If You Had Known on This Day — A Turning Point in Jerusalem

by

There are moments in Scripture that feel like hinges upon which history turns, and Luke’s account of our Lord’s approach to Jerusalem is surely one of them. The scene appears triumphant. The crowds are rejoicing, garments are laid upon the road, and the disciples proclaim, “‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!’” (Luke 19:38; cf. Psalm 118:26). Yet as Jesus draws near and sees the city, He weeps. His lament is not merely personal sorrow; it carries judicial weight. “‘If you had known… especially in this your day… But now they are hidden from your eyes.’”

From Courtroom to Throne Room

by

aken together, these two visions speak with one voice. In the courtroom we are acquitted — no condemnation. In the throne room we are welcomed — no separation. Grace has set the verdict in our favour and torn the veil before our eyes. We live under a new jurisdiction and within the unveiled Presence, clothed in Christ, praying with confidence, assured of being heard.

They are clothed in gold, lifted by Christ Himself, carried by angels into the presence of the Almighty. And so we pray with confidence, knowing that in Him our prayers are holy, fragrant, and sure to be heard.

The Salt Covenant

by

The salt covenant is more than seasoning—it is a sign of eternal friendship. From Abraham’s table to the Levitical priesthood, and from incense offerings to the words of Jesus, Scripture invites us into a covenant deeper than duty. This article explores what it means to move from servant to friend in God’s eternal design.

Grace and The Ark of The Covenant

by

What does the Ark of the Covenant teach us about grace? By examining the materials, contents, and the blood-covered mercy seat, John reveals a powerful gospel message: every accusation against us is shut inside the ark, under the blood. What God sees now is not our sin, but the righteousness of His Son.

The Apple of God’s Eye

The Apple of God’s Eye
Today I learned something about the “apple of God’s eye”. This is another fine example of colloquial Hebrew being translated into colloquial English and thereby missing the depth of meaning and beauty contained in the original language.
