Can you imagine how they felt when they realized Jesus had risen
from the dead? Suddenly hope came alive; now everything He
had said was validated as truth. They had not believed a lie. His
victory over death was the acid test that forever sealed their sure
conviction that He was the Messiah. We commemorate Jesus’ death on
the cross with solemnity, but the resurrection calls for thunderous
applause, praise, and song. All the blessings that come our way through
the Savior’s cross are confirmed by the resurrection. It proved that the
Father was satisfied with the Son’s payment for our sins also it revelas a
marvellous Good news to the Human kind that the Truth will not be
Buried. Now we can know that our transgressions are forgiven and
we’re eternally secure.
Jesus promises that we too will be resurrected and given new
bodies. Physical death could not hold Him, nor will it overpower us.
Because He overcame the grave, His followers have the same kind of
life He has—eternal and indestructible. It's hard to understand what
our resurrection bodies will be like, so Paul will use contrast to help us,
giving four contrasts between our present body and our future
resurrection body. On all counts, the resurrection body wins! (1Cor
15:42-44)
• Incorruption triumphs over corruption
• Glory triumphs over dishonor
• Power triumphs over weakne
• Spiritual triumphs over natural
He was buried: We don't often think of the burial of Jesus as part of
the gospel, but it is. The burial of Jesus is important for many reasons. It
is proof positive that He really died, because you don't bury someone
unless they are really dead, and Jesus' death was confirmed at the cross
before He was taken down to be buried (John 19:31-37). Jesus' burial is
also important because it fulfilled the Scriptures which declared, And
they made His grave with the wicked; but with the rich at His death
(Isaiah 53:9). Jesus was buried in the tomb of a rich man (Matthew
27:57-60).
What else more, the rulers of this world wanted to burry the TRUTH
but they failed completely and it’s proved the resurrection of Jesus
Christ in the history and in humanity. Lets have the unshakable faith on
Jesus Christ that the truth what we have in Him will not be buried and it
will be raised up one day.
As Christians, we have the right to celebrate Easter with great
rejoicing. Because of this event, our lives have been forever changed.
We’ve been transformed and given new life. With unwavering faith, we
trust the Bible because Christ’s power over the grave proves He can and
will fulfill every word.
He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the
place where he lay. — Matthew 28:6

8:32).
Vice President Hamid Hansari
today said (The Times of India: PTI Aug
17 2013) at the Golden Jubilee of
Ecumenical Christian Centre and Birth
Centenary of its Founder-Director Late
Rev. Dr. M.A. Thomas in Bangalore,
“following Jesus Christ's teachings
could eliminate war and conflict in the
world, thereby help establish durable
peace.”
Ansari also said as the human
folly continues to propel people
towards hate and conflict in many parts
of the world. Jesus' eternal message of
love and compassion shows people the
path to redemption. His commendation
continues as the Christian Community
in India was noted for its work in the
field of education, public health,
charitable services and social activities
to uplift of the down-trodden, the poor
and needy.
He reiterates that ”I am myself
a product of a school run by Irish
Brother in Shimla and of a college run
by Jesuits in Kolkata.” Finally he
concluded his speech saying that the
people of India can never forget the
services rendered by the Christian
Community in the field of education,
public health, charitable services and
social activities to uplift of the down-
trodden, the poor and needy.
Dear friends, Need not bury,
but history can't be played behind the
screen even.
Neither the Roman power nor
the sealed and secured tomb could
contain the body of the poor
Carpenter's Son Jesus Christ and stop
His resurrection from death. That is
the reason why notable Scholar and
Philosopher and the first President of
Republic India Dr. Radha krishanan
said that “Faith and Experience make
the religion and in that aspect John
the Baptist was a Reformer and Jesus
Christ was a Regenerator.
Charles M. Schulz, world
famous Cartoonist in 20th Cent., for
that matter, still a strong witness. He
was sidelined in the school, thrown
away by Golf Team and after great
struggle in life became an artist but
his pictures were not accepted by
Walt Disney and to fuel his agony his
beloved mother also passed away. In
spite of continued failures, he didn't
give up, but started going to Church
thrice in a week. He was adorned
with the regenerating power of
Christ. He was celebrated around the
globe for his cartoon for children –
“Peanuts.” Later on his book titled
as, “The Gospel according to
Peanuts,” published in 1965 was
widely read and blessed.
I am Kalimuthu, named after
goddess Durga, also one among the
millions who testify the world around
that my faith in Jesus Christ has
liberated me from the clutches of sin
and the bondage of darkness. While I
do declare my newness of life in
Jesus am doubly sure whether rulers
or powers, principalities and
authorities can challenge my
standing because it is an undeniable
fact and a truth which can't be buried.
The writer of Hebrews in
New Testament put this fact very
interestingly that, “Therefore, since
we are surrounded by such a great
cloud of witnesses, let us throw off
everything that hinders and the sin
that so easily entangles, and let us
run with perseverance the race

