This verse is parallelled by Luke 6:46, but in Luke the phrasing is directed at the crowd itself, while in Matthew it is against the hypothetical false prophets. [2]This verse states that some of those who claim to be good Christians will be rejected by Jesus if they have not carried out the will of God.
Death came because of what a man did. Rising from the dead also comes because of what a man did. Because of Adam, all people die. So because of Christ, all will be made alive. [260] [261] The kerygma of 1 Corinthians 15:3 states that "Christ died for our sins"-[note 7] The meaning of that kerygma is a matter of debate, and open to multiple ...
Ambrose: The star is the way, and the way is Christ; and according to the mystery of the incarnation, Christ is a star. He is a blazing and a morning-star. Thus where Herod is, the star is not seen; where Christ is, there it is again seen, and points out the way. [4] Saint Remigius: Or, the star figures the grace of God, and Herod the Devil. He ...

The emphatic and repeated "kai autos" ( Gr. for "and he") of Colossians 1:17,18 underline the absolute "pre-eminence" of Christ in the orders of creation and salvation ...
The proclamation of Jesus as Christ is fundamental to Christology and the Confession of Peter, and Jesus's acceptance of the title is a definitive statement for it in the New Testament narrative. [106] While some of this passage may well be authentic, the reference to Jesus as Christ and Son of God is likely to be an addition by Matthew. [107]
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good ...
