Maelezo ya Majibu
The words "And I asked them concerning the Jews that survived, who has escaped exile, and concerning Jerusalem..." were spoken by Nehemiah. Nehemiah was a Jewish cupbearer to the Persian king Artaxerxes I. He was concerned about the state of Jerusalem and its walls, which had been destroyed by the Babylonians. In 445 BC, he obtained permission from the king to go to Jerusalem and rebuild the walls. The quote refers to a conversation Nehemiah had with some men who had recently returned from Judah. He asked them about the Jewish survivors and the state of Jerusalem, likely to assess the scope of the task ahead of him. The conversation is recorded in Nehemiah 1:2.

Maelezo ya Majibu
According to Paul, the phrase "As sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness" in Romans 5:21 refers to the power of grace to overcome the power of sin and death. In this passage, Paul is explaining how sin entered the world through Adam's disobedience, and how God's grace came into the world through Jesus Christ's obedience. Paul says that just as sin once had power over all people and led to death, now grace has even greater power through righteousness, or right standing with God, which is obtained through faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, the phrase "As sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to..." is completed by the option "eternal life", which refers to the new life that believers in Jesus Christ receive, a life that is characterized by freedom from sin and the promise of eternal life with God. This eternal life is made possible through the grace of God, which overcomes the power of sin and death.

In spite of Solomon's apostasy, his empire remained intact until his death because
Maelezo ya Majibu
Solomon's empire remained intact until his death in spite of his apostasy because God had offered for David's sake to spare the punishment due to Solomon. Solomon, the son of King David, was known for his wisdom and wealth. However, he also fell into apostasy by marrying many foreign wives who led him astray to worship their gods. This angered God, and He had warned Solomon that He would tear his kingdom apart and leave him with only one tribe because of his disobedience. Despite Solomon's sin, his empire remained intact because of God's promise to David, Solomon's father. God had promised David that his dynasty would continue forever, and because of David's faithfulness to God, God would spare his kingdom from destruction. Therefore, even though Solomon's actions had consequences, God's promise to David allowed his empire to remain intact until his death.

Maelezo ya Majibu
James advised Christians to portray their faith in Jesus by practicalizing their Christian belief. In his epistle, James emphasized the importance of not just hearing the word of God but also putting it into practice. He encouraged Christians to show their faith by their deeds, such as caring for the needy, visiting the sick, and being merciful to others. James believed that faith without works is dead, and that true faith is demonstrated by one's actions. While prayer and fasting are also essential practices for Christians, James emphasized the importance of practical actions in demonstrating one's faith. By living out their faith, Christians can be a witness to others and bring glory to God.

The statement "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me..." was made by the woman of Samaria. This encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman is recorded in John 4:1-42. Jesus was passing through Samaria when He stopped at a well to rest. The woman of Samaria came to draw water from the well, and Jesus asked her for a drink. The woman was surprised that Jesus, a Jew, would speak to her, a Samaritan woman. There was a long-standing hostility between Jews and Samaritans, and Jews typically did not associate with Samaritans. However, Jesus engaged the woman in conversation and revealed to her that He was the Messiah. The woman was so moved by this encounter that she went and told others in her town about Jesus.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The first king of Israel was Saul. Saul was chosen by God to be the first king of Israel, according to the Old Testament of the Bible. He was anointed as king by the prophet Samuel, who poured oil on his head as a sign of his selection by God. Saul's reign as king was not always successful, and he made some mistakes that angered God. For example, he disobeyed God's commands and spared the life of a king he was supposed to destroy. As a result, God rejected him as king and chose David to be his successor. Despite his flaws, Saul played an important role in the history of Israel as its first king. He led the Israelites in battles against their enemies and helped establish a monarchy that would continue for generations to come.

The presentation of Myrrh to Jesus signifies Jesus'
Maelezo ya Majibu
The presentation of myrrh to Jesus signifies Jesus' suffering and impending death. In the New Testament of the Bible, the wise men, also known as the Magi, visited Jesus after his birth, bringing him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Myrrh is a fragrant resin that was often used for embalming the dead. The presentation of myrrh to Jesus is significant because it foreshadows his suffering and impending death. It is believed that the wise men presented myrrh to Jesus as a symbolic gesture, recognizing that he would face great suffering and eventually die. In addition to its use in embalming, myrrh was also used as a pain reliever and to alleviate suffering. Therefore, the gift of myrrh to Jesus can also be seen as a symbol of comfort and support, acknowledging that he would face great trials and offering him the gift of relief from pain. Overall, the presentation of myrrh to Jesus signifies his suffering and impending death, as well as the recognition of his future trials and the offering of comfort and support.

