HEBREWS. 7:20–28 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners (Heb. 7:26). Another common question regarding the person and work of Christ is “Why did He have to be sinless?” Some people have argued that Jesus must have been a sinner because He was birthed by … Continue reading “THE SPOTLESS LAMB”

JOHN 1:6–9 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe (John 1:7). Some people in the early church believed that the baptism of John was superior to Jesus’ baptism. The apostle corrects this error by stressing that John the Baptist was a man who testified … Continue reading “JOHN’S TESTIMONY”

JOHN 1:10–13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12). When Christ entered into His public ministry, the world did not acknowledge Him. Even though Christ was God, Creator of all things, and even though all creatures should have recognized Him and worshiped Him, … Continue reading “CHILDREN OF GOD”

JOHN 1:1–3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). John begins his gospel with a proclamation of Christ’s divinity by using the highly abstract term Word or Logos. In Greek philosophy, logos meant logic or reason. Philosophers such as Philo used the word … Continue reading “THE ETERNAL WORD”

JOHN 1:4–5 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men (John 1:4). Once again, John uses three abstract terms to describe Christ and our relation to Him: life, light, and darkness. What was John’s intention in using these terms? Does life, for instance, merely describe our existence in Christ? From the … Continue reading “THE LIGHT OF MEN”

Today we embark on an exciting study of the book of John. Basing our studies on William Hendriksen’s commentary, we will explore the many … Continue reading “AN AMAZING BOOK”

JOHN 1:29–34 And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God (John 1:34). The gospel of John may have been written around A. D. 90 near the end of John’s life. From the varied explanations given on Jewish customs in the book, we can assume that the writer was a Jew … Continue reading “THE SON OF GOD”

EPHESIANS 4:7–16 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints (Eph. 4:11–12). As we have done for the past few years, we will base our studies on the teaching of an eminent Reformed pastor or teacher. This year’s “resident scholar” … Continue reading “OUR “RESIDENT SCHOLAR””

2 CORINTHIANS 10:1–3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh (2 Cor. 10:3). The drastic change in tone from chapter 9 to chapter 10, a tone which continues through chapter 13, has created much debate. Paul moves from a tone that is mild and pastoral to one … Continue reading “ANSWERING THE CRITICS”

2 CORINTHIANS 10:7–11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such we will also be in deed when we are present (2 Cor. 10:11). This passage fills in the portrait we have of Paul as an apostle endowed with the authority and power to … Continue reading “APOSTOLIC AUTHORITY”
