We’re all familiar with the account of the Pharisee Nicodemus coming to Jesus at night. Jesus called him the teacher of Israel (John 3:10); as such he was an important, highly regarded man. It’s why he came at night. His intense curiosity about Jesus got the best of him, but he couldn’t risk anyone seeing…

1 Kings 13:34 – Fruit of Bad Counsel
Counsel may come from men and be good or bad and have its consequences; when counsel comes from God and is ignored the outcome is disastrous. When Rehoboam became king in place of his father Solomon, he immediately had a choice to make as to how he would rule. The people of Israel came to…
1 Kings 10:5 – No Breath in Her
Imagine yourself a monarch – a king or queen – in the time of Solomon. The queen of Sheba was such a ruler. Because of Solomon’s fame, this queen heard about him from the distant land in which she lived. Sheba is considered to be the modern day country of Yemen, to the far south…
Luke 20:36 – Equal to Angels
The scribes and chief priests, the Pharisees and the Sadducees, all came to Jesus with their own agendas hoping to catch Him as a false prophet and thus denounce Him. At one point, the Sadducees tried to trip Him up with questions about the afterlife. As opposed to the Pharisees, they didn’t believe in the…
Luke 18:7 – Crying for Justice
To anyone whose head isn’t buried in the sand, the world is growing darker. There are those who take the unbiblical view that God will halt this progression into greater wickedness and bring an amazing revival. However, all one must do is read his Bible to see that in these latter days, no such event…
Matthew 26:8 – They Were Indignant
On first reading, in suggesting the connection I propose in this commentary, you may say, “What?” But, hear me out. What if the original fall of the sons of God (bene Elohim) foreshadowed the indignation of the disciples when the woman anointed Jesus with oil and the subsequent action by Judas? The first rebel was…
Matthew 25:40 – As You Did
We know that from the time of Jesus, the only way to eternal life is through Him (John 3:16). Believers who have died and risen, and those alive and translated in the Rapture, will all be justified by grace through Jesus for their works in Christ at His mercy seat (Hebrews 9:5; Romans 3:24-25). Their…
Matthew 22:1-14 – Parable of the Wedding Feast
As was usually the case, when Jesus spoke to the crowds, the religious rulers were right there, listening, critically examining, and scheming how to use His Words against Him. The Pharisees and chief priests may not have understood all that Jesus implied in His parables, but they did get the point that He was often…
Matthew 19:28 – Ruling & Judging
A time is coming when Jesus will sit on His throne in Jerusalem. The nations of the earth will no longer go their own way to follow any god but Him; the peoples throughout the world will bow down and worship the King of kings. Jesus will rule and reign, and He will bring peace. …
Genesis 12:2-3 – God’s Promise to Israel
The prophetic Word that God gives Abram in Genesis 12:2-3 is one of the most significant in the entire Bible: “And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him…
