Hebrews 5b Commentary The meat of Christianity is in the walk and not in the talk. Teaching brings us head knowledge; training brings us righteousness. The last section brings these thoughts to help us underline the word ‘training’. Christianity isn’t a light switch. You switch on and all is light, righteousness, and smiles. It isContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 5b Commentary”

Hebrews 5 Commentary
Hebrews 5 Commentary Not all titles of Jesus are inherent. Some titles come by appointment. You are a president by appointment and not by birth or character. Once you leave office, you are no longer “Mr. President”. Jesus is the ‘Son’ by appointment. “You are my Son; today I have become your father.” There isContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 5 Commentary”
Hebrews 4 Commentary
Hebrews 4 Commentary In the believer’s mind, Israel was one stubborn nation; they never obeyed God! We have evidence to back this unfortunate statement! But we should look at ourselves more. We have heard the voice of the LORD like Israel did. Have we obeyed? The scripture posts a strong warning. Don’t fall short ofContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 4 Commentary”
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
Hebrews 1 Commentary According to God, Abraham is a prophet. Gen. 20 verse 7. Moses is also a prophet. Deut. 34 verse 10. The Book of Acts refers to David as a prophet. Acts 2 verse 30. We could add more personalities to the body of known prophets through whom God spoke to humanity. VerseContinueContinue reading “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. Onesimus is yet another convert to Christianity through Paul’s ministry. Going by Paul’s description, verse 1, Philemon is a leader in the church that meets atContinueContinue reading “Philemon 1 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”