we have no Christianity. It is the
resurrection that makes the Christian
religion different from any other
religion. Some portray Jesus still on
the cross, but He's not there any
more; He's alive in His resurrected
body! Hallelujah!
1 Corinthians 15:16-23: "For if
the dead rise not, then is not Christ
raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised,
your faith is vain; ye are yet in your
sins. 18 Then they also which are
fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in
Christ, we are of all men most
miserable. But now is Christ risen
from the dead, and become the
firstfruits of them that slept. For since
by man came death, by man came
also the resurrection of the dead. For
as in Adam all die, even so in Christ
shall all be made alive. But every man
in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his
coming."
THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST
DECLARED FOUR THINGS:
Acts 2:32-36 says, Jesus is Lord and
Christ because of the resurrection.
Romans 1:1-4 declared, Him to be
the Son of God with power.
Ephesians 1:19-23 says, Jesus is
the Head of the Church.
John 11:25 says, He is the
Resurrection and the Life.
Only one has ever been
resurrected thus far, Jesus Christ.
Because Jesus overcame the grave,
this resurrection is now available to
every one of His followers. It is not the
same thing as being raised from the
dead. This is an eternal resurrection.
Luke 24:1-7, " Now upon the first day
of the week, very early in the morning,
they came unto the sepulchre,
bringing the spices which they had
prepared, and certain others with
them. And they found the stone rolled
away from the sepulchre. And they
entered in, and found not the body of
the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass,
as they were much perplexed
thereabout, behold, two men stood by
them in shining garments: And as
they were afraid, and bowed down
their faces to the earth, they said unto
them, Why seek ye the living among
the dead? He is not here, but is risen:
We often think of the cross as
the end, but without the resurrection,
His exemplary life-style was the talk of the town. He
always had a kind word to say to those hurting, He always was
moved with compassion at the plight of the sick and needy, He
was filled with love for children who thronged to Him, He did not
tick off women with dubious character; He was quintessential
good!
He did good to others, but was treated badly in return. He
gave hope to others but the situation seemed hopeless, He was
the embodiment of justice but He was denied justice, He made
others' burden light, but He was tasked with a Cross, He was full
of Life and now He was dead!
Dead! Stone Dead! They ensured He was dead by
piercing His side and lo! He was indeed dead. The Sun had
set. The era of hope seemed to have made its exit. The Light
of Life seemed to be darkened. The hope of glory lay still;
dead. They buried His body and a Z category security
commissioned to secure His body.
Time ticked by. Bipasha's silence was broken. The truth
surfaced. John and Bipasha were no more together. The
break-up was for real. Page 3 had a rollicking time slicing
and dicing the story from multiple angles; Truth could not be
hidden.
Three days had gone-by since they buried Him. On that
Sunday morning the gloom and despair that was rife was sliced
through. He who was dead and buried could not be contained! The
break-up that separated Him from His Father, thanks to our sins
saw a break-through in Him defeating death and rising to life! Yes!
He is alive! He is alive! The Son of Man is alive as He had foretold.
Truth can not be buried!
Is your life broken up? Are you wallowing in self pity? Do
you see no hope? Are you tired of the lies that you have been fed by
the media and the social system? Does life seem dark and bleak?
He can break through your break-ups!

