     | 9,116 views

    “I am the resurrection and the life. ... everyone who lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25). Martha believed it ... and I hope and pray that when the New Jerusalem is ready and Jesus commands all who believe in Him to awaken from their sleep that you are there too, amen?

    Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem … to die … when He received word that His friend, Lazarus, was sick. Jesus’ reaction was strange. He didn’t rush off to Bethany to heal His friend. “This illness does not lead to death,” says Jesus, “rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be ...read more

    "Jesus, The Replacement For The Temple”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 3, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,491 views

    John places this historical moment in the life of Jesus not during Holy Week, as in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Why? Jesus is proclaiming that He is God’s touchstone on earth, no longer the stone altar of sacrifice. Jesus is replacing the “holy of holies”. He is replacing the Jerusalem temple.

    In Jesus Holy Name Lent III March 7, 2021 Text: John 2:19-20 Redeemer “Jesus, The Replacement for the Temple” Sometimes we need to read the words of the Bible more closely than we do. I noticed something new as I was ...read more

    Cost Of Freedom 1 Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 1,317 views

    Cost of any freedom has never been cheap. For our freedom, Christ died and shed His blood as a ransom for our sins. If the cost was not paid by His blood, we would only be redeemed temporarily and would continue to live as slaves like the folks of the OT.

    Opening illustration: With the dismantling of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the subsequent lifting of the iron curtain, Eastern Europeans jubilantly celebrated the freedom they had long been denied. However, some of the first “freedoms” to be exercised in these formerly communist countries were ...read more
