John THE PEOPLE’S BIBLE COMMENTARY - TELL US PLAINLY
by BRF - Richard A. Burridge
TELL US PLAINLY The words of the good shepherd once more cause a ‘division’ among “the Jews” (10:19). Again we have the word for schism, which happened first to the people and then the leaders (7:43; 9:16). And so this division sums up so many attitudes throughout the first half

Parallel Lives of Jesus - 6c Characterizational Emphases
by SPCK - Edward Adams
Characterizational Emphases The Fourth Evangelist lays emphasis on the heavenly character of Jesus. Jesus has come from heaven and will return to it (e.g., 3:13, 31; 6:33). He is “from above”; he is “not of this world” (8:23). Jesus comes across as a more detached and other-world

Where's the justice? Where's the justice?
by Avis Palmer
Where's the justice? Where's the justice? Often we in anguish cry. When death comes so unexpected, Then our questions start with "why?" Why do children have to suffer? Why do dear ones die in pain? When goodbye is never spoken, What's the cost and where's the gain? Verses 2-3 fol

WEEK 4 Care The story of the Caring Samaritan Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. ‘Teacher,’ he said, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him, ‘What is written in the law? What do you read there?’ He answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all you

The Triumphant Reign of Grace ROMANS 5.18-21 God has done it; God will do it. That is the message of this dramatic little passage, summing up the whole story of the letter so far. That might sound strange, since the word ‘God’ doesn’t occur in these verses. But what Paul has done
