The disciples did not recognize Jesus after his resurrection because Jesus appeared in the form of different people.  For example, Mary Magdalene mistook him for a gardener (John 20:11-18), he appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus as a fellow traveler (Luke [...]

Scriptures are taken from the New American Standard Bible. On His way to Calvary, exhausted and already bleeding from many wounds, Jesus must have drawn pity from any in the crowds who had tender hearts.  Women customarily followed those doomed to crucifixion on their [...]

John 19:41, 42, “Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid…they laid Jesus there.” Today this tomb is called the Garden Tomb and it can [...]

Reading the accounts together in Matthew 27:45-51, Mark 15:33-39, Luke 23:46-49 and John 19:25-30, this world-changing event is one of the most dramatic we will ever hear or read. The first question this scene raises is, why did God send an earthquake? In the Scriptures, [...]

 “And lo! the veil of the temple was rent in two parts, from the highest to the lowest”, Matthew 27:51. The curtain or veil separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place (Exodus 26:31-33) and its tearing represented the end of the Temple [...]

Jesus died as a human and his body was put in a tomb by Joseph of Arimathea (Matthew 27:57-60). Jesus prepared his apostles for the fact that he would die and no longer be physically with them. Matthew 16:21 “…He explained to his disciples that [...]

A perfect man, Jesus, took the place of the perfect man, Adam. "For as in Adam, all die, so in Christ, shall all be made alive." 1 Corinthians 15:22.  The principle you're asking about is right in that verse. We all die, because we inherited [...]

The name “Omega” appears only in the book of Revelation and is always linked to “Alpha”:  “I am Alpha [even I] and Omega the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”  Revelation [...]

It helps to have some history of the book of Galatians. Some Jews had accepted Jesus as their Messiah, but were not willing to accept that the Law given by God had been replaced. They insisted that it was necessary for salvation that Christians [...]

Jesus lived 33 1/2 years. We know this, as he began his ministry about 30 years of age (Luke 3:23). The length of his ministry was 3 1/2 years, which can be shown from the prophecy in Daniel. In Daniel 9, God tells Daniel [...]

I believe Jesus answers this best Himself in the following incident: Matthew 11:2-5, “Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we [...]

Upon examining ten different Bible translations, the only one we found that used the word "races" was the Today's English Version (TEV).  Most Bibles simply use the word "both," while the New Revised Standard Version uses "both groups." It reads, "and might reconcile both [...]

In Matthew 16:15-18, Jesus says, “…Whom do ye say that I am? and Simon Peter answered and said, thou art the Christ, the son of the living God. And Jesus answered…I say unto thee, thou art Peter (Greek petros, meaning a piece of rock [...]

It is not always easy to understand exactly what the Scriptures mean.  A possible explanation to John 20:17 may be as follows.  In previous discussions with his disciples, Jesus said: “In My father’s house are many dwelling places: if it were not so, I [...]

One prophesy of the Old Testament is that our Savior would be from the “House of David” as we see in Isaiah 9:6-7 “For unto us a child is born… The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace…upon the throne of David” [...]
