This document provides commentary on the Parable of the Ten Virgins from Matthew 25. It discusses the symbolism and cultural context of the parable. Key points:
- The 10 virgins represent the church awaiting Christ's return. Their lamps symbolize their faith and profession of faith.
- In Jewish wedding customs, the bridegroom would come at night for his bride, accompanied by friends with lamps. Other women with lamps would go out to meet and welcome him.
- The parable teaches about being ready for Christ's return through true faith, not just outward profession. It warns believers to keep their faith fueled by God's grace so they are not shut out when He comes.
Jesus asks his disciples who people say he is and who they say he is. Peter answers that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God. Jesus blesses Peter and says this revelation came from God, not from human reasoning.

The power and glory of Christ as the revelation of GodGLENN PEASE
"He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." —
John 14 : 9.
All the ages have
more clearly endeavored to define the mean-
ing of these words; and, notwithstanding the
criticism of philosophy and the opposition of
secular and worldly thought, the relationship
of Jesus Christ to the Father in a unity of
nature altogether unique and transcendent
has been and is growingly the mightiest moral
and spiritual power ever manifested in the
history of mankind.
God created humanity, both male and female, in God's image. Some argue this implies hierarchical gender roles, but the text's focus is on equality and mutual responsibility between men and women. Marriage should reflect the equal, mutual, and reciprocal relationship between the Son, Spirit, and Father, with husband and wife becoming one flesh as Christ and the church are one.
The document contains the text of the Lord's Prayer along with summaries of biblical passages about gender roles and patriarchy. It discusses concepts like toxic masculinity, gender complementarianism vs egalitarianism, and the gender binary vs intersex people. It asks for personal experiences and questions about gender expectations and how patriarchy has impacted people. It concludes with the Jesus Creed about loving God and others.
1) Jesus Christ is at the center of Christianity. He existed eternally as God but also became truly human through being born of the virgin Mary.
2) As fully God and fully human, Jesus lived a sinless life and perfectly revealed God's character through miracles and teachings. He died voluntarily on the cross to pay for humanity's sins and was resurrected.
3) Jesus now ministers as our priest in heaven and will return as king to fully deliver believers and restore creation. His dual nature and roles as prophet, priest and king are essential to Christianity's core beliefs about who Jesus is and his mission to reconcile humanity to God.

24th March 2017 - The Old testament, New testament and GodThorn Group Pvt Ltd
God's nature does not change between the Old and New Testaments. While some see God as wrathful in the Old Testament and loving in the New, readings from both show God's wrath against sin and love for humanity. God deals with sinful people through judgment, discipline, and mercy in both. The Bible reveals God's loving plan to redeem humanity through Jesus, promised in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New. Both Testaments work together to teach God's unchanging character and the path to salvation.
The document is a letter from the Huldah Ministry addressing brothers and sisters in Christ. It discusses the superiority of Christ over angels as presented in the book of Hebrews in the New Testament. The letter examines arguments for who authored Hebrews, concluding that evidence strongly supports Paul as the author. Key points include that Hebrews uses the same concluding salutation as Paul's letters and that 2 Peter refers to a letter by Paul that can only be Hebrews.
1) The document discusses theories of creation, focusing on the "gap theory" and "six-day theory".
2) It analyzes biblical passages in Exodus and Nehemiah that reference God creating heaven and earth in six days, finding they support a six-day creation rather than two distinct creation events.
3) Scientific evidence for an old earth and universe is acknowledged but criticized for relying on assumptions like constant decay rates that may not be valid, bringing estimated ages into question. Evidence for a young earth based on the decaying magnetic field and problems with carbon-14 dating is presented instead.
This document summarizes research into common forms of daily distraction. It discusses how participants responded more slowly to tasks when distractions like cartoon images were presented, showing people have difficulty ignoring irrelevant stimuli. While some may think those prone to mind wandering would be less distracted, the research found those who reported more mind wandering were actually more slowed down by external distractions. The document concludes by mentioning further research is examining why distraction occurs and how it can be reduced.

