Psalm: 25 Meditation: ActsThe persecution of the Early church had driven many Christians out of the Holy Land, as far north as the Roman Territories in modern day Turkey. At first they shared the Good News of the Lord with Jews only, but eventually the Good News spread to the Helenists (gentiles). A large number …

Psalms: 114, 115  Meditation Romans: Paul reminds us here that the stronger (for the sake of argument, let’s say the Jewish believers) need to put up with the weaker (let’s say Gentiles). The Jews would be “stronger” for delivered to them were the oracles of God, whereas the Gentiles did have that advantage. Be patient. …

Psalm: 66 Meditation Isaiah: The Jews of Isaiah’s day, not unlike Christians today, had a tendency not to be faithful. The early part of chapter 51 speaks of judgment and then we come to verse 17. The tone here changes from one of judgment to one of reconciliation. The LORD, like any good parent, may, …

Psalms: 46, 47  Meditation John: The “Jews” of verse 41 were probably members of the “Council” – scribes, Pharisees, and priests, which composed the “elders”. These would be people steeped in Scripture and would haggle over the meaning of a word. If they had them then, then this Council would have used a magnifying glass …

Psalm: 79 Meditation Isaiah: This prophecy is frequently cited during Advent. “The people who walked in darkness…” (v. 2) most of us understand them to be the Jews and given the references to Zebulun, Naphtali and the Jordan, certainly justifies that position, but what else? Many prophecies can portend the near future as well as …

Psalm: 16 Meditation Isaiah: It appears the LORD does not have any good things to say to Judah. These Jews would have been insulted at being mentioned in the same breath as Sodom and Gomorrah and here the Judeans are being identified with those reprobates. I hope we remember the horrendous period of the Judges …

Psalm: 103 Meditation Acts: This voyage Luke describes Paul’s last. Verse 9 tells us “…the Fast had already gone by”. This “Fast” is none other than the Day of Atonement for Jews which put us, likely in the month of September. Life at sea made strong men quake – remember how terrified the Apostles were …

Psalms: 127, 128 Meditation Acts: Just to fix the time of year in this account – the “days of unleavened bread” would be Holy Week, probably in April. Ever popular among the Jews, Paul managed yet again to get a “fatwā”, as a Moslem might call it, (or “hit”) on his life. Paul was confrontational! …

Psalms: 147, 150 Meditation John: Sometimes I think that the “Jews”, or what I believe to mean the scribes, priests, and not all the Pharisees – or as it were, the elders, follow Jesus around with the sole purpose of trapping Him. I prefer to think that they are really seeking the Truth. Jesus tells …

Psalm: 83 Meditation John: Here Jesus is speaking to the Jews who had believed in Him. (v. 31) Good to know who is speaking. John tells us that these Jews had believed in Him. As we continue, we will see they believe no longer. “I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you look …
