John 4a Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com Many have said that Jesus was 100% God and 100% human – probably because they have read the gospel of John. We have two extreme ends. Jesus is the Word. The Word is with God at creation. The Word is actually the Creator God. It is this extreme end that putsContinueContinue reading “John 4a Commentary”

John 2 Commentary
John 2 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com We should not be fooled by the phrases, “next day” and “On the third day”. This gospel has little respect for chronological order.

John 1 Commentary
John 1 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com Yes, it is a poem about the glory of the scriptures – the Word. But there is far too much about this Word to confine it to the writings only.

Luke 24 Commentary
Luke 24 Commentary http://www.lovingacripture.com Jesus is dead; so what? Chapter 24 explains it. It just has to be the first day of the week; the first day of creation or new creation.

Luke 22a Commentary
Luke 22a Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com We have two mentions of Satan in this chapter. “Then Satan entered Judas,” and “Satan has asked to sift all of you”.

Luke 20 Commentary
Luke 20 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com We now have the chief priests and the elders in the opposite corner of the ring. This is Jerusalem. It has been a long trip to the seat of government, albeit a puppet government. Rome still exerts considerable control over the nation through the provincial governor. Pilate is the current governor.ContinueContinue reading “Luke 20 Commentary”
