Revelation 1 Commentary
Revelation 1 Commentary The Book of Revelation is a letter containing Jesus Christ’s revelation to God’s servants. This revelation contains seven letters to seven named churches in modern-day Turkey: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. The number seven is symbolic. We shall see countless symbols in this book. Therefore, the letters to these churches merely provide real-time context toContinueContinue reading “Revelation 1 Commentary”
Jude 1 Commentary
Jude Commentary Jude should be a blood brother of the man Jesus, together with James! Those who believe that Jesus was 100% human can ask Jude about it! But Jude is a slave of Jesus Christ. Verse 1. To Jude, Jesus is no longer a big brother he shared meals and sleeping space with; HeContinueContinue reading “Jude 1 Commentary”
3 John Commentary
3 John Commentary Diotrephes doesn’t have the tag of the Anti-Christ but he is clearly behaving badly. Could he fall in the category of “sin which doesn’t lead to death”? Gaius would be the opposite of Diotrephes. He welcomes the believers and helps them. There is a good testimony about him. This makes the greatContinueContinue reading “3 John Commentary”
2 John Commentary
2 John Commentary Seeking to simplify communication, some Bible translations have omitted the word “chosen” or “elect” from verse 1. In this way, the church or a local church becomes a loose grouping of believers without great significance. That’s how we have sacrificed of the importance of the church as viewed from Heaven. The churchContinueContinue reading “2 John Commentary”
1 John 5 Commentary
1 John 5 Commentary His commands are not burdensome. Verse 3. The world is invited to test this claim. His yoke is easy. It’s a happy ride! Contrary to the common deception, Jesus isn’t a “joy-killer”. Look at His servants. It’s all serenity – a foretaste of pure heavenly serenity. Everyone born of God overcomesContinueContinue reading “1 John 5 Commentary”
1 John 4 Commentary
1 John 4 Commentary John’s first volume makes Paul’s extravagance on love like nothing! Chapter 13 of First Corinthians is all about love, but it is dwarfed by John’s first letter. Paul: And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13 Peter: Love covers overContinueContinue reading “1 John 4 Commentary”
1 John 3b Commentary
1 John 3b Commentary Love is practical. Jesus died for us – love in high definition! How do we die for one another? Share your possessions with the needy brother or sister. For many of us, this means what it means, death. Your car can only change hands when you are in your coffin! JohnContinueContinue reading “1 John 3b Commentary”
1 John 3 Commentary
1 John 3 Commentary Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. Verse 1. 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 is fullContinueContinue reading “1 John 3 Commentary”
1 John 2 Commentary
1 John 2 Commentary Saints shouldn’t sin, for starters. But if they sin, they have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ. Sin isn’t cheap. There is a legal process behind each repentance. The saint who sins is guilty; no question about this fact. Forgiveness is only possible because of the legal representations madeContinueContinue reading “1 John 2 Commentary”
