It is Jesus who began new history of humanity
The verses of the Holy Bible quoted in the video: Luke 10:25-37 25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. ‘Teacher,’ he asked, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ 26 ‘What is written in the Law?’ he replied. ‘How do you read it?’ 27 He answered, ‘ “Love the Lord your […]
Jesus Christ, our Powerful Savior and King
First of all, let us start with Hebrews 12:25 that tells us a warning. 25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from […]
a self-righteous religious man who didn’t ask God’s forgiveness
Verses in the Holy Bible particularly interesting to me would be interesting to Buddhists because I read the Holy Bible as an ex-Buddhist. So, if I share what interested me, it will help Buddhists. One of them is ‘The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector’. The reason I didn’t understand the parable well […]
The image on it tells where it belongs
Luke 20:20 – 26 (Short Message) The same event is also written in Matthew 22:15 – 22 and Mark 12:13 – 17. Differently to Matthew and Mark, Luke expressed them as “spies” (20, 21). Sending spies to the ministry of God is clearly wrong and a serious misconduct that will also bring God’s judgement. To […]
The Parable of the Minas
Luke 19:11 – 27 This parable is similar to the Parable of the Talents written in Matthew 25:14-30. Here, a man of noble birth (12) represents Jesus (Son of David). Ten Servants received ten minas (13a). Their mission was “putting the money to work” (13b). Here, the servants are stewards. They do not own the […]
Obstacle, Faith, and Healing
35 As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, ‘Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.’ 38 He called out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’ 39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be […]
The Kingdom of God belongs to the little children
Luke 18:15-17 15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Truly I […]
Not looking back
Luke 17:20 – 37 Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come (20a). Jesus taught them based on how people tend to misunderstand about the kingdom of God (20b-24). The prerequisite of it is the Passion of the Christ (25). People may miss it out because of wrong priority in […]
Servanthood before God
Luke 17:7-10 7 “Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? 8 Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after […]
Having enough time with God in 2017
Luke 14:12 – 24 I. Wise Inviter (12 – 14) In Luke 14:12 – 14, Jesus teaches us to be a wise inviter. See v12. 12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, […]
