The Book of the Acts of the Apostles is written by Luke, and is more or less, a continuation of his Gospel account. In this book, he attempts to enlighten us about the beginnings of the Christian Church, and its gradual spread to nearby and distant lands. His book of Acts chronicles the sudden explosion of missionary activities, led by the Apostle Paul, Barnabas, Silas, and other prominent early Church workers. In Luke's Gospel account, he emphasized the ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT in the life of CHRIST JESUS. However, in the Book of Acts, he emphasizes the role of the HOLY SPIRIT, in the growth and development of the early Christian Church in its infancy.

During the second invasion of Jerusalem(597 B.C.), Nebuchadnezzar deported an even larger group of Judah's upper and middle class citizens to Babylon, and among this group was a young twenty-six year old priest in training named, Ezekiel. This group of Jewish captives was placed in the region of Tel Aviv, along a wide canal that links two branches of the Euphrates known as the Kebar River. There, they were treated more as colonists than slaves and enjoyed many privileges. It was there on the banks of the Kebar River, that, in 593 B.C., a now thirty old Ezekiel received his calling from GOD (Ezekiel 1 & 2). Thirty years old is the minimum age that priests are actually allowed to begin serving in the temple (Numbers 4:1-3). And so, as the LORD would have it, it was from that place, that Ezekiel first served the LORD by delivering his first prophetic message to his fellow captives in Babylon.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: John's Gospel was most likely written sometime between A.D. 85 and 95. His depiction of JESUS is the most theological of the four gospels. He presents to us, a JESUS WHO existed with GOD, and, as GOD, even before the creation of the universe. John's unique style confront's us with an overwhelming necessity to believe on our LORD and SAVIOR. He shows JESUS as the focus of a spiritual struggle between the forces of light and darkness, love and hate, and most of all, life and death. The four Gospels are our primary source of information about JESUS. And while they do not provide us with a biography of HIS life, they do present us with a clear picture of HIS person,and HIS works. It is my hope that these commentaries will help develop a better understanding of this gospel account, and that the reader will be able to make a decision to give their life to CHRIST, and if they already have, hopefully it will help them grow in their Christian walk, so, they too, can win others to CHRIST.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: Long ago GOD spoke many times and in many different ways to our ancestors, through HIS prophets. Today, GOD continues to speak to us through HIS written word, and through the example of JESUS CHRIST, HIS SON. The Book of Hebrews exalts CHRIST, perhaps, more than any other book in the bible. It describes in great detail, the superiority of CHRIST JESUS to everything in the Old Testament, including Moses, the angels, the entire priesthood, and, the old animal sacrificial system. The author of the Book of Hebrews clearly has a superior, SPIRIT led understanding of the perspective that was provided by JESUS, during HIS three-year earthly ministry. This letter to the Hebrews goes a long ways toward developing an understanding regarding the relationship between the interpretation of Old Testament Law, and New Testament faith. Hopefully, my commentaries on this book will help to pass that understanding on to every reader who decides to read it.
