What Can a Man Give in Exchange for His Life?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, March 19

“What can a man give in return for his life?” (March 8:37)Decision time.Jesus is meeting with his men at Caesarea Philippi, a city outside the borders of Israel. There Peter makes the great confession: “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God” (Matthew 16:16). Jesus then reveals the fact of his coming crucifixion in Je... Read more

Who of You by Worrying Can Add a Single Hour to His Life?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, March 18

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” (Matthew 6:27)Can you worry your way into an extra hour of life?No, but you might take a few off your life by worrying.We’re really pretty limited if you think about it. All our days and hours and minutes and seconds are in the Father’s hands. Recently I spoke with ... Read more

What Is That To You?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, March 17

“What is that to you?” (John 21:23)Years ago I heard Dr. Vernon Grounds, longtime president of Denver Seminary, share a story from a time in his early ministry when he was bring harshly criticized for some stands he had taken. The men criticizing him felt he should have been stronger or stated things more forcefully or done things a dif... Read more

Do You Love Me?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, March 16

“Do You Love Me?” (John 21:17).Several questions come to mind as we read this passage (John 21:15-17). Why did Jesus ask Peter three times, “Do you love me?” Because Peter had denied him three times. Why did he do this publicly? Because Peter denied him publicly. The other disciples needed to hear Peter openly declare hi... Read more

Who Gave You This Authority?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, March 15

“Who gave you this authority?” (Matthew 21:23)Religious types are always big on authority issues.Who are you?Where did you come from?Who gave you the right to teach here?What school did you attend?Where is your diploma?Why didn’t you ask us for permission?Who do you think you are, anyway? ...

Who Is My Mother?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, March 14

“Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” (Matthew 12:48)Sometimes Jesus could seem rude. Or maybe blunt would be a better word.But perhaps we have not understood him correctly. Jesus stood in a dual relationship to his mother Mary and to his earthly brothers and sisters. They were indeed part of his earthly family. He never denied th... Read more

Who Do You Say That I Am?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, March 13

“Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15)It all comes down to this eventually. Here is a question everyone must answer. In the Greek text, that word you has an enormous stress. In fact, the you really goes at the first of the sentence. It is as if Jesus is saying, “But you who have followed me and have known me from th... Read more

Who Touched Me?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, March 12

“Who touched me?” (Luke 8:45)It seems like an absurd question. With so many people pressing in upon Jesus, how could anyone know who touched him? So many people wanted to be near him, it could have been any man or any woman in the crowd. But the Master knew that someone had touched the edge of his garment and at that moment a mighty mir...

Whose Wife Will She Be?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, March 11

“At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?” (Luke 20:33)This is a trick question, right?Talk about a run of bad luck. A woman marries a man who dies leaving her with no children to carry on the family name. So along comes the younger brother who marries her and then dies leaving her with no childre... Read more

How Do You Know Me?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, March 10

“How do you know me?” (John 1:48)Little things mean a lot.Nathanael couldn’t figure out how Jesus knew who he was. They had never met, and Nathanael knew nothing at all about Jesus. Though he had no opinion about Jesus, Jesus had a high opinion of him, saying, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false&rdqu... Read more

To Whom Shall We Go?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, March 9

“Lord, to whom shall we go?” (John 6:68)Jesus is too much for some people.Sometimes the words of Jesus seem too strong, his demands too strict, his sayings too mysterious to understand. Sometimes the problem is simply that Jesus asks for everything, and that’s more than we are willing to give.In this case Jesus has just revealed t... Read more
