    When Jesus Is The Adversary

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 19, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,495 views

    A look at a challenging passage that indicates that when we refuse Jesus as Savior He will become our Adversary at judgment.

    - These verses seem out of place. Why would Jesus end what He was saying here with talk about going to court? It doesn’t really seem to have much to do with the points He’s just made. - When that happens (and it happens at multiple places in the gospels), the temptation is to either presume that ...read more

It’s a peculiar request when you think about it. Why exactly would anyone want to watch a mulberry tree come ...read more
