I hope I put this in the right place..... I need some help with scripture. Let me start by saing I am a christian and have been for 8 years and I have studied quite a bit scripture for my short walk. I was very much enjoying Easter sermon and today during my quiet time I wanted to compare the scipts to see how the line up, like I did at christmas time. Well I have hit a snag that is bothering me so much. Please if anyone can enlighten me it will save me doubts. Even if the Lord never turns a light on in this area of scripture I wil still not turn my back to Him. But I would like some help from my mature christian friends. I seek godly counsel.

Why is Matthew 27 so different from John 20? Please do not give opinions, I would much preferre scripture. Thanks.....

Because they reference completely different parts of the story. John 20 picks up where Matthew 27 leaves off. There's nothing inherently contradictory. Perhaps this is a typo?

God Bless!

No John 20 doesnt pick up where matthew 27 left off...John 20:1 says she arrived when the stone was already rolled away and the tomb empty. Matthew 27 has her present when the angel roled it away and speaks to her from atop the stone. John has her there inside the tomb when 2 angels speak to her. Both accounts have her talking to Jesus but they have different feels to them. John has her speaking to him as if he is the gardener and matthew has her speaking to him as her Lord and worships. The response from Jesus is different in both language and tone....I am just not convinced it is picking up where the other left off.

You're referring to Matthew 28... hence my confusion. Sorry. Anyway, part of the reason for the difference in tone can be attributed to the fact that both accounts are second-hand. Neither Matthew nor John was present when Jesus spoke with Mary, so they had to rely on her story, and then relate it as well as they were able.

As for the first part, the bible doesn't actually say that the stone rolled away in Mary's presence. It says they were on their way to the tomb... then it cuts to the tomb itself where there is an earthquake and thestone rolls away. This is simply a matter of linguistics more than anything else. Matthew is explaining what happened -- why Mary saw what she saw, and why she was able to have the conversation. Kind of like when a movie cuts away from the main characters, or when a radio show announcer says, "meanwhile, back at the ranch..."

Does this help:

1Cr 15:52 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.

Ok well that does help a little, I had just assumed from the way it was written that mary was present for the earthquake.

This page also helped shed some light on this a little, I am less confused than I was..

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
