Mar 4, 2014 · Jesus explained (likely) every one of them in His conversation with Cleopas and an unnamed disciple as they walked together from Jerusalem to Emmaus after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection (see Luke 24). Notice the three-fold division of Scripture spoken of: the Law (of Moses), the Prophets, and the Psalms (the "Writings").
Christ Brings Division - “I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished! Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be ...

The fact that in the Old Testament God went out of his way to make a connection between someone’s God-given name and the essentially important thing about that person is significant. For example, Genesis 17:5: Abram changed to Abraham. “No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a mu...
Second, when the Son of God came into the world as the very presence of God himself, he was given a name: Jesus. “You shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Jesus means savior. He’s more, but he’s not less. “‘They shall call his name Immanuel’ (which means, God with us)” (Matthew 1:23). We should cal...
Jared’s real question, my real question, is, Why? We can all see this in the Bible, that the name really matters, and the name really stands for the essence. And we’ve adapted our language to that. We don’t even blink when we pray in Jesus’s name or do something in Jesus’s name. But why this remarkably frequent reference to the name? And here’s my ...
So here’s the implication: Referring to the name of Jesus so often is a way of saying, “This person is not to be dealt with in private. He is not to be hidden, a hidden essence in your heart or in your closet. He is to be public, globally known, acknowledged as a person with an identity that people talk to and people talk about — that people praise...
Not Peace, but Division - “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. They will ...
Jun 26, 2023 · Answer. Some people claim that our Lord should not be referred to as “Jesus.”. Instead, we should only use the name “ Yeshua.”. Some even go so far as to say that calling Him “Jesus” is blasphemous. Others go into great detail about how the name “Jesus” is unbiblical because the letter J is a modern invention and there was no ...
Jun 26, 2023 · God sent Jesus to save us (John 3:17). The meaning of Jesus’ name—“Yahweh saves”—reveals His mission (to save and deliver) and His identity as Savior of the world. At the same time, the commonness of Jesus’ name underscores His humanity and humility. The Son of God emptied Himself of His glory to become a humble man (Philippians 2:6 ...

Mar 18, 2013 · The baptism Jesus speaks of in Luke 12 is a baptism that had not yet occurred. This baptism is understood to be His death, burial, and resurrection (see Mark 10:38). In other words, Jesus is going to be immersed into death. The result of this baptism is the kindling of the refiner’s fire that is cast upon earth.
