Scripture (Hebrews 2: 18; 4: 15) says Jesus was tempted in all things as we are. And according to Matthew 4: 1-11, Jesus was tempted directly by the devil. It appears to me that the key word in the verse … Continue reading
Some Christians believe that Michael and Jesus are the same person. I’m not convinced of that. What holds me back is the word “angel” that’s included in Michael’s title. To me, that seems to be saying that if Michael and … Continue reading
On one hand, Jesus says His incarnation wasn’t to bring peace to the earth. Instead, He said He came with a sword (Matthew 10: 34). It’s true. HIs arrival into earthly life and the life He lived upon this earth, … Continue reading

The divine nature of Jesus wasn’t explicit most of the time. It was cloaked and controlled by His humanity. Aside from His miracles, most of His actions often came across as the actions of a lot of other humans. Jesus … Continue reading
A belief that’s existed throughout almost all of Christianity’s history is taught as the doctrine of eternal Sonship. Its premise – affirmed in the Nicene Creed, 325 A.D. – is that Jesus, fully God and fully man, has always been … Continue reading
Jesus rose from the dead in a physical body. It looked the same as the one He had before dying. We know this because people recognized Him—His disciples and more than five hundred others (1 Corinthians 15: 4-6). We also … Continue reading
I was approached some days ago by a woman handing out spiritual literature and wanting to know if I knew the Lord. I answered in the affirmative, but before taking her tract, I asked what organization she was with. As … Continue reading

I was just thinking that in all the Jesus paintings I’ve seen, none portray him as laughing—a smile, sure, but not outright laughter. I know that he was God on a serious mission, but come on, for Christ’s sake—He was … Continue reading
There are three phrases in the Bible that some have attached to Jesus’ origin. They have been interpreted in such a way as to deny Jesus’ eternal divinity, making Him out to be a created being. Here’s why that’s not … Continue reading
It is believed by most scholars that Joseph, Jesus’ step dad, was quite a bit older than Mary, and had been married to another woman who had passed away. They believe that Joseph had children from that previous marriage, and … Continue reading
