    Mocking.

    Jesus Christ King Of the Jews So wrote Pontius Pilate on a board to be placed above the head of Jesus on the cross. It was mocking the Lord. But like Caiaphas who spoke prophetically concerning Jesus "it is better for one man to die than for the whole nation to perish" so here Pilate writes...

    What does it all mean?

    Saint Matthew's gospel gives us the "sermon on the mount" which is a moral and spiritual fulcrum for Christians, but what does it all mean? Matthew 5:3-16 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth. 5 Blessed...

    Subordination.

    Saint Paul wrote: 20 But no, Christ has been raised from the dead, and he comes before all those who have fallen asleep. 21 A human being brought death; a human being also brings resurrection of the dead. 22 For, as in Adam all die, so, in Christ, all will be made alive. 23 However, each one in...

    Cross reference bible

    I have a number of bibles and some of them have cross references. Among my KJV collection is one from the Trinitarian Bible Society that is packed full of cross references. But I rarely use them. Sometimes they are helpful when they refer to a passage from the old testament that is either quoted...

    People are careful to preserve … themselves. If theology is part of personal identity then it is likely that it will be carefully preserved too. Acts 2:38 Peter answered: “Each of you must repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins may be forgiven. Then, you will...

    Blessed are you when they have slandered you.

    Matthew 5:11-12 11 Blessed are you when they have slandered you, and persecuted you, and spoken all kinds of evil against you, falsely, for my sake: 12 be glad and exult, for your reward in heaven is plentiful. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. It's not so easy to know...

    You made your bed now you must lie in it.

    Some Christians appear to think that the warnings about judgement and condemnation in the holy scriptures do not apply to them because they reckon that Jesus died for them and they are saved entirely by what Jesus did on the cross (and possibly in life and after the resurrection too). Well is...

    Shine Jesus Shine.

    There's a chorus - a sort of minihymn - where the lyric "shine Jesus shine" is repeated. Now that got me to thinking. Jesus said "I am the light of the world" Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the...

    The salt of the Earth.

    Christians are to be the salt of the Earth. Some say that means Christians are to act like salt for preservation of meat and fish for use in times of scarcity. But in what way can Christians preserve things for times of scarcity? And is preservation really the idea in what Jesus said? Matthew...

    The Memory of Power.

    In the world power is about leadership and dominance, or it has been so for many centuries even if that may be changing now. But Jesus, calling them, said to them: “You know that those who seem to be leaders among the Gentiles dominate them, and their leaders exercise authority over them. (Mark...

    Fasting and the Lord's Supper.

    The Holy Eucharist is the body and the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ it is also his soul and divinity so in receiving it/him one receives the Word of God made flesh (under the appearance of bread and wine) which our Lord taught is to receive Life. In Catholic practise one fasts before receiving...
