Thirty-eight years is a long time to deal with one disease. But that’s exactly what this individual had been doing. He and countless others would gather themselves together beside the pool of Bethesda waiting for a miracle. At this place, an angel would supposedly trouble the waters, causing a ripple. We do not know whoContinue reading “Seven Signs in John: 3 – The Man of Bethesda”

Seven Miracles in John: 2- The Nobleman’s Son
Jesus just had a wonderful ministry in Samaria and other places outside of his hometown. Nicodemus, women at the well. Now he is returning home. Jesus knows the people’s hearts. They will welcome him, but not with honor, not in the right way, but with improper motives. This is the scenario that leads up toContinue reading “Seven Miracles in John: 2- The Nobleman’s Son”
Seven Miracles in John: 1 – Water into Wine
John, the beloved disciple, shared his purpose for writing his Gospel account. He wrote, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” (John 20:31). His presentation of the life of Christ is focused on showing theContinue reading “Seven Miracles in John: 1 – Water into Wine”
Is Your Faith Growing Cold?
We are quickly entering into spring revival season. I am still a supporter of church revivals. There is nothing wrong with a congregation seeking to set out more time in their schedule for increased spiritual emphasis. We all need revival at times. Life has a way of wearing us down. It is easy to allow our faithContinue reading “Is Your Faith Growing Cold?”
The beauty of praise
The scene is set in Heaven right now. It establishes a precedent for the promise of the new Heaven to come. The example we find teaches us valuable praise. I am referring to the fourth and fifth chapter of The Revelation of Jesus Christ that was given to John on the Isle of Patmos. TheseContinue reading “The beauty of praise”
SOM: Blessed are they which are persecuted
“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophetsContinue reading “SOM: Blessed are they which are persecuted”
SOM: Blessed are the Peacemakers
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” – Matthew 5:9 It is estimated that there has been a little over 260 years of peace in all of recorded history. While there are many causes for conflict, we still desire to have peaceful resolutions. Now, we find Jesus referring toContinue reading “SOM: Blessed are the Peacemakers”
SOM: Blessed are the Pure in Heart
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” – Matthew 5:8 If one thing is clear in the Sermon on the Mount, it is that the Lord is concerned with more than outward cleanliness and show. He has emphasized the spiritual life of His people in comparable ways to the physical. Poor,Continue reading “SOM: Blessed are the Pure in Heart”
SOM: Blessed are the Merciful
“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” Matthew 5:7 The first four beatitudes look towards God, the next four toward people. These discuss virtues which mark the godly as blessed in their interactions with others. We all come across those with a heightened sense of spiritual connection to God but behave poorly towardsContinue reading “SOM: Blessed are the Merciful”
SOM: Blessed Are They Which Do Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness.
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6 This is the last beatitude that focuses on our relationship with God. The remainder will focus on our relationship with other people around us. With that in mind, we find words in this verse that are commonly usedContinue reading “SOM: Blessed Are They Which Do Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness.”
