The exhortation to follow is not a passive word. It demands action. The idea is that you should follow peace with all men and holiness with the same zeal that Saul of Tarsus had when he was persecuting the Church.

The first century Christians were experiencing afflictions and discouragement. At the same time, they had forgotten that God chastens those whom he loves. Whatever you are may be going through, you need to believe that ultimately, God does it for your good, even if it does not feel like it at the time.

James and John came to the Lord with a request. They wanted Jesus to grant to them that they may sit, one on his right hand and the other on his left hand in his kingdom. They had to learn that the way to greatness in the Kingdom is through suffering and humility in service.

Christmas Day is a day chosen by man to mark the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. We don't know exactly when he was born, but we do know that it was at exactly the right time. It was when the fulness of time was come. God has his timetable and he keeps to it.

Hebrews 11 gave examples of faith and how this ought to effect the way we live. This letter was originally written to backward-lookingHebrew Christians in the first century. They were told that the Old Testament saints had not received the promise of being made perfect, not without the New Testament believers. The 'us' includes Christians today who are trusting in Jesus. As for the 'Great Cloud Of Witnesses'? Are these the Old Testament saints? No, I would say they are far too busy worshipping Jesus for this. The witness here is the testimony of the men and women of faith; what they achieved for God's glory.

Is being rich a blessing from the Lord and a sign of salvation? Not at all. It is hard, indeed naturally impossible for a rich man to be saved. But it is possible with God. Salvation is of grace.

This young man came eagerly to the Lord Jesus Christ and he wanted eternal life. That was good, but he had a real problem. He thought he was righteous, that he was acceptable to God. Perhaps you think that you are too, but this young man had to see that he was a sinner and that he could never do anything which would make him acceptable to God. He loved his wealth more than he loved the Lord.