APRIL-MAY-JUNE 201506 COVER STORY
Jesus is the only man that ever came back to life
from the grave. Every religion in the world outside
of Christianity has a grave or tomb where their
leader is buried. Only in the Bible is recorded the tomb
that was found empty because Christ rose from the dead
and is alive today!
He did good to others, but was treated
badly in return. He gave hope to others but
the situation seemed hopeless, He was the
embodiment of justice but He was
denied justice, He made others' burden light,
but He was tasked with a Cross,
He was full of Life and now He was dead!

away from the sepulchre. And they
entered in, and found not the body of
the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass,
as they were much perplexed
thereabout, behold, two men stood by
them in shining garments: And as
they were afraid, and bowed down
their faces to the earth, they said unto
them, Why seek ye the living among
the dead? He is not here, but is risen:
We often think of the cross as
the end, but without the resurrection,
His exemplary life-style was the talk of the town. He
always had a kind word to say to those hurting, He always was
moved with compassion at the plight of the sick and needy, He
was filled with love for children who thronged to Him, He did not
tick off women with dubious character; He was quintessential
good!
He did good to others, but was treated badly in return. He
gave hope to others but the situation seemed hopeless, He was
the embodiment of justice but He was denied justice, He made
others' burden light, but He was tasked with a Cross, He was full
of Life and now He was dead!
Dead! Stone Dead! They ensured He was dead by
piercing His side and lo! He was indeed dead. The Sun had
set. The era of hope seemed to have made its exit. The Light
of Life seemed to be darkened. The hope of glory lay still;
dead. They buried His body and a Z category security
commissioned to secure His body.
Time ticked by. Bipasha's silence was broken. The truth
surfaced. John and Bipasha were no more together. The
break-up was for real. Page 3 had a rollicking time slicing
and dicing the story from multiple angles; Truth could not be
hidden.
Three days had gone-by since they buried Him. On that
Sunday morning the gloom and despair that was rife was sliced
through. He who was dead and buried could not be contained! The
break-up that separated Him from His Father, thanks to our sins
saw a break-through in Him defeating death and rising to life! Yes!
He is alive! He is alive! The Son of Man is alive as He had foretold.
Truth can not be buried!
Is your life broken up? Are you wallowing in self pity? Do
you see no hope? Are you tired of the lies that you have been fed by
the media and the social system? Does life seem dark and bleak?
He can break through your break-ups!

APRIL-MAY-JUNE 201506 COVER STORY
Jesus is the only man that ever came back to life
from the grave. Every religion in the world outside
of Christianity has a grave or tomb where their
leader is buried. Only in the Bible is recorded the tomb
that was found empty because Christ rose from the dead
and is alive today!
He did good to others, but was treated
badly in return. He gave hope to others but
the situation seemed hopeless, He was the
embodiment of justice but He was
denied justice, He made others' burden light,
but He was tasked with a Cross,
He was full of Life and now He was dead!

