Hebrews 3 Commentary

Hebrews 3 Commentary Verse 1 introduces us to two offices of Jesus: Priesthood and apostleship. For Israel, no one is more ‘sent’ than Moses. We agree. Israel also credits Moses for the establishment of the priesthood. Again, we agree. But here is one greater than Moses! The Son is greater than Moses. For to usContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 3 Commentary”

Hebrews 2b Commentary

Hebrews 2b Commentary Hebrews is a book of impossible contrasts. Impossible because the human mind won’t adjust to accommodate “these things”. On one end is an ever taller Jesus – the exact representation of the Creator God. On the other end, the same Jesus becomes human. But he doesn’t become human like us! He isContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 2b Commentary”

Hebrews 2 Commentary

Hebrews 2 Commentary Jesus’ supremacy, how do we respond? Pay attention? No. More than that; pay “most careful attention”! Verse 1 has the word, ‘therefore’. It’s literature technology that begs action based on a stated fact. This book is full of this technology! It connects the required action to a statement of fact. Look atContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 2 Commentary”

Hebrews 1 Commentary

Philemon 1 Commentary

Philemon 1 Commentary Philemon is a convert to Christianity probably through Paul’s ministry. He is a wealthy man going by the fact that he owned slaves or a slave.

Titus 3 Commentary

Titus 3 Commentary The instruction “to be gentle toward everyone” can easily become a disadvantage. How else do you invite abuse? Isn’t meekness a recipe for failure? Aren’t individuals doing good work subtracting from their wealth? Isn’t a gentle person taken for a weak spirit whose life the strong easily toy with? Hasn’t the LORDContinueContinue reading “Titus 3 Commentary”

Titus 2 Commentary

Titus 2 Commentary Generosity is supposed to be everyone’s virtue, but we hear some individuals have it as a gift. While every Spirit-filled saint flows in the area, some individuals flood the household of faith with their generosity. We can apply the same thought here. Older men should overflow with temperance, wisdom, faith, and self-control.ContinueContinue reading “Titus 2 Commentary”

Titus 1 Commentary

Titus 1 Commentary Paul introduces himself as a slave of God. He also underlines his apostleship. It is a descriptive title. The LORD Jesus commissioned Paul to “further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth”. The term apostle means “the sent one” or messenger. The Christian walk draws its strength fromContinueContinue reading “Titus 1 Commentary”

2 Timothy 4 Commentary

2 Timothy 4 Commentary The second letter to Timothy is a detailed picture of the last days. Not only do we have wicked teachers, who teach falsely, but we also have students who itch for wrong teachings. The combination results in increased wickedness, reaching unimaginable levels! But never mind, Christ Jesus will judge the livingContinueContinue reading “2 Timothy 4 Commentary”

2 Timothy 3 Commentary

2 Timothy 3 Commentary Among the loveless all-round wicked are folks with a form of godliness – a sort of godliness but without power. This could refer to folks who speak mountains but deliver mole hills! They never walk the talk. They may even be perfect on intentions but that’s all there is. They lackContinueContinue reading “2 Timothy 3 Commentary”
