Dec 2, 2018 · The 4000 seat theater of Sepphoris was constructed at the time of roughly 20 AD. It is here that Jesus may have picked up the word "Hypocrite." In Augustine's Confessions - He speaks about the theater (book 3.2) “ I was much attracted by the theatre, because the plays reflected my own unhappy plight and were tinder to my fire.

Aug 20, 2013 · Senior writer, desiringGod.org. Theology is inherently theatrical — there’s a stage (creation), a script (Scripture), a main Actor (our Triune God), secondary actors (the Church), and a historical plot (creation, fall, redemption, and restoration). Which is to say the work of theology is more than the right formulation of orthodox principles.

As a writer I know the two most important things of anything I write are the beginning and the ending. A strong opening draws readers and keeps them interested, while a powerful close gives readers something to take with them. Though I don’t think biblical writers focused on these two areas, it’s still interesting to look at how they wrapped up the...
Matthew ends by quoting Jesus, which many embrace as a personal call to action. “Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ‘Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have co...
Mark has two endings, with the second one not found in all manuscripts. But since the first version ends abruptly and leaves us hanging. I’ll share the concluding thought in the second one. “After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, ...
Luke ends his biography of Jesus by telling us what his followers did. This contrasts to what Jesus toldhis followers to do at the end of Matthew. “When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. Then they worshiped him and returned ...
As a writer I especially appreciate the end of the book of John, but from a broader perspective it makes me wish more people had written about the life of Jesus. I want to know more. “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be writt...
Luke concludes the book of Acts with what may be Paul’s last work here on earth. This should encourage us to finish strong. “For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance” (Acts 28:30-...
Paul ends most of his letters succinctly and often with a bit of encouragement. A reoccurring word in many of his parting lines is grace. “…to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen (Romans 16:27, NIV). “My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen” (1 Corinthians 16:24, NIV). “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the l...
Though we don’t know who wrote Hebrews, it’s interesting to see a similarity to Paul’s sign offs. “Grace be with you all” (Hebrews 13:25, NIV).
Noted for his direct, practical writing, James ends his book the same way. “Remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins” (James 5:20, NIV).
The ending to Peter’s two letters are much different than Paul’s. “Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ” (Peter 5:14, NIV). “So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him” (2 Peter 3:14, NIV).

Jan 14, 2024 · The last words are contained in Revelation 22:21, which is the final verse of the final chapter. This verse concludes not only the book of Revelation but the entire biblical canon. The placement of this benediction at the very end signifies that the whole of Scripture culminates with an expression of Christ’s favor poured out on all people.
