JOHN 12:12–19 The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.

Hosanna … Continue reading “JESUS’ TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM”

GALATIANS 3:1–14 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree” (Galatians 3:13).

LUKE 24:1–12 “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!” (Luke 24:5–6). When we consider the exaltation of Jesus, our mind usually jumps immediately to the Resurrection, but actually the exaltation of Jesus begins earlier. According to Isaiah 53:9, after Jesus’ death, He was assigned a … Continue reading “THE EXALTATION OF JESUS CHRIST”

MATTHEW 4:1–11 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil (Matthew 4:1).

There are few moments in the life … Continue reading “THE TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS CHRIST”

MATTHEW 1:18–24 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18). Because the role of Christ has been given increasing prominence in Romans, for the next … Continue reading “THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST”

LUKE 2 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men (Luke 2:52).

In the early days of the church, this lack of information was filled in … Continue reading “THE HIDDEN YEARS OF JESUS”

MATTHEW 3:13–17 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” (Matthew 3:13–14).

ROMANS 5:6–11 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ … Continue reading “CHRIST DIED FOR UNGODLY SINNERS”
