Jesus Presented in the Temple  When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”  [ Luke 2:21-24]  "I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them..." A t least three different rituals are described in this passage: First there was the circumcision of Jesus. This took place when ...

Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, that is, He took control of her, guiding her speech and actions. One of the marks of a Spirit...

Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.   ”   [Matthew 1:18-19]  “ She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus ”   T he birth of Jesus Christ was different from any of the births mentioned in the genealogy.  There we found the repeated phrase “A begot B.” But now we have the record of a birth without a human father.

You have the words of eternal life.  We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.  ”   [John 6:67-69]  “ You are the Holy One of God ”   M any people began following Him, not because they thought He was the Son of God. They followed simply because they wanted to have their stomachs filled. Jesus wanted them to know that in order to follow Him it would require they give themselves completely to Him as the Son of God, not just someone who could give them food to eat. These sayings of the Lord Jesus proved so distasteful to many who had followed Him that they now left Him ...
