Most likely, Jesus spoke Aramaic as his primary language, as it was the common language spoken in the region of Palestine during the 1st century. A Semitic language, it is closely related to Hebrew and remains in use nowadays by Christian and Jewish communities in Iraq, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and even in Russia....

Recently I was fascinated to learn that attitudes toward children were very different in Jesus’ time than in our own. While today children are seen as valuable and important, the prevailing attitude during the 1st century was that children were “worthless” and “like chattel.” Knowing how people of the time saw children really put some...

Anger is one of those sneaky emotions that can affect us in a number of ways: from a sudden rage to having a constant deep fire within that leaves you permanently ready to explode for the slightest reason. The problem with this sort of sentiment is that it doesn’t just affect the individual, but also... Continue Reading →
Jesus Calls And Matthew Follows Perhaps one of the most powerful stories of discipleship in Gospel involves the very call of Matthew himself.

Joshua has become a battering ram of sorts for the group known as “New Atheists” who point to... Continue Reading →
Jesus gives a very clear example of what it means to be the light of the world in Matthew chapter 5. This example is seen in Mt. 5:43-48 which states, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for...

In sacred scripture we read that man was created he had a perfect relationship with God. Man is the pinnacle of creation, and God gave man everything. In return the Lord asked man not to each of one tree in the garden. Man did not listen, rebelled, and had to face the consequences of sin... Continue Reading →
The book of Romans is one that is filled with an incredible depth of theological thought. The great Apostle wrote to the Romans though he had yet to visit them in person. Within the literary context, Romans 3:21-26 fits within the larger context of the book’s primary themes. Overall, the book has the following three... Continue Reading →