Some people, such as Lazarus (John
11), were raised from the dead but not
resurrected (as they eventually died
again). There have been many
documented cases of people dying
and coming back to life. Though this is
glorious, the resurrection to eternal
life with Christ is different; it is the
final state of those who have trusted
in Christ.
Revelation 1:18: "I am he that
liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I
am alive for evermore, Amen; and
have the keys of hell and of death."
Jesus spoke these words also
in John 5:24, "Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come
into condemnation; but is passed
from death unto life.
Death of the body is not
anything that the Christian should
ever fear. If we are in Christ when our
body dies, we will face an existence
that will make our time on earth seem
pale and shadowy. Some Christians
will even escape death if they are
alive at the second coming of Jesus to
the earth. In that day, those that are
alive will receive their glorified
bodies right after the dead in Christ
are raised and receive theirs. That day
is approaching quickly and that is why
the Lord is warning all of us to be
ready. The hope of the church is the
resurrection.
1 Corinthians 15:51-57:
"Behold, I show you a mystery; We
shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed, 52 In a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed...and this
mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory. 55 O death,
where is thy sting? O grave, where is
thy victory?... 57 But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ."
HEAVENLY BODIESWhat are some of the things
that those who have been redeemed
can expect to find in our next life?
Philippians 3:20-21 says
Jesus will change our "vile"bodies.
What will our glorified bodies look
like when we get to heaven? We have
s o m e c l u e s b y n o t i n g t h e
characteristics that Jesus' body had
when He rose from the grave. Our
glorified bodies will appear different.
We will therefore recognize each
other by the spirit. What we really
look like on the inside will be
apparent to all. Jesus' body could go
through walls (John 20:26).It felt like
ours; Thomas touched it (Luke 24:39-
40). On the road to Emmaus, the
disciples didn't recognize His new
body and He vanished in front of them
(Luke 24:13-32). Jesus even ate with
His disciples. In our glorified bodies,
we don't have to eat for sustenance,
but we will be able to eat for pleasure
(Luke 24:39-43; Matthew 26:29). It
will have no pain, no sickness, no
aging, no restrictions (with the power
of translation), and be able to appear
in different forms.
All of this is just the tip of the
iceberg, of what God has prepared for
those He loves. Surely there is
nothing in this life that can hold a
candle to the surpassing greatness of
living in Christ-living in the very One
who is the source of all life! How
foolish we are to let the cares of this
life, the god of unbelief, and the
temporary pleasures of sin keep us
from knowing Him.
DEATH OF THE BODY IS
NOT ANYTHING THAT
THE CHRISTIAN SHOULD
EVER FEAR.
IF WE ARE IN CHRIST
WHEN OUR BODY DIES,
WE WILL FACE AN EXISTENCE
THAT WILL MAKE OUR TIME
ON EARTH SEEM PALE AND
SHADOWY.
ALL OF THIS IS JUST
THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, OF
WHAT GOD HAS PREPARED
FOR THOSE HE LOVES.
SURELY THERE IS NOTHING
IN THIS LIFE THAT CAN HOLD
A CANDLE TO THE
SURPASSING GREATNESS
OF LIVING IN CHRIST-LIVING
IN THE VERY ONE WHO IS
THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE!
VICTORY IN THE CROSSW h e n w e c e l e b r a t e
Resurrection Day (Easter), we
acknowledge that we are sinners,
saved by grace. The greatest truth of
the cross is that when we accept
Christ as our savior, a wonderful
exchange takes place. Jesus died so
we could live. We can now live in
victory in this earth. As we identify
with His death, we also identify with
His life. Jesus became poor so we
could become rich in His blessings. 2
Corinthians 8:9 says,"For ye know the
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
though he was rich, yet for your sakes
he became poor, that ye through his
poverty might be rich." He took our
sickness and infirmities so we could
receive health. He took our curses so
we might receive His blessings. He
gave us peace for anxiety; love for
hate; joy for sorrow; faith for fear;
goodness for evil; temperance for lust
and the list could go on. He took our
hell and gave us heaven. We didn't
deserve it but He did it for us because
of His love for each of us!!
The Easter holiday is the most
triumphant celebration of grace and
life that we will ever experience on
this earth! It is a celebration of God's
goodness, love, and His awesome
power. It holds the promise of not only
eternal life to all who are willing to
humbly receive it from Him; but also
for a victorious life in this earth
through the power of His Holy Spirit.
We can spend eternity in our
heavenly home with Jesus and all the
saints of all the ages if we receive this
wonderful gift of love!
Romans 10:9-13 says, "That if
thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him from
the dead, thou shalt be saved. For
with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever
believeth on him shall not be
ashamed. For there is no difference
between the Jew and the Greek: for
the same Lord over all is rich unto all
that call upon him. For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved."
Proverbs 12:28: "In the way of
righteousness is life; and in the
pathway thereof there is no death.”
IT IS A CELEBRATION OF GOD'S GOODNESS, LOVE AND HIS

irline pilots do this on every flight. They
set their course. If they are going to go
from London to Berlin. They file a flight Aplan. Once they set their course, they know they
will only go to Berlin. However, if you don’t have
a course, you will land in any city that looks
enticing. But if you set your mind and your flight
plan, then you are not tempted to land in Paris or
Amsterdam.
In life, if you don’t know where you are
going, any road will be tempting. Probably you
may have had tried many roads only to see the
dead ends. The important thing to take note here
is that God has set our course of destiny – our
flight plan before we came to being in this
world. So, if any one of us see ourselves in front
of a signboard showing dead end, it is very clear
DO YOU HAVE a flight plan?
Peter could become
a compassionate
apostle only after
he had blundered and
fallen into the sin of
denying the Lord three
times. It was certainly not
God's perfect will for Peter
to sin like that; but yet we
see that God allowed it in
order to do a work in Peter.
It made him tender and
sympathetic towards those who had
failed in life. Jesus never sinned even
once, and yet He was infinitely
compassionate and merciful towards
sinners. But with the rest of Adam's
race, that has not been the case.
Those who have never fallen into
gross sin usually end up being hard
and unmerciful and haughty towards
sinners.
W h e n w e l o o k a t t h e
circumstances through which Peter
fell into this gross sin, we see that
God could have easily prevented him
from even facing the temptation to
deny the Lord.
Yet God chose not to protect him
from those moments of temptation.
In John 18:15-18, we see that
John and Peter followed Jesus to the
court of the high priest. Since John
knew the high priest, the doorkeeper
let him in. But Peter could not go in. So
John came and spoke to the
doorkeeper and gained admission for
Peter too. That looked like a good
thing at that moment.
But notice the fact that Peter
would not have sinned that night if
John had not got Peter into that
courtyard - for it was only inside there
that Peter was questioned, and that
he denied the Lord three times (See
John 18:17,25,27).
So, we could ask the question,
"Why did God allow that to happen?
Why didn't He prevent Peter from
gaining entry into the courtyard? Was
that a mistake on God's part?”
No. God, in His sovereignty,
permitted John to get Peter inside, so
that Peter could get an education
through his failure. He could not have
become the leader of the apostles
and the leading evangelist of the
ear ly church without having
completed this course in his
education.
Satan had his agents ready to
tempt Peter, but he had to get
God's permission to do that. But
Jesus was praying for Peter that
his faith would not fail in that
m o m e n t o f u t t e r f a i l u r e
(Lk.22:31,32) ; and Jesus' prayer
was answered. Peter came out of
t h a t e x p e r i e n c e a b r o k e n ,
compassionate man. Never again in
his life would he be able to denounce
sinners with harshness.
Every time he was tempted to do
that, he would remember his own
f a i l u r e a n d t o n e d o w n h i s
denunciation.

