Akọwa Nkọwa
Herod was happy to receive Jesus for trial because he was curious to see Jesus perform miracles or signs before him. This is based on Luke 23:8-9 which says, "When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort." However, Jesus did not perform any miracles before Herod and remained silent in his presence.

Akọwa Nkọwa
God's promise to Abraham to inherit the world came through the righteousness of faith. In the book of Genesis, God promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations and that his offspring would inherit the land. Abraham believed God's promise, and his faith was credited to him as righteousness. This means that Abraham was declared righteous in the sight of God because of his faith, not because of his own merit or obedience to the law. Through Abraham's faith, God's promise to him was fulfilled, and his descendants inherited the promised land.

Akọwa Nkọwa
Adam called Eve woman because she was taken out of man. In Genesis 2:23, Adam says, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man." This is a reference to the creation story in Genesis 2, where God creates Eve from Adam's rib while he sleeps. The name "woman" reflects the fact that she was created from man and is of the same nature as him, but also signifies that she is distinct from him as a separate and complementary being.

Akọwa Nkọwa
Paul in his letter to the Romans likened the church to "one body with many members". He was emphasizing the importance of unity and cooperation among Christians in the Church, just as a human body is made up of different parts that work together for the overall health and well-being of the body. Each member of the Church has different gifts and talents, and when these are used together for the common good, the Church can function effectively as a whole. This analogy encourages Christians to work together and appreciate their differences, rather than causing division and discord within the Church.

Akọwa Nkọwa
The complete statement of Ezekiel's teaching on individual responsibility is: "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." This means that every individual is responsible for their own actions and must bear the consequences of those actions. It emphasizes personal accountability and rejects the idea of blaming one's ancestors or others for one's own mistakes or misfortunes. The metaphor of "eating sour grapes" suggests that individuals are responsible for the choices they make and the "teeth set on edge" indicates the bitter consequences of such choices.

When Jesus told the paralytic, "your sins are forgiven," the scribes accused him of blasphemy. Blasphemy is the act of speaking disrespectfully about God or showing contempt for God's authority. In this case, the scribes accused Jesus of claiming to have the power to forgive sins, which they believed was a power reserved only for God. They saw Jesus' statement as an insult to God's authority and a violation of Jewish law.

Akọwa Nkọwa
In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus teaches that "your neighbor" refers to anyone who needs your help, regardless of their background or relationship with you. The story tells of a man who was beaten and left for dead on the side of the road.

Through this story, Jesus shows that we should love and serve others, even if they are different from us or if it requires sacrifice on our part. So, to answer the question, "who is your neighbor?", according to the lesson of the parable, your neighbor is anyone who needs your help.

The answer is "being a hearer, not doers." True religion requires action and not just words or listening. While visiting orphans, restraining one's tongue, and keeping oneself unstained from the world are all positive signs of true religion, merely hearing the teachings of religion without putting them into practice is not enough. True religion involves actively applying its principles in one's daily life.
