Ephesians 6 Commentary We have instructions for different interactions and relationships in the first section: Children versus parents; parents versus children; employees versus employers and vice-versa. It’s the weak versus the strong, and vice versa. It’s the have-nots versus the ‘haves’. Ponder. Verse 4 underlines two parental functions: Training and teaching. The two are different.ContinueContinue reading “Ephesians 6 Commentary”

Ephesians 5 Commentary
Ephesians 5 Commentary Follow God’s example. Yes but how? Is it even possible? Verse 1 is an impossible instruction! We need to check further. Verse 2 provides the clue. We must look at Jesus. He is our model. Verse 3 brings it home. Record zero readings in the following: sexual immorality, impurity, greediness, obscenity, foolishContinueContinue reading “Ephesians 5 Commentary”
Ephesians 4 Commentary
Ephesians 4 Commentary Focus on verse 8. The quoted scripture is a celebration of triumph for Israel – a triumph for the LORD. The LORD went up Mount Zion and took captives. These captives brought gifts. They paid tribute. This was the LORD’s promise to Abraham. The verse in Palm 68 verse 18 seems toContinueContinue reading “Ephesians 4 Commentary”
Ephesians 3 Commentary
Ephesians 3 Commentary Verse 1 may suggest that Paul is suffering one of his many imprisonments. Or, it could refer to his mindset as a perpetual prisoner – a hunted man. Or, as a slave of Christ Jesus, he is fully given to hardships for the sake of the gospel among the Gentiles. It’s hisContinueContinue reading “Ephesians 3 Commentary”
Galatians 6 Commentary
Galatians 6 Commentary We can identify three components: you, the Spirit, and the Flesh. Both the Spirit and the Flesh place demands on you. You simply decide which one to live by. You are a child of God if you choose to live by the Spirit of God. You reap destruction if you live byContinueContinue reading “Galatians 6 Commentary”
Galatians 5 Commentary
Galatians 5 Commentary Paul has written quite extensively on the subject of the Spirit. This term must be used even more frequently than the term Jesus! Jesus was a physical man who interacted with physical people for a short period. But He still interacts with people through His Spirit – the Holy Spirit. It allContinueContinue reading “Galatians 5 Commentary”
Galatians 4 Commentary
Galatians 4 Commentary The first section explains Jesus’ strange instruction to his disciples. “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.” Matthew 10 verses 5 and 6. Or His strange response to a Canaanite woman. “I was sent only to the lost sheepContinueContinue reading “Galatians 4 Commentary”
Galatians 3 Commentary
Galatians 3 Commentary You foolish Galatians! Vintage Paul! Unparalleled! Same old Paul! But there is an important message, critical to their Christian walk. The key word is faith. We could also underline the words, ‘Spirit’ and ‘Law’. Under the old arrangement, God gave the Law. Under the new arrangement, God has given the Spirit. Don’tContinueContinue reading “Galatians 3 Commentary”
Galatians 2 Commentary
Galatians 2 Commentary The Book of Acts gives us a picture of the confusion that Judaizers caused in the church. We have a version of the same confusion here.We also meet another Paul, a man with whom you won’t avoid a quarrel. Ask Barnabas. Yes, the same good, peaceful, and calm Barnabas. Unfortunately, we don’tContinueContinue reading “Galatians 2 Commentary”
Galatians 1 Commentary
Galatians 1 Commentary Do all need a dramatic encounter with our LORD Jesus Christ to preach? Is the gospel less credible when the massager has a less dramatic conversion himself? Or when I hear the gospel from a human, is the truth of the gospel not as valuable? What is Paul doing, displaying his profile?ContinueContinue reading “Galatians 1 Commentary”
