Thy Kingdom Come - Harmony of the Gospels, Vol II - New Testament Commentaries Earl Cripe

D. Earl Cripe, Ph. D (1934-2011) held firmly to Historic Orthodox Christian Theology that the Bible is the only guide to the faith and practice of the Church. Towards that end during his more than forty-seven years of ministry he penned numerous volumes of expository Bible commentaries. In them he takes the reader verse-by-verse through the chosen book of the Bible, explaining the original meanings and intentions along with the applications to the life of the serious believer of Christ in simple language that anyone can grasp. They are essential reading for the serious Christian looking to further their understanding of the Holy Scriptures. This volume is part 2 of our 6-part verse-by-verse study of the four Gospels of Matthew, Makr, Luke and John. In this volume, we follow Jesus from His baptism in the Jordan to the Wilderness Temptations. On His return, John identifies Him as The Lamb of God. In this second book some of the most dramatic and consequential days in Jesus' life take place. Nothing is more tense or vital to our lives and futures than the remarkable Wilderness Temptations. It is a scene so bizarre that if we were not told it by the Holy Scriptures we would never believe it. All we can do is stand on the sidelines, watch, listen, and be amazed at what went on in those forty days. With the possible exception of the Crucifixion itself, there is nothing to compare to this in all the literature that has been written in the history of creation. This second volume will take us to the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount.