God can make the very worst things that ever happened in
your life to work for your very best, if you have faith.
During the seven weeks before Pentecost, Peter may
have wished many times that John had not gotten permission
for him to enter the courtyard that fateful night, so that he
would not have denied the Lord. But then, he would not have
been broken either, and he would have been unfit to preach the
gospel to sinners on the day of Pentecost.
We know that Peter still preached against sin, for he
writes in his letter about following in Jesus' steps "who did no
sin", and of "ceasing from sin" (1 Pet.2:2,22; 4:1,2). But now, he
preached with compassion. This was why he was given the
privilege to open the door of the gospel to the Jews on the day
of Pentecost, and also to the Gentiles in the house of Cornelius.
God could have used James or John in either of those
instances. But he didn't.
He used Peter - the one who had failed miserably - for he
could speak with greater compassion to wayward sinners than
those others.
David was another one like Peter. Once when he avoided
going to the battlefield through laziness, he slipped up badly
and fell into sin - a sin that became like a black mark against
him for the rest of his life and for centuries thereafter (2
Sam.11:1-5)
. The Holy Spirit records, "David did what was right in the
sight of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that
He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the case of
Uriah the Hittite." (1 Kings 15:5).
Yet God used David's failure to break him and to make him
write Psalm 51 - a portion of inspired Scripture that has
blessed millions for many centuries, more than any other
writing of David's.
David could never have written that psalm if he had fallen
into a lesser sin.
His failure had to be great and deep and known publicly, so
that he might be thoroughly humbled and broken. He was a
broken man for the rest of his life.
And Jesus calls Himself the Son of David!!
FIRST MISSIONARY
CONFERENCE OF KYM It was an amazing gathering and fellowship with our
missionaries on Feb 3, 4 & 5 at Khandala. All three days
we could enjoy the leading of Holy Spirit in every minutes
of the camp by spending prayer time and meditating the
scripture. Annan Paul Abraham from GEMS missionary
organization delivered the messages with his ministry
experiences which he is doing at Varanasi in UP. Rev.
Muthukumar from Nerul (Navi Mumbai) Methodist Church
had helped us in conducting the communion service for
our missionaries and it was a wonderful time to renew our
commitment through his sermon. Our Treasurer Mr.
Samson Raj had taught about accountability on mission in
every ministry life. He also encouraged our missionaries

Yet God used David's
failure to break him
and to make him write
Psalm 51 - a portion of
inspired Scripture that
has blessed millions
for many centuries,
more than any other
writing of David's.

