Weekly Scripture 4-5-2026

Answer:

These verses come from John and out of the same chapter.

__:__Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

__:__Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

*Birth and death are two experiences that everyone has on this earth, and the human life is very short in time span. It is so short that God describes it as a vapor in Psalm 39:5. Mary probably had this kind of an idea in her mind when she went to the tomb and was looking for the body of Jesus in the first verse listed above. She basically was telling the disciples, “I did not see His body”. But, in the last verse listed above she told the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!”. Wow! Jesus conquered death! By the 27th verse of this same chapter we know that what they were seeing was no ghost; Jesus had a physical body and death had been disarmed by our amazing “Lord and our God”; King Jesus! He arose victorious from the grave and by His stripes we are healed! Jesus is not just a way to be saved, He is the Way the Truth and the Life and no man comes to the Father, but by Him! Amen and Amen!

Weekly Scripture 3-29-2026

Answer: John 1:23

This comes from John, but what chapter and verse?

__:__He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

*You and I as Christians can learn a lot from this verse. Don't you think it should be the case that we should be satisfied with being a voice, because certainly the message that we have to give about Jesus is much greater than the individual that gives the message. That Christian voice should always declare the glories of Christ. “Make straight the way of the Lord”, in other words John was telling them to get ready for the coming Lord, and that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. It was at hand in the person of the King “Christ Jesus”! I think he was also telling the people of that day to get the crooked things out of their lives and deal with the things that are wrong. We need to do that as Christians and as a country today, because when we do that, there is opened up fellowship with God. “If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:” (1 John1:6).
