Weekly Scripture 4-12-2026

Answer: 

This comes from Romans.

__:__So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

*This verse is for the person that has questions about God. God says to come to Him with your questions and He will give you evidence for your mind to consider. That is where He starts with any of us. God does not ask anyone to take a leap in the dark when you come to Him. Faith in God is not a gamble, it is the surest thing that there is, and from this verse you can see that faith rests on the tangible evidence that God shows a person, and so you can make the observation that faith is not contrary to reason. God appeals to our intellect. So, the next time you hear a person talk about faith in God being a leap in the dark; just explain this principle to them.

Weekly Scripture 4-5-2026

Answer: John 20:2, 18

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!
