Jesus Before Pilate
Who were the other two men on the crosses?
Who were the other two men on the crosses with Jesus? They were us. You and me. They were everyone who has ever heard the name of Jesus. It’s a simple story. Quite short. Twelve verses. In Luke’s Gospel. And yet, it tells the story of every one of us. Let’s see why it’s so important that we know their story. And through them, our story.

Old Testament prophecy: Was Jesus subject to the government?
Was Jesus subject to the government? Yes, He was. Kind of. Sort of. Does Old Testament prophecy say this was going to be the case? Well, we can say yes, in a way. Yet again the Nelson’s Topical Reference we’re using for this Advent study has a New Testament verse for Jesus being subject to the government. Therefore, once again we’ll take the context of that NT verse and see what the Old Testament says about it.

Demanding the meaning of truth – Part 1
Demanding the meaning of truth. It’s from an interesting song – Freedom for the World. Full of hope – like the title words, demanding the meaning of truth. Also full of warnings like, if we don’t get it together we’ll be gone. Not to mention the conclusion, Look to your heart and let love lead the way. The irony is that depending on your point of view, the words of the song lead to wildly varying meanings of truth! We will, of course, look at it from a Christian point of view.
Not the “nominal” Christian who tends to be little more than Christian in name only. Or from the “average” Christian, who follows the parts of Jesus’ teachings that they like, and finds ways to rationalize ignoring the things they don’t like. Instead, we’ll look at it from the point of view of the way Christians are actually taught to live. A way that none actually achieve, other than Jesus Himself.
