Melchizedek, the King of Salem, is a mysterious figure in the Old Testament whom Abraham met and even paid tithes to.  The question is: why is this king mentioned in the book of Hebrews in connection with the high priestly ministry of Christ in heaven?  Who is Melchizedek?  www.gatheredfragments.com ..read more

Unique from all the other gospels, John reaches back beyond Christ’s baptism at Jordan, and beyond even His birth in Bethlehem, to the very beginning.

From this incredible chapter, we gain a knowledge of the divine origin of Christ, His great condescension to humanity, and His reception by those He came to save ..read more

After 3 years of no rain, the prophet Elijah stood alone before King Ahab and 850 prophets of Baal with one deciding test. Could Baal bring fire down from heaven? This grand challenge--a high point in Elijah's life--would prove to all who was the true God. But what other lessons are contained within this story? What symbols are there to be found? What is the 'Elijah message'? www.gatheredfragments.com hello@gatheredfragments.com ..read more

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the writers of the Bible harmonise perfectly in their description of the Messiah. Central to this common description is the attribute of divinity; inherent only to the Father and to His Anointed One. In some of these prophecies, Christ's relation to the Father is further underlined as being "the only begotten of the Father", whose origin is from the days of eternity.  Yet what makes the divinity of Christ so important? And how are we to reckon Christ's divine Sonship with His birth in Bethlehem as the Son of man? www.gatheredfragments.com hello@gath ..read more

Poor, humble, and mighty. The story of Gideon teaches us the value of unreserved dedication and complete trust. How else could 300 men take out an army that were as “grasshoppers for multitude”? Indeed, there is more to learn from these two chapters of Judges than history alone. Although 32,000 soldiers responded to Gideon’s call, less than 1% remained. This minute army bears a striking parallel to the 11th-hour workers; those whom the Lord calls to finish the gospel work at the very end of time.  The question is: Will your faith pass the test? www.gatheredfragments.com hello@gatheredfra ..read more

The story of Samson is well-known among Christians. Yet upon deeper analysis, this popular account certainly raises some interesting questions. Why did God choose Samson? Why did Samson work against his calling? And why is he mentioned in the faith chapter of Hebrews 11?

Among the most solemn words spoken by Jesus Christ, is the promise: “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:12. The notion that man will judged according to his works, whether they be good or bad, is a common theme throughout Scripture. Although this in no way teaches that we are saved by works, it does prove that faith without works is dead, and that true religion will always be reflected in words and actions. King Solomon, the great apostle Paul, fiery Peter, and the beloved John, each wrote about man’s probationary ..read more
