On the cross, Jesus paid for our sin and removed the barrier that stood between us and him. Because of his death, we can be at peace with God. Though we were guilty, the justice of God was fully met by Jesus, the Lamb of God who suffered for us. And the love of God was fully...
One easy example is the scene where Jesus calms a storm. It's clearly filmed during the day, and the acting here is poor. When Peter shouts for Jesus, he just says: "Help us. Help us Lord." with no emotion. There is also a scene where Peter sobs for denying Jesus, and he clearl...
Instead of being congratulated or patted on the back by Jesus, Peter was rebuked for his efforts. Jesus said, “but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures” (Matthew 26:56; Mark 14:49). I imagine Peter was confused about what was going on. Why wasn’t Jesus fighting back?
“Christ died for our sins. … He was buried. … He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures” Philippians 4:13 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. John 11:25 ...
24 The Son of Man is going to die as the Scriptures say he will. But how horrible it will be for that person who betrays the Son of Man. It would have been better for that person if he had never been born.” 25 Then Judas, who betrayed him, asked, “You don’t mean me, ...

(You don’t see the whole story!) Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:25-27) ...
-- Jesus dying for our sins as a sacrifice before God? Paul reminds us:"The foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength." (1 Corinthians 1:25)Do we want true wisdom? Wisdom that will stand the test of time and eternity?
one day, I must confess my ignorance at the number of prophecies that were fulfilled. While there are many who argue from the side that we have no prophecies of Judas in the OT, allow me to argue there are enough scriptures from the OT and Jesus’ words in the NT, indicating otherwise...
1 Peter 1:16 says, “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must be holy because I am holy,’” and I appreciate that many Christians use that verse as reminder of the ways they are to conduct their lives. But too often they consider holiness only in terms of what it can do for them, such...
