Good morning. So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him. When they were hanging on the cross, people would have to push up with their legs in order to breathe. Why did the Romans allow that? Because they wanted to prolong the suffering. If they just wanted to kill them, they would’ve done so already. With their legs broken, they would’ve eventually suffocated. But coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. One of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. My Bible says that this was the result of the spear piercing the sac that surrounds the heart and the heart itself. And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he’s telling the truth, so that you also may believe. Most likely this was John since he was there at the cross with the mother of Jesus, and the fact that he was reluctant to name himself in his gospel. For these things came to pass to fulfill the scripture, not a bone of Him shall be broken. And another, they shall look on Him whom they pierced. The Passover lamb was supposed to be without any broken bones; so our Passover Lamb, Jesus, was also to be without broken bone. This brings us to what I consider to be the most important reason why I think that the last supper was not the Passover meal. If the Last Supper were the Passover meal, then Jesus, our Passover Lamb, was sacrificed 24 hours after the Passover lambs were sacrificed. Father help the reader to get everything done that he/she needs to so that he/she can have a week free to do whatever he/she likes.

Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God

  Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed

  Good morning. We left John at the entrance of the tomb, stooping and looking in. “Shy” Peter then arrives following John, and enters the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there. So the other disciple, John, who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. It does not say whether or not Peter believed. For as yet they did not understand the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again to their own homes. I’m not exactly sure what it means by their own homes. They were originally from Galilee and would not have had homes in Jerusalem. Perhaps it means the homes where they were staying while in Jerusalem. Apparently, they were not staying in the upper room, or it would have said so. But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped (just like John) and looked into the tomb. She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been l...