The document discusses the key aspects of discipleship according to Jesus' teachings in Luke. It summarizes that true discipleship requires total allegiance to Christ, denying oneself, taking up one's cross daily, and following Jesus completely. While difficult, disciples find strength and guidance from God through submitting their will to Him. The document also examines how Jesus called ordinary people to be His disciples and apostles, equipping them to continue His work, and how He commissioned them to preach and heal through the power of His name.
A verse by verse commentary on Matthew chapter 26 dealing with the plot against Jesus. Jesus is anointed with expensive oil by a woman, and Jesus has to defend her, Judas agrees to betray Jesus. Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper, and predicts that Peter will deny Him. Jesus goes through the agony of Gethsemane as the disciples sleep, Jesus is arrested and is taken before the Sanhedrin for trial while Peter is out in the courtyard denying that he knows Jesus.

Jesus Christ is a central figure of Christianity who taught moral values like brotherhood and benevolence. He performed miracles and taught through parables. Some of his key teachings included the Beatitudes which promised blessings for humility, mercy, and peacemaking. Christianity initially faced persecution in the Roman Empire but eventually gained acceptance and became the official religion under Emperor Theodosius in 380 CE.

This document provides a sermon given by Rev. Dr Ian Ellis-Jones on the topic of the "Anonymous Christ" and the Kingdom of God. Some key points:
1. Jesus came to bring abundant life. The Kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom of love, peace and goodwill for all people.
2. While Jesus was divine, he was not the exclusive God. All people have a divine spark. The Kingdom of God exists internally in our hearts and externally as the unity of all creation.
3. The "Anonymous Christ" refers to encountering Jesus' spirit through serving others in need, as described in Matthew 25. True Christianity is following Jesus' example of serving others.
Jesus was the sender of the gospel to allGLENN PEASE
This is a study of the Great Commission of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark with comparisons with other texts. Jesus sent his disciples into all the world to bring the good news of salvation.
The document discusses how Jesus used and taught from the Scriptures (Old Testament). It provides examples of how Jesus overcame temptation by quoting Scripture, explained His mission using Scripture, and taught the disciples on the road to Emmaus from the Scriptures about Himself. The document emphasizes that Jesus and the early disciples relied on the authority of Scripture in their preaching and teaching, and that we too should use the Bible to show salvation to others.
Jesus sends out the twelve disciples in pairs to preach, teach, and perform miracles. He gives them authority over unclean spirits. They go out and preach repentance while casting out demons and healing the sick. Meanwhile, King Herod hears reports of Jesus' works and fears that John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. Herod had John arrested and executed because of Herodias. Herod's daughter dances and pleases Herod, so he promises her anything she wants, and she asks for John's head. It is delivered to her. The disciples return and report to Jesus, who then takes them away to rest.
This is a study of Jesus pleading with Paul, called Saul at the time. A great light shown above and the voice of Jesus pleaded with him as to why he was persecuting Him.
This document provides an overview of Jesus' life and ministry based on passages from Mark 1:9-20 and other biblical sources. It discusses Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist, his temptation in the wilderness, his preaching and calling of disciples in Galilee. It also analyzes Jesus as a rabbi figure, comparing his teachings and authority to rabbis of his time. The summary focuses on key events and comparisons:
Jesus was baptized by John and spent 40 days in the wilderness being tempted by Satan. He then began preaching and calling disciples like Simon, Andrew, James and John to follow him. The document analyzes Jesus as a rabbi who taught with authority, using techniques like parables and
Homily: 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Cycle AJames Knipper
“Many are invited, but few are chosen” is unfortunately one of the most misread, misunderstood and misused phrases in the Bible. Then again, so is the parable of the Wedding Banquet where the King acts with anger and vengeance on those who refuse his invitation to come to the wedding.
So what is the meaning hidden within this parable and how can we really look at what seems to be a line of exclusion at the end of the Gospel? Check it all out…
This is a study of Jesus telling Satan to get lost. Satan tried to get Jesus to worship him, but Jesus said go away, scram, get out of here, for worship is only for God.
Mark 6:7-32 describes Jesus sending the twelve disciples out in pairs to preach, teach, heal, and cast out demons. Their ministry is met with both acceptance and rejection in various towns. King Herod hears reports of Jesus' ministry and believes Jesus is John the Baptist resurrected. Herod had previously beheaded John for condemning Herod's marriage. The disciples return to Jesus and report on their mission. Jesus takes them away to rest, as large crowds were demanding their attention.
