The miracle of turning water into wine, found in John 2:1-11, is the first recorded miracle of Jesus' public ministry. It occurred while Jesus and his disciples were attending the wedding in Cana on the third day of the celebration. Apparently, Jesus’ mother, Mary, had a close [...]
Jesus answers this very question. Mark 4:10-12, “When Jesus was alone, some of those who had heard him came to him with the twelve disciples and asked him to explain the parables. ‘You have been given the secret of the Kingdom of God,’ Jesus [...]
Although there do exist Ethiopian Jews, Jesus' Semitic ancestry is traced in detail in the Bible all the way back to Abraham. His mother, Mary, and step-father, Joseph, were required to return to Bethlehem in Judea, their place of origin, to register for the [...]
Before the death of Lazarus, Jesus had already raised others from the dead: "Jesus went to a town called Nain.......where a dead person was being carried out........He said, 'Young man, I say to you, get up!' The dead man sat up and began to [...]
The Messiah was to be of the tribe of Judah and of the lineage of David. Both Mary and Joseph were descendants of Judah from King David’s line. Genesis 49:10, 2 Samuel 7:16, Matthew 1:1, Luke 3:31Joseph was tenderhearted and kind.When he heard that [...]
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 [...]
The account of the three wise men is found in Matthew 2:1-12 in a scene related to the birth of Jesus. “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to [...]
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 [...]
The short answer to this question is "yes". God did send his son to die- Galatians 4: 4-5, “But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those [...]
Jesus never referred to himself as “Jehovah.” Various translators appear to support that thought; however, we believe that Jesus was the first direct creation of Jehovah, the only begotten son who took human form to ransom the world from sin and death. The translation [...]
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 [...]
