  • Luke 2.14 | Peace toward men of good will (1)

    Luke 2.14 | Peace toward men of good will (1)
    Sep 13 2025
    The coming of the Messiah is a major theme of the OT. It is constantly repeated throughout the pages of the OT. In the NT, we are told that it is the angels who have the privilege to announce the imminent coming of Christ. We read in the gospel of Luke, in the nativity account, the incident in which an angel makes this surprising revelation: …I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2.10-11).

    Sep 12 2025
    You will remember that in our last lesson, we were talking about the message of the angels found in Luke 2:14. The angels gave glory to God and they said in that verse, On earth peace among men with whom He is pleased. Peace toward men of good will.

  • Luke 2.49 | I must be about my Father's business

    Luke 2.49 | I must be about my Father's business
    Sep 11 2025
    The first recorded words of our Lord Jesus are found in Luke 2.49. This is what we read.
    Luke 2.49. And He (Jesus)said to them (to his parents),"Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"
    We know the context of these words. This incident happened when Jesus was about twelve years old. Mary and Joseph brought him to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. After the feast, on their way back home, Mary and Joseph discovered that Jesus was not with the caravan. They had assumed that he was among the other travelers. They decided to return to Jerusalem to search for him. To their great relief, they found him in the Temple, discussing with teachers of the word of God. Still affected by this incident, Mary said to Jesus, ‘Son, why have you done that! We were looking for you everywhere.’ Jesus then answered with those words: Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?

  • Matthew 3.13-17 | The baptism of Jesus

    Matthew 3.13-17 | The baptism of Jesus
    Sep 10 2025
    We will study today a topic that is not necessarily too popular nowadays. And this topic is about submission. Today we want to insist on equality. Equality of rights. Equality between the genders. Equality between the different races. Equality between the social classes. And thank God that by this insistence on equality, we have dealt, at least to a certain extent, with some injustice in our world. But let us not be blinded by this insistence on equality to the fact that submission is also a part of God's message for us. In fact, when I read the Bible, it seems to me that the Scriptures insist more on the matter of submission than on the matter of equality. Submission is a Christian virtue that should characterize the relationship of the believer to God and His will, and expressed in his relationship to his spiritual family and to the civil authorities of the country.

  • Luke 4.1-4 | The temptation of Christ (1)

    Luke 4.1-4 | The temptation of Christ (1)
    Sep 9 2025
    I would like to invite you to open your Bible and read Luke 4.1-4. This is what we find.
    Luke 4.1. And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led about by the Spirit in the wilderness
    2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days; and when they had ended, He became hungry.
    3 And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."
    4 And Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

    Luke 4.9-13 | The temptation of Christ (3)
    Sep 7 2025
    Today we will continue and conclude our study of the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. If you have heard the first two lessons of this series, I hope that you are beginning to see how Satan can be subtle.
    The devil usually comes behind your back and before you even know it, you have already stumbled. And it is precisely because we want to avoid that to happen to us that we are studying these verses of the Scriptures about the enemy. We want to know the tactics of Satan so that we can anticipate his evil influence on us. The moment you give your allegiance to God through baptism, you can be sure that Satan is not going to give you any rest.

  • John 2.13-22 | In three days I will raise it up

    John 2.13-22 | In three days I will raise it up
    Sep 6 2025
    The Jews considered the temple to be God’s house. But the arrival of Jesus altered this understanding of the temple. The glory of God will be found somewhere else. Jesus alluded to this change early in His ministry, in John 2.13-22. Let’s look at this incident.
    John 2.13. And the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
    14 And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers seated.
    15 And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the moneychangers, and overturned their tables;
    16 and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a house of merchandise."
    17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Thy house will consume me."
    18 The Jews therefore answered and said to Him, "What sign do You show to us, seeing that You do these things?"
    19 Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
    20 The Jews therefore said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"
    21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
    22 When therefore He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.