1) Jesus exhibited many characteristics of a first century rabbi, including traveling with disciples, teaching in synagogues, using interpretive techniques on scripture, and having authority to make new interpretations. 2) His disciples were considered talmidim, committed students who followed Jesus in order to learn from Him and become like Him. 3) Being a talmid meant total devotion to the rabbi in order to imitate their actions, understand scripture as they did, and eventually go out and teach others as the rabbi did.
1) Jesus promised his disciples that whoever believes in him will do even greater things than what Jesus did, by the power of the Holy Spirit, until Jesus' second coming.
2) Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as the "Advocate" or "Counselor" that would come after Jesus and live in his followers, instructing them.
3) Jesus taught that obedience to his commands through love is essential for receiving the promises of the Holy Spirit. Believers must not add to or ignore parts of Jesus' teachings.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

LETTER TO THE
BROTHERS AND
SISTERS IN CHRIST
【 ALREADY AND NOT YET 】
It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus
knew that the time had come for him to leave this
world and go to the Father. Having loved his own
who were in the world, he now showed them the full
extent of his love. The evening meal was being
served…he got up from the meal, took off his outer
clothing, and wrapped a towel round his waist. After
that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash
his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was
wrapped round him…When he had finished washing
their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his
place. “Do you understand what I have done for
you?” he asked them. “You call me ‘Teacher’ and
‘Lord’, and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that
I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you
also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an
example that you should do as I have done for you. I
tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his
master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who
sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be
blessed if you do them. JOHN 13:1-17.
“ Suppose one of you had a servant ploughing or
looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant
when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now
and sit down to eat’? Would he not rather say,
‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on
me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and
drink’? Would he thank the servant because he did
what he was told to do? So you also, when you have
done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We
are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
LUKE17:7-10.

lamps burning, like men waiting for their master to

the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he
comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table
and will come and wait on them. LUKE 12:35-37.
As we approach the most spiritually significant season of the year, Easter, our hearts are
naturally drawn to the Passion of Jesus Christ –His self-giving ministry; suffering, death, burial and
resurrection.
Jesus’ ministry on earth reached a turning-point after Peter correctly identified Christ’s deity in a
pagan region around Caesarea Philippi. After that incident, Jesus began to share His shocking and
extraordinary mission of suffering and death, heading for Jerusalem with His core disciples: ‘he must go
to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law,
and (that) he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life’ (matt.16:21). Jesus explained that the
nature of His mission was not to be a political/religious/national Messiah but to be a suffering servant to
give His life for others. It was exactly what was prophesied by the prophet Isaiah: ‘See, my servant will
act wisely…He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. …
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows…he was pierced for our transgressions, he
was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his
wounds we are healed…by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear
their iniquities...For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors’ (Isa.52:13-
53:12). Jesus’ disciples might have been shocked by such a statement of their master and by His teaching
about the cost of discipleship. His teaching seemed very hard for them: ‘If anyone would come after me,
he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose
it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it’ (matt.16:24-25).
Christ’s teaching on discipleship reveals a revolutionary dimension of action, in which while the
invitation for entry into the kingdom of God is a free gift, Jesus then turns to His disciples to teach them
the lesson of living a self-denying life. He elaborates on the meaning of true leadership through personal
demonstrations. One of the examples was the washing of His disciples’ feet, which was quoted at the
beginning of this letter. His demonstration must have brought the significance of humility home to them
because His action of washing their feet would have taken place probably during the meal. There must
have been no voluntary servants present at the time and consequently, the disciples had unwittingly
started eating without feet-washing. The impact of His radical action must have made an unexpected,
deep impression upon the disciples. Concerning leadership, what Jesus taught through His own action
was completely different from secular ideals. At least, He would have expected His disciples to learn to
give and not to count the cost and also, to serve one another with a heart of love. In other words, it meant
to learn to deny themselves and then follow Him wholeheartedly, which Jesus had already, occasionally
taught them, so that such actions would be a part of their nature: ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over
them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be
like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the
one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one
who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves’ (Lk.22:25-27).
