Top Highlights
“This is certainly a text that plainly applies to religious leaders. Christian pastors, and believers in general, especially need to ask themselves, ‘Am I among those who have persecuted God’s servants, his spokesmen? Have I neglected to hear God’s plain Word, or rejected it, loved other things more than him? Have I lived according to his Word?’ How the First Commandment, and also the Second and Third apply here!” (Page 321)
“The apostles then, and of course all of Jesus’ followers of all time, should remember that when they are mistreated, when they meet with opposition and suffer persecution, they are being treated no differently than their Lord. What an honor!” (Page 238)
“Do you expect to receive wages from God for living right, or do you look at yourself as a recipient of God’s grace?” (Page 312)
“The concluding adverbial clause of this verse beautifully points out the underlying purpose for Jesus’ allowing Peter, James, and John to observe this mountaintop incident: Jesus shows himself to be God who is indeed capable of rising from the dead.” (Page 117)
“It is easier to gain an audience with Jesus than with anyone. He is always ready to listen, always ready to teach.” (Page 74)
