Reading: Hebrews 3 – 4:13 “Therefore, holy brothers… consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession….” (3:1) Moving on from Jesus’ supremacy over angels, the writer of Hebrews now makes the point that Jesus is also greater than Moses…. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses…. Now Moses was…
Reading: Hebrews 2.5-18 Christ had to partake of our humanity (2.14), to be born as a man, in order to go through sanctification through suffering (2.10-11)—and ultimately to die, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, the devil (2.13). “… For his sake I have suffered the…
Reading: Hebrews 2.1-4 “… How shall we escape (i.e., retribution) if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed…
Reading: Hebrews 1-2 “… The son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.” – Luke 3.38 Adam failed. Big time. He sinned, he fell out with God, his spirit died, and all his descendants were born carrying his nature—dead in the spirit (Romans 5.12-15), children of wrath (Ephesians…
Reading: Hebrews 1-2 I have heard of other faiths maintain that Jesus was an angel, a created being later elevated to God (some even go as far as saying He’s only a prophet or a great teacher). Reading the first chapter of the epistle to the Hebrews somewhat make it looks like it’s the case,…
Reading: Hebrews 1 (vv.2, 3, 10) We think of Jesus as the baby born in the manger, the miracle healer, the one condemned to death and was crucified. But he was more than that. Y’shua Messiah is also the Creator! “… 2But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom…
This is my 143rd post, and I hope this concludes my personal study of the gospel of Matthew. I started this blog for myself, and if you have been blessed by it as well–praise be to God! Just in case we all got overwhelmed with my previous post (I did), I made a more concise…
Reading: Matthew 28:16-20 “Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have…
Now after the Sabbath, towards the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was…
Reading: Matthew 27:45-54 “And behold,the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom….” (v.51) “Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.” – Hebrews 4.14 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were…
