Jesus

Acts 10:34–35

“Then Kefa [Simon Peter] addressed them: “I now understand that God does not play favorites, but that whoever fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him, no matter what people he belongs to.”

Ephesians 3:6

“… in union with the Messiah and through the Good News the Gentiles were to be joint heirs, a joint body and joint sharers with the Jews in what God has promised.”

Another clear rebuke of replacement theology and also, two-house theories (the belief that God has a different…

Romans 9:6

“But the present condition of Israel does not mean that the Word of God has failed.”

This passage is an outstanding rebuttal to those who fall for various forms of replacement theology & anti-Zionism, usually believing that 1) God’s plan for the Jews failed, and thus that the goal…

John 10:1–5

Yeshua (Jesus) describes Himself in this passage as the Good Shepherd. He comes to His sheep meeting all the requirements: fulfilling all the Messianic prophecies, walking in the ways of Torah and being of the lineage of David, a fellow Jew. Anyone who did not fulfill these requirements was clearly a false…

John 7:19, 24

“Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law?”

If Yeshua (Jesus) came to abolish the law of Moses, why would He say these words? I imagine if that were the case, then He would have more than likely said, “None of you keeps the law. Good! I came to nullify it…

Luke 5:4–6

Simon and the other fishermen had spent all day fishing without anything to show for it, and suddenly with Yeshua they had far more than they could ever ask for. It was as…

Mark 12:29–31

I have a handy mnemonic for remembering the 10 commandments in two halves: Oh, I never sin, Mom! My awesome smart friend Christian. Allow me to explain:

O: One God (or no Other gods)

Mark 12:18

How fascinating that in the time of Yeshua’s (Jesus’) ministry, there had arisen a sect of Judaism that did not believe in the resurrection.

Many people, without a comprehensive knowledge of the scriptures, do not realize that resurrection (and eternal life) was a common theme in…

Matthew 23:29–31

We often like to think that had we been present at the trial of Yeshua (Jesus), we would not have condemned Him to death. But I am a firm believer that we are no better than those who came before us. We are sinners just like all humanity throughout history. We can’t say with any certainty that we…

Matthew 22:41–46

Many have opined over the years about the dual nature of Yeshua (Jesus) being both fully man and fully God. Many have questioned whether, while walking in the flesh, Yeshua could be considered truly divine. But this passage clearly refutes the notion that Yeshua was anything less than. Yeshua…
