- I Am Barabbas – “As Jesus is delivered to death, and Barabbas is released to new life, we have the first substitution of the cross. The innocent Jesus is condemned as a sinner, while the guilty sinner is released as if innocent.” A poignant post for this Good Friday.
- The Resurrection of Jesus as a Historical Event – Gary Habernas writes “No hypothesis has yet been able to viably explain the resurrection testimony in natural terms…..The evidence for Jesus’ resurrection appearances is defensible and very compelling, and it stands as the best indicator of the believer’s own future resurrection.”
- Go To Dark Gethsemane – We often forget the heaviness and darkness of that night in Gethsemane. Kevin DeYoung reminds us of the anguish that was there.
- The Neglected Resurrection – In sharing the Gospel, many Christians stop at Jesus’ death on the cross. This post exhorts us to remember the importance of the resurrection – both in justification and sanctification.
- Stupid Wait Time – God doesn’t always fulfill His promises or His plans immediately. Sometimes we must wait. And in waiting we often learn a lot.
- Remain Grateful – An short reminder that we are quick to lose gratitude for the very things that we once rejoiced at receiving. Instead, we should practice staying thankful.
- Jesus as the Author of our Faith – What does it mean when Hebrews describes Jesus as the author of our faith? This post from Desiring God tackles this question.
- The Creator on His Knees – A beautiful post about what happened on Maundy Thursday and how it was a parable of what would come.
- Praying Past Preferred Outcomes – Our prayer lives are often punctuated by requests for the outcomes we have already determined would be beneficial. What if we let Scripture guide how we prayed instead? (H/T)