APRIL-MAY-JUNE 201512 SPIRITUAL CHALLENGE
God can make the very worst things that ever happened in
your life to work for your very best, if you have faith.
During the seven weeks before Pentecost, Peter may
have wished many times that John had not gotten permission
for him to enter the courtyard that fateful night, so that he
would not have denied the Lord. But then, he would not have
been broken either, and he would have been unfit to preach the
gospel to sinners on the day of Pentecost.
We know that Peter still preached against sin, for he
writes in his letter about following in Jesus' steps "who did no
sin", and of "ceasing from sin" (1 Pet.2:2,22; 4:1,2). But now, he
preached with compassion. This was why he was given the
privilege to open the door of the gospel to the Jews on the day
of Pentecost, and also to the Gentiles in the house of Cornelius.
God could have used James or John in either of those
instances. But he didn't.
He used Peter - the one who had failed miserably - for he
could speak with greater compassion to wayward sinners than
those others.
David was another one like Peter. Once when he avoided
going to the battlefield through laziness, he slipped up badly
and fell into sin - a sin that became like a black mark against
him for the rest of his life and for centuries thereafter (2
Sam.11:1-5)
. The Holy Spirit records, "David did what was right in the
sight of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that
He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the case of
Uriah the Hittite." (1 Kings 15:5).
Yet God used David's failure to break him and to make him
write Psalm 51 - a portion of inspired Scripture that has
blessed millions for many centuries, more than any other
writing of David's.
David could never have written that psalm if he had fallen
into a lesser sin.
His failure had to be great and deep and known publicly, so
that he might be thoroughly humbled and broken. He was a
broken man for the rest of his life.
And Jesus calls Himself the Son of David!!
FIRST MISSIONARY
CONFERENCE OF KYM It was an amazing gathering and fellowship with our
missionaries on Feb 3, 4 & 5 at Khandala. All three days
we could enjoy the leading of Holy Spirit in every minutes
of the camp by spending prayer time and meditating the
scripture. Annan Paul Abraham from GEMS missionary
organization delivered the messages with his ministry
experiences which he is doing at Varanasi in UP. Rev.
Muthukumar from Nerul (Navi Mumbai) Methodist Church
had helped us in conducting the communion service for
our missionaries and it was a wonderful time to renew our
commitment through his sermon. Our Treasurer Mr.
Samson Raj had taught about accountability on mission in
every ministry life. He also encouraged our missionaries

or provide in-depth teaching. It is merely a resource
center for factual information on the Bible. Many of Tthese questions have been addressed in various locations
throughout our website; however, as many people do not
have the time to comb through the entire website to find
the answers they are looking for, we have compiled the
following list. Please submit further questions (of this
sort) to [email protected]. We will not be able to
answer you directly, but will continue to develop this site,
as we receive additional questions about the Bible. Don't
forget to read our teaching on Bible History, for a more in-
depth study.
1. How many books are in the Bible?
The Bible contains 66 books, divided among the Old
and New Testaments.
2. How many books are in the Old Testament?
There are 39 books in the Old Testament.
3. How many books are in the New Testament?
There are 27 books in the New Testament.
4. What does "testament" mean?
Testament means "covenant" or "contract."
5. Who wrote the Bible?
The Bible was written under the inspiration of the
Holy Spirit by over 40 different authors from all
walks of life: shepherds, farmers, tent-makers,
physicians, fishermen, priests, philosophers and
kings. Despite these differences in occupation and
the span of years it took to write it, the Bible is an
extremely cohesive and unified book.
JESUS HAD A LOT
TO SAY ABOUT WORRY.He came into an unstable
and unpredictable world. He lived in
an agricultural society where one
summer’s drought could wipe out
crops for the winter. He hung out
with fishermen, who might fish all
night long and catch nothing to sell
or bring home to family. And Jesus
knew the human heart and the
temptations presented by the cares
of this life. So he gave his disciples
some excellent instruction on worry
in Matthew 6.
“Therefore I tell you, do
not be anxious about your life,
what you will eat or what you
will drink, nor about your body,
what you will put on. Is not life
more than food, and the body
more than clothing? (25)
First, Jesus says God gave
us our human life and our bodies
without us even asking. Human life
and our physical bodies are
incredibly valuable. Our life is much
more valuable than the food
we put on the table; our body far
more valuable than the shirt we put
on. If God gave us life, which is so
very valuable, will he not give us
food, which is of far lesser value? If
God gave us these bodies which are
fearfully and wonderfully made, will
he not give us clothes to cover
them? And even further, if God has
given us eternal life, will he not
provide for our temporal life?
Look at the birds of the
air: they neither sow nor reap
nor gather into barns, and yet
your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not of more value
than they? (26)
Jesus reminds us that God
faithfully provides for dumb animals.
Birds don’t sow or reap or store their
food in barns—and they don’t fret
about whether they’ll have enough
for tomorrow or to get through the
winter. Yet God feeds them. And
Jesus tells us that humans, the
crown of God’s creation, the only
creatures made in God’s image, are
of much more value than
birds. If God provides for birds, then
surely he’ll provide for those he
made in his own image.
Furthermore, will not God especially
provide for those he bought with the
blood of his Son?
And which of you by
being anxious can add a single
hour to his span of life? (27)
Worry does absolutely no good. It
won’t bring in money, food, or
clothing. Worry only has negative
results: it chokes the word of God
and distracts us from God. It is
unbelief, the opposite of faith. And
it leads to more fear and anxiety.
And the different scenarios we play
out in our minds can’t prevent a
single thing from happening. And
besides that, most of the things we
spend so much time fretting about
won’t happen anyway.
TO SUM UP:• Your life and body are far more
valuable than any food you eat or
clothing you wear. If God gave
you life and fearfully created your
body, he’ll provide food for that
life and covering for that body.
• God provides for birds who don’t
know enough to plant, reap, and
store up for winter. Humans
created in God’s image are far
more valuable than birds, so he
will certainly provide for us.
• Worry can’t do a thing. It won’t
bring in a penny. It can’t put a
crust of bread on the table or add
5 minutes to our lives.
So don’t worry, trust your

