Psalms: 128, 129  Meditation Colossians: I think Paul is insisting that all of our (spiritual, moral) focus be directed to Christ. Here Paul articulates for us, in words we can understand, that which is incomprehensible to our minds – mainly just how supreme Christ is. The “hang ups” we may reserve about food and ritual, …

Psalm: 83 Meditation Romans: Hearing the gospel is necessary for salvation, but hearing is not enough: people must also respond with personal trust. Isaiah 53:1 prophesies that not all will believe. The message that must be heard is the word of Christ, that is, the good news about Jesus Christ as the crucified and risen …

Psalms: 148, 150 Meditation 1 John: There is nothing quite like a tricky passage to make life exciting. I can easily imagine confusion about this and since I am no theologian, all I can offer is my opinion so here goes. I doubt we fully comprehend how, dare I say, desperately God loves us and …

Psalm: 109 Meditation Galatians: “It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly exhibited as crucified!” (v. 1) You see, it was verses like this that make me reflect on Paul’s time in Arabia as being a bit more than something like a sabbatical, just missing. According to notes from ESV Study Bible, “Paul’s …

Psalm: 119:121-144 Meditation Isaiah: Christmas marks the beginning of the culmination of the redemption story: the life of Christ. Isaiah’s words can be echoed by believers: “…for though You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away, and You comforted me.” (v. 1) The thing about the water and the well is that it …

Psalms: 58, 67 Meditation Luke: Just how important is the Passover and what significance does it have for us Christians today? The symbolism of the first Passover was, for the Jews, the beginning of their liberation from slavery. But, what for us? The powerful reality of the blood at Passover, shows that “without the shedding …

Psalm: 72 Meditation Romans: The opening lines of this passage are so triumphant that they should make all of us who are in Christ to jump up and down with joy. That has not been my experience as I observe most Christians around me. We revisit, to some degree, what we looked at in chapter …

Psalm 35 Meditation: Hebrews – Very few figures in the Bible have been known to be both a king and a priest. This role is called the Order of Mechizedek, named after the King/Priest who met Abram. Not much was known of Mechizedek other than the meanings of his names. There is no birth or …

Psalm 85 Meditation: Ephesians – Paul uses a lot of imagery in his letters. Every thought and act can either bring us closer to Christ or draw us a little further into darkness. Everything that we do and say should be a reflection of the light of Christ, even with those who we feel the …

Christmas Day Psalms: 148, 150 Meditation John: We celebrate God being born of a woman today. That God “The one who comes from above is above all…” (v. 31) became an, will, I think, prove to be incomprehensible once we gasp its full import but we won’t know that until after creation is restored: all …
