Leviticus 23 gives Israel a calendar of appointed times shaped by worship, not astrology. This study walks through each feast and how the New Testament handles it.

In John 13:1-17 Jesus washes his disciples' feet the night before he dies, giving a living picture of humble love and a command to serve one another. The passage is about humility, cleansing, and following his example, not a ritual to copy mechanically.

Jesus did not face the cross with calm detachment. John 12:27-28 records him troubled in soul, asking what he should say, yet refusing to ask the Father to save him from that hour.

John 19:28-30 records Jesus saying he was thirsty, receiving sour wine, and declaring the work finished. The vinegar was a real drink offered at the cross and the fulfillment of Psalm 69:21, not a detail John invented for effect.

Jesus does not merely point toward the way to the Father; He claims to be the way, the truth, and the life. This study walks through John 14:6 in context and shows why the claim still calls for a decision.

Jesus spoke plainly about judgment and about a destruction that outlasts the body. Matthew 10:28 centers that warning and raises the question of who is to be feared and why.

Jesus said he came to send a sword, not peace. The sword is not violence but the dividing word of God that forces a decision about him.

The second commandment forbids making an image as an object of worship. Christians have long differed over whether a Jesus statue crosses that line, so the text itself must set the terms.

In John 9, Jesus heals a man blind from birth by spitting on the ground, making mud, and anointing his eyes. The physical means are deliberate, not accidental, and the healing points beyond the eyes to who Jesus is.

The title son of David is not a compliment but a claim about covenant. Jesus inherits a promise God swore to David in 2 Samuel 7:12-16.

Jesus is called the son of Mary because he was truly born of a woman, conceived by the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:26-38 records the annunciation that names both his real humanity and his divine identity.

Hebrews 4:14-16 ties our confidence before God to a high priest who is sinless and yet sympathetic. This study walks through what Scripture does and does not claim about the sinlessness of Jesus.

Jesus did not drift toward the cross; He deliberately set His face toward Jerusalem. Luke 9:51 marks the turn where His mission becomes unmistakably fixed on the suffering that awaited Him there.

The Jesus Seminar asked which words of Jesus could be voted authentic. Luke's preface answers the historical question differently, grounding faith in carefully investigated eyewitness testimony rather than scholarly ballots.

First Corinthians 15:3-8 preserves the earliest summary of the gospel Paul received and passed on: Christ died for our sins, was buried, was raised on the third day, and appeared to Cephas, the Twelve, and hundreds more.

Hebrews 10:1-14 argues that the law's repeated sacrifices were a shadow, never able to perfect anyone. Jesus offered one sacrifice for sins and sat down, because the work was finished.

Hebrews 9:27 states that death comes once and is followed by judgment, not by another earthly life. Jesus did not return as another person; he rose in the same body and will return visibly as himself.

Luke 24:36-43 records the risen Jesus inviting his disciples to touch him and eating broiled fish before them. The resurrection is not a metaphor or a ghost story; it is the same Jesus, bodily alive.

Jesus said the Son of Man came to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. That single sentence anchors the whole New Testament understanding of his death.

Isaiah 53:4-6 presents the Servant who bears our sickness and carries our suffering, stricken by God for our sake. The New Testament applies this to Jesus, who bore our sins in his body on the tree.