The other passage quoted at the beginning is one of Jesus’ parables, which teaches about true
servant-hood. This “parable of the unworthy servants” was taught His disciples somewhere on the way
to Jerusalem, passing through the borders of Samaria and Galilee. The term ‘servant’ or ‘servants’ in the
parable usually speaks of bond-slaves, i.e., love-slaves who chose not to be let free after a six year
servitude to his master because of his love to him. Christ’s true followers are expected to be such bond-
slaves of Him. Under such a condition, their whole-beings, having been bought with a price, are not their
own any longer but Christ’s. Also, their total obedience to Christ is unquestioning. The servant is always
obliged to be there to do thankless tasks for his master, the master comes first in everything. This
servant’s sincere and selfless attitude is a focal point of what was meant by Christ in the following
teachings; ‘ask first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as
well,’ and ‘no-one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the
kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal
life’ (Lk.18:29-30). This teaching requires from Jesus’ followers a wholehearted obedience and humility
2
3. to genuinely serve Him. Regarding these requirements, all Jesus’ disciples would have fallen short of
them because they would sometimes shamelessly argue about the greatest among them and at other times
they sought the best position in the coming kingdom. They could not get rid of the idea that those who
were obedient to Him would without doubt be merited some privilege such as place, position, status, role,
recognition, approval and favour in the worldly sense. However, Christ’s disciples are simply required to
fulfil their obligation to do God’s will with a pure and self-denying motive and with a heart of love.
This seemingly contradicting parable of selfless servitude with Jesus’ other teaching of “rewards”,
however, is not to end here but can be coupled on to the other “parable of the watchful servant”,
quoted at the beginning. This parable was spoken to His disciples as well as to others who might have
been there. Jesus taught this in the context of the warning about keeping awake applicable to all
generations, but above all, especially to the last generation immediately before the Lord’s second coming.
The Lord’s servants should expectantly be waiting for His coming by being always watchful. Christ’s
coming is often paralleled to that of a thief in the night, so that not only the unwatching and unready
secular world but also even believers if they are unwatchful and unfaithful to the Lord their master, would
be found sleeping. Sleepiness is the opposite to watchfulness (being alert, vigilant and attentive). In the
New Testament, the Roman division of four watches of the night; 9 p.m., 12 midnight, 3 a.m., 6 a.m. is
assumed to be used and the Lord’s servants are warned to be responsible to be watching and waiting in
their allocated watch and role, so that they will be ready to open the door to Him. However, this short
parable contains a significant facet of the coming glorious kingdom, where Jesus amazingly promised that
it would be He Himself that dresses to serve as a servant and waits on them. When He returns and finds
His disciples awake and ready, then He will make them sit down at the table and He Himself will serve
them. In other words, those who wholeheartedly served Christ will then in turn be served by Him, their
Lord. It is the time when His faithful followers will be rewarded for their individual service.
Through these two parables, Jesus taught an “already and not yet” factor of the kingdom of God.
As the former “parable of the unworthy servants” which is set in more of an earthly context, depicts,
so the Lord’s followers are not to expect any recognition or praise from Him on this side of the grave on
earth. However, in the coming kingdom, they would fully and appropriately be rewarded and given
commendation, as the latter “parable of the watchful servant” which is set in a heavenly context or
more precisely speaking, otherworldly earthly setting, depicts. The main point of this parable is about the
importance of keeping awake. Such servants that would keep awake at all times for their master’s return
with readiness to welcome him and to let him in will be welcomed and entertained by the master. On the
contrary, if the servants fall asleep, they will be found unprepared for their master. This parable speaks of
three important messages concerning the Lord’s return. First, it speaks of the responsibility of His
disciples as His closely related servants to represent Christ during His absence. Secondly, there is some
information hinted that the Lord is going away, and leaving His disciples behind long enough for some of
them to be tempted to fall asleep. When He comes back, the kingdom of God that Jesus brought in on
earth in His first coming will ultimately be consummated. Thirdly, the consummated kingdom of God will
be utterly different from the present one, in that the master himself serves his servants, which Jesus
demonstrated Himself by washing the disciples’ feet at the last supper. Consequently, this “antithesis” of
worldly pattern of leadership, “the master is also servant” well reflects Christ as both a suffering
servant and victorious King over the earth. This is the very model of Christian service for each individual
as well.
