I just watched. Very helpful, thank you.

I had to look this up. What a wild story!

It's the best.

"Jesus never seemed to be in a hurry. He never ran, he never worried. He met each man and each moment as if the whole of eternity were concentrated in that man in that moment. And it was!"

-- E. Stanley Jones, The Christ of the Mount

If you asked me to draw a bird today, this is what you would get.

As a child, I learned to draw by copying the pictures from the Tom Tom Club album cover.

The fish with this small provision may have been for Peter's eyes only as he got it with a hook instead of a net. This incident was always so puzzling to me, but Carson's commentary helped me out. And I'm undone.

The story of Jesus paying the temple tax in Matt 17 may serve as a bridge between the previous miraculous scenes and the upcoming teaching about being lowly like a child. Jesus just showed himself in dazzling glory at the transfiguration and now he can show his humility in paying a tax.

This is fantastic. Do you share these anywhere?

So sweet! I keep a few ducks around for the sole purpose of making me laugh.

Oh wow, that's wonderful.
I forget where I came across the devotional, but I love seeing it every year in my inbox.

No, I wish!

Thank you for this.

Yes

For the past few times I've taught Hebrews, my exams have simply asked students to summarize the author's argument up to the point we've reached in the semester. I'm grading those this morning and giving thanks for their beautiful reflections on our Great High Priest.
