For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 — Modern English Version (Thinline Edition.; Lake Mary, FL: Passio, 2014) The wages of sin is death. It’s that simple. Think about what Paul is saying. Understanding this critical point is a foundation…

Continuing from the previous post, there are things to keep in mind. The first is the perspective of the author and the ideas he chooses to convey. Here is the foundation text beginning with the account in Matthew. Jesus departed from the temple and was leaving when His disciples came to show Him the temple…

This is an introduction to my own attempt to discover the similarities and distinctions of the presentation of the Olivet Discourse (first post) as given in the synoptic gospels. The Synoptic Gospels are Matthew, Mark, and Luke, as they present themselves similarly in the things they record of Jesus’ ministry on Earth. The first thing…

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” Genesis 2:17 — Modern English Version (Thinline Edition.; Lake Mary, FL: Passio, 2014) When you read that verse, what comes to mind? I offer, most who read…

You have taken Him, who was handed over to you by the ordained counsel and foreknowledge of God, and by lawless hands have crucified and killed Him, whom God raised up by loosening the pull of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. Acts 2:23–24 — Modern English Version…

Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me. Revelation 3:20 — Modern English Version (Thinline Edition.; Lake Mary, FL: Passio, 2014) I cannot help but to see how urgent and insistent this declaration is.…

Again, Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sins. Where I am going, you cannot come.” John 8:21 — Modern English Version (Thinline Edition.; Lake Mary, FL: Passio, 2014) That simple truth is a stumbling block for many. Jesus said it to the…
