The Bible Standard - Discover the Truth. (By Christadelphianvideo.org)

How are you feeling in your heart?  Depressed?  Exalted? Or somewhere in between?  We meditated on the various conditions of our heart’s emotions and of David’s as we read of his efforts to stir the people into a spirit of thanksgiving.  They were bringing the sacred ark of the covenant into the tent (presumably to some degree a replica of the tabernacle) David had set up in Jerusalem.  He had rec...

How vital it is to do things – spiritual things especially, “ according to the word of the LORD. ”  When we do not follow the instructions that come with the things we buy, or later lose them and guess what they said  –  we often have a problem!   Until Solomon built the magnificent Temple, the centre of worship for the people had been the Tabernacle. This contained God’s golden ark concealed with...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The belief in resurrection of Jesus Christ is a matter of life and death. The New and also the Old Testament writings prophesied that Jesus Christ would be raised from the dead. The disciples, having seen their risen Lord, preached His resurrection to all who would listen.

Pilate was the most powerful man in Israel in the days of Jesus.    But he was strangely helpless in carrying out his own desire to let Jesus go free, though he said  “I find no guilt in this man”  [Luke 23 v.4] and “nothing deserving of death has been done by him” (v.15) “I will release him” [v.16 and again v.22]  After all these declarations, it is strange how Pilate gives in.  When we compare t...

Today’s 22nd chapter of Luke tells us of the arrest of Jesus, it is quite detailed and we pondered the probability that some in the crowd that came to arrest him and brought him to the High Priest’s house later believed and joined the early believers on the Day of Pentecost or soon after. Luke and the other gospel writers would have had their testimony corroborated and maybe amplified by such.  We...

Our ch. 21 in Luke’s gospel today contains the awesome prophecy Jesus gave of events on earth when he is about to return.  The meaning of v.24 is clear to us – that “Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”  It is no longer “trampled underfoot” – but it is not clear that some parts of the old city are yet under complete Jewish control –...

 What a lot of pretense there is in the world.  So many create an ‘image’ to project before others!  While politicians are probably the best example of this, let us not practice any self-deception, for such is our own human nature; the spirit of the age cannot help but have some influence on us.  The ‘medicine’ to correct this is the daily reading of the word of God.  But like the medicine for phy...

Season 1 Episode 2 - Walking in the Commandment (Nigel Bernard)

We read today in Luke 19 that Jesus told “a parable … because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately” [v.11]  Jesus was the centre of attention of the ordinary people, he had a triumphant entry into Jerusalem riding on a colt. (v.30-38).  The crowd rejoiced but how many thought about his parable? It was about a nobleman giving money (minas) to ten servants, one had ten min...

Today we read the parable of the persistent widow who kept coming to the judge in her city asking “justice against my adversary” – but this “judge neither feared God nor respected men” [Luke 18 v.23].  We get the impression some countries today have many judges like that, maybe it would resonate in the minds of some of Jesus’ hearers with some judges they knew!  In the end, the judge says, “becaus...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Discussion on the relationship of Jesus and his Father is often plagued by the introduction of logical fallacies of argument. Logical care must be taken when exploring the meaning of Jesus’ statement, “I and my Father are one.” One in purpose, yes, but not one in being. Jesus is the agent of his Father and could be called “god”, just as men and angels are. S...
