Luke 9:62 is Jesus’ definitive statement on the total commitment required for discipleship. He uses the metaphor of a farmer plowing a field to illustrate that anyone who begins to follow Him must not look back at their old life, attachments, or worldly priorities. A divided focus makes one unfit for the vital work of […]
The phrase ‘Follow me as I follow Christ’ is a direct quote from the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:1. It means that believers should imitate his example and teachings, but only to the extent that he himself is imitating Jesus Christ. The ultimate standard for every Christian is Christ alone, and human leaders are […]
According to Christian scripture, God is the divine and true father of Jesus Christ, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). Joseph was Jesus’ earthly, adoptive father—a righteous man chosen by God to protect, name, and raise Him on Earth as his own son (Matthew 1:18-21). From His miraculous conception to His glorious […]
Absalom’s Monument, as described in 2 Samuel 18:18, was a pillar Absalom erected for himself in the King’s Valley because he had no son to preserve his name. This act was rooted in pride and rebellion against his father, King David, and serves as a biblical warning against self-glorification. The tomb in Jerusalem today known […]
The title ‘Son of David’ refers to Jesus Christ, identifying Him as the promised Messiah and rightful heir to the eternal throne of King David. This title is crucial as it confirms Jesus’s royal lineage and His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about a king who would establish an everlasting kingdom (2 Samuel 7:12-16). Jesus […]
The Easter story in the Bible is the historical account of the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as documented in the New Testament. Primarily found in the Gospels of Matthew (chapters 26-28), Mark (chapters 14-16), Luke (chapters 22-24), and John (chapters 18-20), it affirms Jesus’ victory over sin and death, which is the […]
The Bible indicates that Jesus’ age at death was approximately 33 years old. This is traditionally calculated from Luke 3:23, which states He was ‘about thirty years of age’ when He began His ministry, combined with the Gospel of John’s account of a ministry that spanned roughly three years. The life of Jesus Christ is […]
Willem Dafoe is an actor who portrayed Jesus in the highly controversial 1988 film, ‘The Last Temptation of Christ.’ The movie is based on a fictional novel, not the Gospels, and presents a version of Jesus that directly contradicts the Biblical account of His sinless, divine nature and His triumphant victory over all temptation. Many […]
The term ‘zombie Jesus’ is a modern, secular mischaracterization of Christ’s resurrection. The Bible teaches that Jesus did not return as an undead ‘zombie’; He was resurrected in a glorified, perfected body, victorious over death (1 Corinthians 15). This resurrection is the foundation of Christian faith, signifying new life and redemption, not a return to […]
Saying ‘good morning Jesus’ is an intentional act of starting your day by focusing your heart and mind on the Lord. It can be a simple, spoken prayer of thanks, a moment of reading scripture like Psalm 143:8, or listening to a worship song to set a reverent and peaceful tone for the day ahead. […]
