OOPS OF THE DAY ~ APRIL 6

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

While Simon of Cyrene carried Jesus’ cross, Jesus walked along with him.

Mark  15:22 – Mark 14:65  –   15:16-19

Fact of the Day

No!  He seems to have collapsed after that.  He had just been beaten by fists of the priests.  Then soldiers beat him on his head and whip lashed his back so much, it was now pure raw meat.  Then the soldiers brought Jesus to Golgotha.  The word “brought” in Greek is “carried” such as “carried a bowl”.  Jesus was so weak, they had to carry him up the hill and keep him alive long enough to kill him.

SURPRISE OF THE DAY ~ APRIL 3

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Surprise of the Day

In 30 AD, the man carrying a pitcher of water who showed the apostles the upper room for Jesus’ last supper, could have been a Gibeonite.

Mark 14:12-16  – Joshua 9:1-27

Fact of the Day

Around 1500 BC, Joshua was punishing the pagans (who lived in their “promised land” before the Jews did) for worshipping idols and practicing human sacrifice.  Some Amorite tribesmen (the Gibeonites) tricked him, so instead of being killed, were made water carrier slaves forever.

OOPS OF THE DAY ~ APRIL 4

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

Jesus’ agony in the  Garden of Gethsemane was the only time Jesus agonized as much as he did.

Mark 14:33  –  Hebrews 5:7

Fact of the Day

No!  His whole life Jesus begged God with “loud cries” to not have to go through with his death.  (The Greek in Mark for “distress” is “horror”.)

SURPRISE OF THE DAY ~ March 31

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Surprise of the Day

The Creator re-created a man’s eyes?

John 1:1-4; 14  –  Matthew 15:30 – Matthew 8:2-3 – John 9:6

Fact of the Day

This man was born blind.  God made man from clay.  Jesus was the Creator (John 1:2).

Jesus healed the maimed, that meant he made arms and legs grow back. When Jesus healed leprosy, that meant he made healthy skin grow back.

When he formed the clay for the man’s eyes, was he making eyeballs for him?  Anophthalmia is a disease where a person is born without eyeballs.  About 1 in every 5,200 babies is born with this.
