All that God has said will happen has come to pass and all that is written in His Word will happen one day.  His word never fails. Sinners need to come to the Lord and only then they can change their ways and thoughts, through the His help, and because the Word of...

After His sacrificial work had ended, the Servant (Jesus) would look back on it with satisfaction, as would Yahweh (God the Father cf. 1 John 2:2). The "many" would obtain salvation through the knowledge of Him and His work. The "many" are those who trust in Christ...

The "promise" in Acts 2:39 is the gift of the Holy Spirit (1:5, 8; 2:33). Peter's reference to "your children" reveals the strong influence that Jewish fathers exercised in their homes. When a father becomes a Christian, his children would normally follow his lead...

In Isaiah 45:18-19 the Lord wants to settle in our mind that He created all and that He is the one and only God.  He wants Israel and us to know that He is trustworthy and all that He did was for our benefit.  He wants us to enjoy His creation.  He did not and does...

God has been silent about sin for a long time, but will in the future bring judgement on sinners, and He will lead His own people, those unable to find their way through the blinding storm of His judgment, to safety (cf. Rev. 12:14). The people of Israel were blind...

In this very familiar section of Scripture we see Jesus telling the disciples after they have fished all night to cast the net again and they catch so many fish they almost sink the boat.  They need to recognize without Him they can do nothing, as do we.  Then He...

On this first day of the week Mary goes to the tomb and seeing the stone has been moved decides that they have stolen the body of Jesus. She goes and gets Peter and John and they come running. When they arrive John glances in, Peter looks a little harder and is...

Here we see in John 19:28-37 the final prophecy being fulfilled as Jesus knows all else has been fulfilled, He says I thirst. He has completed everything else He was supposed to do and then He fulfills one last Scripture by saying He thirsts and they give Him the...

In John 19:7-15 the Jews have backed Pilate into a corner at this point. It is a matter of Jesus claiming to be King and there can be only one King in Rome. Pilate can either save his soul or his life. If He turns Jesus loose, he loses his life, if He crucifies...

In John 18:28-30 we see the Jews just assume that Pilate will kill this ”Man” Jesus that they want killed because of envy.  Pilate lets them know real quick that it isn’t going to be that simple, but asks what is He accused of? They come up with this general idea...

After Jesus finishes praying, He goes with His disciples to the garden. John leaves out the fact that Jesus prays again and sweats great drops of blood and His disciples sleep when they should have been praying also. John does this because he is focusing us on the...