It was His immediate disciples, Peter and John that obediently followed the pattern of Christ, their
master after His death. Peter’s two epistles reveal how he advocated the way of self-denial and servant-
hood as taught by Christ. In the following teaching, Peter well comprehends what he has learnt through
apprenticeship under Christ: ‘Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to
those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if a man
bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. But how is it to your credit
if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you
endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you,
leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.’ John who along with James son of Zebedee
was given the name ‘Boanerges,’ which meant “Sons of Thunder”, became great advocator of love.
‘Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who believes Jesus is the
3
4. Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves his child as well. This is how we know
that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. This is love for God:
to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes
the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the
world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God’ (1Jn.5:1-5). The apostle James, a half-
brother of Jesus Christ, encouraged persecuted Christians by teaching the resultant reward in the end,
ultimate victory over the present perseverance, and exceeding cost of discipleship for the present: ‘Be
patient, then brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its
valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.
Don’t grumble against each other, brothers or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the
door! ...As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s
perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and
mercy’ (james5:7-11).
In early Christianity there was a predominance of the path of self-giving life so as to remain in union
with Christ to the end, even to death. Paul is the one who explored the solemn meaning of union with
Christ both in death and resurrection. All followers of Christ are called to share in His death and
resurrection through the baptismal life, which lie at the heart of the Christian life. When Paul argued the
“doctrine of sanctification” (the process by which believers grow to maturity in Christ), he drew baptism
as a result of believers’ union with Christ through faith and he amplified that unless they were united with
Christ in His death, Christians would not be united with Him in His resurrection. Accordingly, although
Christ made the victory possible over self-centredness and selfish humanity on our behalf when He died
on the cross, we shall not enjoy the victory as our own unless we are willing to die to ourselves first, i.e.,
having ourselves dead to the temptations that drive us back to self-centred and sinful life, and then
confidently depend on Him alone who completely dealt with our sin. If we are determined to
unconditionally surrender to the Lord as His bond-slaves on daily and hourly basis, and to continually
yield the whole parts of our body to His use, then sin will no longer reign or dominate in our lives. To put
it differently, for true believers who are enjoying this regenerated life, it is essential to first die with
Christ and then to be raised with Him, i.e., to daily share His dying and rising life. Paul put it in Romans
6, ‘We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was
raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been
united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For
we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that
we should no longer be slaves to sin…offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from
death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.’
Self-giving Christian life is characterised by several ways; forgiving others, seeking to please the
Lord in everything, practising upon the Word of God, putting others as well as the Lord first. However,
the reality which surrounds us in this present age seems to be the opposite of the Lord’s teaching of self-
denial. The sweeping movement in Christianity is dominantly of growth- and success-oriented
truimphalism, which claims for now what belongs to the otherworldly-earthly kingdom that is to be
embodied in Jerusalem as a restored Davidic kingdom under the kingship of the Jewish Messiah. The
present fashionable “Faith” gospel emphasises too much on what effectively appeals to the secular world;
miracles, healing, deliverance, prosperity, victorious living, church growth, praise and joy by the power
of the Holy Spirit, rather than the suffering, pain and the cross-bearing of the Christian life. Such
movement is spreading powerfully worldwide because of its acceptability by many, that is, because it
appropriately suits man’s desires and appeals to their senses. Success, prosperity, quick and easy
solutions, spiritual experience and superiority, direct divine revelation, “heaven now” happiness, positive
confession producing triumph and so on, all these heretic elements appeal to hedonistic, self-centred and
power- and fantasy- hungry carnal man.
We are reminded that although we believers in Christ were freed from God’s wrath, from sin,
from law and from death through Christ’s once and for all sacrificial death on the cross, we are still in the
midst of the eschatological tension–the “already” and the “not yet” –being delivered but still failing
and daily facing the consequences of our sinful nature. This struggle will continue until the time of
consummation which will be inaugurated by the Lord’s second coming, as long as we are bound to our
4
5. present physical bodies. Lest we should fall into unbiblical extremism, exaggeration and emotional
experimentalism, we should firmly be guarded within the written God’s Word alone.
