JOHN 3:1–21 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

LUKE 23:4–25 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man” (Luke 23:4).

LUKE 23:26–33 “For if men do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?” (Luke 23:31).

LUKE 23:34–43 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom” (Luke 23:42).

LUKE 22:54–65 The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter (Luke 22:61a). As Jesus was led away, Peter followed at a distance. He wanted to be near Jesus, but he was afraid to come too close.

LUKE 22:66–23:4 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?” He replied, “You are right in saying I am” (Luke 22:70). Under Jewish law, the Sanhedrin could not hold a trial at night. Thus, Jesus was kept in abusive custody until the Sanhedrin met to try Him the next day. The chief priests … Continue reading “JESUS’ CLAIM OF DIVINITY”

LUKE 22:21–38 Also a dispute arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest (Luke 22:24). One of the most painful things a manager must face is having those working for him vying for positions in the sun instead of acting like a team. Depressing as such behavior is, imagine how … Continue reading “WHO IS THE GREATEST?”

Judas betrayed Jesus, and Peter denied Him; but Peter repented and was saved, while Judas hung himself and was lost. How do we account for the difference?
