In Genesis chapters 1 and 2 is the creation narrative. However, when we look at chapter 1, there is a distinct difference to how God refers to Himself, than in chapter 2. Why is this the case? Why does God refer to Himself by a different “name” in Genesis 2?
In the gospels we read where mothers were bringing their children to Jesus to bless them; but the disciples did not permit it. Jesus became angry and publicly rebuked His disciples. Why did He do this?
In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), we read of the encounter of Jesus and the rich young ruler. He calls Jesus “good master” and asked what could he do to gain eternal life. Jesus questioned him about calling Him “good” and told him that only God is “good”. What did He mean by “there is none good”?
It’s been often said that when we rise again we will have wings like the angels. There’s even an old gospel melody that states, “I’ll fly away!” But is this true? Will we someday have wings like the angels?
In the gospel of John, it reads that when the Jewish leaders wanted to expedite the deaths of Jesus and the thieves in their crucifixions, they requested of Pilate to break their legs. Both the two thieves legs were broken. However, when the Roman soldier came to break Jesus’ legs, He was already dead. So, His bones were not broken. What is the significance of this?
Matthew 13:54-56 recorded when Jesus briefly returned home to Nazareth. While He was there, He entered the synagogue and taught the people. Those who listening were astounded at His understanding and teaching of the Scriptures and powers to do miracles. They knew of His family and upbringing. But they did not know from whom He got His knowledge and understanding of Scripture. So, where did Jesus get His knowledge of Scripture from? Who taught Jesus?