Paul asked the Thessalonians to imitate his action of working for his personal upkeep. In 2 Thessalonians 3:7-9, Paul says, "For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you." In other words, Paul didn't demand support from his converts or eat their food without paying for it. Instead, he worked hard day and night to support himself and not be a burden on the Thessalonians. This was an example of self-sufficiency and personal responsibility that Paul wanted the Thessalonians to emulate.

On Ascension day, two men in white robes appeared to the disciples and informed them that Jesus, who had just ascended into heaven before their eyes, would come again. This event is recorded in the book of Acts, and it marks the end of Jesus' physical presence on earth and the beginning of the disciples' mission to spread the gospel message throughout the world. The two men in white robes were likely angels, and their message was one of hope and encouragement for the disciples.

Maelezo ya Majibu
On the day of Ascension, Jesus promised his disciples the power of the Holy Ghost. This event is recorded in the book of Acts, where Jesus commanded his disciples to stay in Jerusalem until they received the promise of the Father, which was the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Before his ascension, Jesus told his disciples that they would receive power when the Holy Ghost came upon them, and that they would be witnesses for him in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. After Jesus ascended into heaven, the disciples waited in the upper room, praying and fasting, until the Holy Ghost descended upon them on the day of Pentecost. The promise of the Holy Ghost was fulfilled, and the disciples were empowered to preach the gospel message with boldness and perform miracles. The power of the Holy Ghost continues to be available to Christians today, providing comfort, guidance, and strength to live a holy and fruitful life.

Maelezo ya Majibu
James strongly condemned partiality in the Church for all the following reasons except that it accords due respect to the rich who merit it. James argued that showing partiality towards the rich and powerful while ignoring the poor and less fortunate was contrary to Christ's example of humility and a transgression of God's commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves. He stated that faith in Christ should be expressed through impartial love towards all members of the Church, regardless of their social status or wealth. Therefore, James did not suggest that the rich should not be respected, but rather that showing favoritism towards them in the Church is not in harmony with Christian virtue of love.

Paul was stoned and dragged out of the city by Jews from Antioch and Iconium. This event occurred during Paul's first missionary journey to Lystra in the book of Acts. Paul and Barnabas were preaching the gospel message, and a man who had been lame from birth was healed. The people of the city, including some Jews, were amazed and started to worship Paul and Barnabas as gods. However, when the Jews from Antioch and Iconium heard about this, they stirred up the crowd and convinced them to turn against Paul and Barnabas. They stoned Paul, leaving him for dead, and dragged him outside the city. Despite being severely injured, Paul later recovered and continued his missionary work. This event is significant in Christian history because it demonstrates the opposition and persecution that early Christians faced while spreading the gospel message.

The statement "Death is swallowed up in victory, oh death where is your victory?" is found in the book of Corinthians. Specifically, it can be found in 1 Corinthians 15:54. This passage is part of a larger discussion in which Paul is addressing the Corinthians' doubts about the resurrection of the dead.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The Galatians were reminded by Paul that they were Abraham's offspring and heirs according to the promise. In the New Testament of the Bible, the book of Galatians is a letter written by the apostle Paul to the churches in Galatia. Paul had preached to them the gospel of Jesus Christ, but some false teachers had come and were teaching that the Galatians needed to follow the Jewish law and traditions to be saved. In his letter, Paul reminded the Galatians that they were saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and not by their own good works or by following the Jewish law. He also reminded them that they were heirs according to the promise that God had made to Abraham. God had promised Abraham that through his offspring, all nations of the earth would be blessed. Paul explained that this promise was ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who was a descendant of Abraham and who brought salvation to all who believed in him. Therefore, Paul was urging the Galatians to hold fast to their faith in Jesus Christ and not be deceived by false teachings that added requirements to their salvation. He reminded them that they were heirs of the promise made to Abraham, and that this promise was fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

However, they were not considered worthless for failing to attend the places of worship regularly.

On the way to Damascus, Saul was struck by a blinding light and heard the voice of Jesus speaking to him. This experience caused him to realize that he had been wrong about Jesus and that he needed to repent and follow him. Saul was blinded by the light and had to be led into the city by his companions. While in Damascus, he was visited by Ananias, who restored his sight and baptized him. After his conversion, Saul became a fervent follower of Jesus and went on to become one of the most important figures in the early Christian church.

Maelezo ya Majibu
According to Joseph's interpretation to Pharaoh's dreams, the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind represented years of famine. In the book of Genesis in the Bible, Joseph was a young man who had been sold into slavery in Egypt. He was able to interpret dreams and was eventually summoned to interpret Pharaoh's dreams. Pharaoh had dreamed of seven fat cows being devoured by seven skinny cows, and of seven plump ears of grain being consumed by seven thin and blighted ears of grain. Joseph interpreted these dreams as meaning that there would be seven years of abundance, followed by seven years of famine in the land of Egypt. The seven empty ears blighted by the east wind represented the seven years of famine that would follow the seven years of abundance. The east wind was known for its hot and dry nature, which would cause the grain to wither and become useless. Joseph's interpretation led Pharaoh to prepare for the coming famine by storing up grain during the years of abundance. This ultimately saved the people of Egypt from starvation and showed Joseph's wisdom and faithfulness to God.

