Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.John 2:2 ESVhttps://bible.com/bible/59/jhn.2.2.ESV I’m kind of curious at this point how many disciples he has? So the very beginning of his career and I don’t think he’s gathered the core 12 but he does have a following. Maybe 5 maybe 20 extra people. Not sure about […]

Fascinating video. The Bible Project always says great stuff. I did not realize that there was a debate over which John wrote the book. Though sadly growing up I didn’t realize there was even more than one John. Every other story book every character has a distinct name so as not to confuse anyone. Yet […]

I love this, because it shows another little insight into what the afterlife will be like in our new bodies. Well it’s unclear if we will need to eat (is hunger part of the fall?), It is clear that we will be physically resurrected and that heaven is a physical place. We won’t be floating […]

It’s a scary thought for Peter that Jesus had said If you deny me I will deny you (Matt1033). Yet it does not end here, this is just the turning point for Peter I think. Sure he doesn’t go full zealot until later. But this is a crucial moment in his life, he’s picked to […]

V.31-34 he talks to Simon Peter like a child here. Peter’s not ready yet to go to prison in to death, in Jesus can see that but he has to tell him something give him the courage to do it later. It’s apparent you can see that in a child you tell them this is […]

So next things going on on this passage. V.2 they wanted to kill Jesus, but feared the people. They are leaders with no power or authority. Like modern time politicians, they change their tune every time the masses want x, y or z. The sadly our politicians are supposed to represent the people, but they […]

Again it’s the last couple of verses in this passage that speak to me. Here he is preaching death and destruction and yet (v 38) “early in the morning all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.” The people didn’t shy away when he started preaching scary stuff. Sometimes we need […]

It’s funny that the things he lists as signs of the end times most of America does not experience. Yet it’s always the Americans for claiming Jesus’s returns just around the corner. Don’t misunderstand me, it is just around the corner, but I don’t think it’s going to happen this year next year. But it […]

V.34-38 – Jesus didn’t answer the Sadducees defensively or trying to convince them and make them believe me. He uses their own beliefs as an example, showing that they already believe just didn’t know it. How many of us, myself included would have I said, “you don’t understand, you must convert”. Going straight to the […]