5. Who wrote the Bible?
The Bible was written under the inspiration of the
Holy Spirit by over 40 different authors from all
walks of life: shepherds, farmers, tent-makers,
physicians, fishermen, priests, philosophers and
kings. Despite these differences in occupation and
the span of years it took to write it, the Bible is an
extremely cohesive and unified book.
JESUS HAD A LOT
TO SAY ABOUT WORRY.He came into an unstable
and unpredictable world. He lived in
an agricultural society where one
summer’s drought could wipe out
crops for the winter. He hung out
with fishermen, who might fish all
night long and catch nothing to sell
or bring home to family. And Jesus
knew the human heart and the
temptations presented by the cares
of this life. So he gave his disciples
some excellent instruction on worry
in Matthew 6.
“Therefore I tell you, do
not be anxious about your life,
what you will eat or what you
will drink, nor about your body,
what you will put on. Is not life
more than food, and the body
more than clothing? (25)
First, Jesus says God gave
us our human life and our bodies
without us even asking. Human life
and our physical bodies are
incredibly valuable. Our life is much
more valuable than the food
we put on the table; our body far
more valuable than the shirt we put
on. If God gave us life, which is so
very valuable, will he not give us
food, which is of far lesser value? If
God gave us these bodies which are
fearfully and wonderfully made, will
he not give us clothes to cover
them? And even further, if God has
given us eternal life, will he not
provide for our temporal life?
Look at the birds of the
air: they neither sow nor reap
nor gather into barns, and yet
your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not of more value
than they? (26)
Jesus reminds us that God
faithfully provides for dumb animals.
Birds don’t sow or reap or store their
food in barns—and they don’t fret
about whether they’ll have enough
for tomorrow or to get through the
winter. Yet God feeds them. And
Jesus tells us that humans, the
crown of God’s creation, the only
creatures made in God’s image, are
of much more value than
birds. If God provides for birds, then
surely he’ll provide for those he
made in his own image.
Furthermore, will not God especially
provide for those he bought with the
blood of his Son?
And which of you by
being anxious can add a single
hour to his span of life? (27)
Worry does absolutely no good. It
won’t bring in money, food, or
clothing. Worry only has negative
results: it chokes the word of God
and distracts us from God. It is
unbelief, the opposite of faith. And
it leads to more fear and anxiety.
And the different scenarios we play
out in our minds can’t prevent a
single thing from happening. And
besides that, most of the things we
spend so much time fretting about
won’t happen anyway.
TO SUM UP:• Your life and body are far more
valuable than any food you eat or
clothing you wear. If God gave
you life and fearfully created your
body, he’ll provide food for that
life and covering for that body.
• God provides for birds who don’t
know enough to plant, reap, and
store up for winter. Humans
created in God’s image are far
more valuable than birds, so he
will certainly provide for us.
• Worry can’t do a thing. It won’t
bring in a penny. It can’t put a
crust of bread on the table or add
5 minutes to our lives.
So don’t worry, trust your

The Codex Vaticanus, which dates from the first half
of the fourth Century. It is located in the library of
the Vatican in Rome. There are older fragments of

found in Egypt, dating back to the beginning of the

translated into?
The Holy Bible has been translated into 2,018
languages, with countless more partial translations,

(This is an enormous amount of translations. In

the master writer of the English language, has only
been translated into 50 languages.)