Maelezo ya Majibu
On Mount Gilboa, king Saul decided to commit suicide in order to avoid being captured and killed by the Philistines. In the Old Testament of the Bible, King Saul was the first king of Israel. However, he disobeyed God and eventually lost his favor. As a result, God chose David to be his successor. In one of the battles against the Philistines, Saul's army was defeated, and his sons were killed. Saul was injured, and he feared being captured and humiliated by the Philistines. Therefore, he asked his armor-bearer to kill him, but the armor-bearer refused. Saul then fell on his own sword, committing suicide. Saul's decision to commit suicide was not because of ridicule from the Philistines, witnessing the death of his sons, or the agony of the injuries received. Rather, he did it to avoid being captured and killed by the enemy.

The words "My son, your sins are forgiven" were spoken by Jesus to a paralytic man. According to the Gospel accounts, the paralytic man was brought to Jesus by some friends who had to lower him through the roof of the house where Jesus was preaching because of the large crowd. Jesus saw their faith and said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are forgiven." This statement was significant because in Jewish culture, illness or disability was often seen as a result of sin. So by forgiving the man's sins, Jesus was also healing him physically and demonstrating His authority as the Son of God. Some religious leaders who were present at the time objected to Jesus' claim to forgive sins, but Jesus responded by healing the paralytic man and proving that He had the power to do both.

Maelezo ya Majibu
God's constant love for unfaithful Israel is demonstrated in the book of Hosea. The book of Hosea is a prophetic book in the Old Testament, written by the prophet Hosea to the people of Israel during a time of great unfaithfulness and idolatry. Hosea's message was one of warning and judgment, but it was also a message of love and hope. In the book, Hosea was instructed by God to marry a prostitute named Gomer, who represented Israel's unfaithfulness to God. Gomer repeatedly left Hosea and returned to her life of prostitution, but Hosea continued to love her and take her back, just as God continued to love Israel despite their unfaithfulness. Through the story of Hosea and Gomer, God showed His constant love and faithfulness to Israel, even in the midst of their sin and rebellion. Hosea's message was a call for Israel to repent and turn back to God, and a reminder of God's unfailing love and mercy towards His people.

During the Transfiguration, Jesus appeared with Moses and Elijah, and they talked about his upcoming death in Jerusalem. Peter, James, and John witnessed this event and were amazed. Peter suggested building three booths, one for each of them, as a way to honor and commemorate the event. However, this suggestion was not accepted, and a voice from a cloud proclaimed that Jesus was the beloved Son of God and that they should listen to him. This event is significant in Christian theology because it reinforces the belief that Jesus is the Son of God and that he has a unique relationship with God the Father.

This statement was Samuel's reaction to Saul's defense of disobedience. In the Old Testament of the Bible, Saul was anointed as the first king of Israel, but he disobeyed God's commands by sparing some of the spoils of war instead of destroying everything as he was instructed to do. When Samuel confronted him about it, Saul defended himself by saying he saved the best animals to sacrifice to God. Samuel then replied with this statement, explaining that obedience to God's commands is more important than making sacrifices or offerings. In other words, it is better to follow God's instructions in the first place than to try to make up for disobedience by offering sacrifices or performing other rituals.

However, with the arrival of Christ and his adoption of believers as his children, the law is no longer necessary as a custodian.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The contest between Elijah and the prophets of Baal took place at Mount Carmel. The story of the contest between Elijah and the prophets of Baal is found in 1 Kings 18 in the Old Testament. The prophets of Baal were false prophets who worshiped a pagan god, and Elijah was a prophet of the Lord God. Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal to a contest to see which God was truly powerful and would answer their prayers. The contest took place at Mount Carmel, a mountain range in Israel. Elijah instructed the prophets of Baal to build an altar and call on their god to send down fire to light the altar, but despite their fervent prayers and rituals, no fire came. Elijah then built an altar to the Lord God and called on Him to send down fire, and immediately, fire came down from heaven and consumed the sacrifice and the altar. The contest at Mount Carmel was a demonstration of the power and glory of the Lord God, and a rebuke to the false worship of the prophets of Baal. It was also a turning point in the history of Israel, as many of the people who witnessed the contest turned back to the worship of the Lord God.

However, Pharaoh initially refused to let them go, and it was only after God sent plagues upon Egypt that Pharaoh relented and allowed the Israelites to leave. But then Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued the Israelites with his army. God parted the waters of the Red Sea and the Israelites were able to escape, but Pharaoh's army was destroyed when the waters closed back up over them.
