Following Jewish custom, Mary and Joseph took the twelve-year-old Jesus to the Feast of the Passover in Jerusalem. When they started home, they assumed Jesus was with their relatives-but Jesus had actually stayed behind in His Father's house. As Alistair Begg explains, Jesus' understanding of the Old Testament and of His own messiahship governed His decision. This glimpse into Jesus' boyhood underscores His full divinity and humanity as the Son of God and Son of Man who came to bear our sins.

October 31, 2022: The Gospel Is the Power of God

What does it mean to love one's neighbor- Luke 10 records how Jesus answered this question with a story about a Samaritan who helped a robbed and injured man. Alistair Begg reminds us that while the unexpected and sacrificial actions of the Samaritan are not presented as the way to life, they are nevertheless, for those who trust in Christ, evidence that we have truly been born again. Only by the power of the Holy Spirit can believers truly love our neighbor as ourselves.

The Great Commandment — Part Two

When Jesus issued the Great Commandment-to love the Lord with all your heart, mind, and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself-He wasn't reducing the Ten Commandments to two. Rather, He was teaching that all of God's law hangs on those two concerns. Alistair Begg walks us through the role of the law in the believer's life, explaining that when the Holy Spirit fills our hearts with God's love, then we'll follow His rules-not to receive rewards or avoid penalties but because we love Him.
