Occasionally I am asked about how the Lord felt about Peter’s denial (see Matthew 26:35-75). While I use the events surrounding Peter’s denial to teach a different lesson, it is good to get apostolic perspective. I include President Kimball’s remarks concerning these events for those who have continued questions regardingContinue Reading
In John’s account of the exchange between Jesus and Pontius Pilate, the Prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, we read the following: Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Sayest thouContinue Reading
Much of the discussion in 1st Thessalonians has to do with becoming converted to Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 1:7-10, 2:12, 3:12-13, and 4:1-5 all emphasize the importance of Christians “walking the walk” of a Christ-centered life. As it is stated in the Book of Mormon: “Marvel not that all mankind,Continue Reading
Matthew 26:31-35 tell of the interchange between Jesus and Peter where the Savior tells Peter that he will deny him three times before the cock crows in the morning. Peter’s response is quite telling. He says, “Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee” (Matthew 26:35).Continue Reading
ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ Ἰησοῦν τὸν Ναζωραῖον λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἐγώ εἰμι εἱστήκει δὲ καὶ Ἰούδας ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν – John 18.5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am. And Judas, who turned Jesus over to them (those coming to arrest Jesus), stood with them. (my translation) Notice how Jesus identified himself to his enemies in John 18.5. He told them, “…IContinue Reading
I really enjoyed putting together these visual representations of the last week of the Savior’s life. Here are a couple of versions I worked on over the 2012 Christmas break: I hope you like these! I enjoyed putting them together. Both of these represent a kind of hybrid approach toContinue Reading
Marriage to 7 husbands: Sadducees ask Jesus a question- at the temple Matthew 22:23-33; Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:37-38 On his final week of his mortal ministry, Jesus was asked several questions by certain groups of people. One question came to him from the Sadducees. The Sadducees were trying to embarrassContinue Reading
In John 14 Philip makes a request of the Savior. In the narrative we read: Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he thatContinue Reading
John 13:20-30 show how Jesus treated Judas before Judas left to betray him. The apostles partook of the passover, and after Jesus washed the apostle’s feet we read the following: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receivethContinue Reading
