CSB much better than NIV on John 19:31
It was the day of Preparation and:
NIV ...the next day was to be a special Sabbath
CSB: ...that Sabbath was a special day [footnote: lit. great]
Klink's commentary: "this truly was the great day"... not "Good Friday" but "Great Friday"

Spurgeon on Jesus' words "It is finished"
“What “it” was it that was finished? It is the biggest “it” that ever was. Turn it over and you will see that it will grow, and grow, and grow, and grow, till it fills the whole earth.”

Frederick Dale Bruner on Pilate's inscription - "King of the Jews" - in Aramaic, Latin and Greek:
"The cross is international the moment Jesus mounts it."

Today's the day I learnt that "in our behalf" is a phrase in its own right, and has a meaning distinct from "on our behalf"
in behalf of = to the benefit of someone
on behalf of - in the place or/representing someone.
So, happily, the Lord works on our behalf in our behalf.

Augustine on Jesus' arrest in John 18
They, verily, in their mad rage, sought for Him to put Him to death; but He, too, in giving Himself to death, was seeking for us.

Christianity is by far the most scattered, spread, globally distributed major world religion. That is a powerful apologetic pointing to our global, polyphonic, universal creator God.

Crawley survives the first over! (Unfortunately for England, Duckett does not, edging his first ball to Labuschagne in the slips, and Mitchell Starc strikes in the first over for the third innings in succession: England 5 for 1.)

John Chrysostom marvelling at God's love for mankind:
"He, the immortal, who is without beginning, the infinite majesty; they but dust and ashes, full of ten thousand sins, who, ungrateful, have at all times offended Him: and these He loved."

@AJWTheology am halfway (still deep in the diagnosis section and haven't got to the prescription yet), but it's brilliantly written, perceptive, eclectic, funny & introducing me to a bunch of 20th century writing I'd not heard of. Not persuaded by everything but glad he's in the conversation.

Madly, within minutes of reassuring the house that the government will implement assisted suicide, Keir Starmer spoke of the tragedy of suicide in relation to men's mental health and Ed Davey's question spoke of it again in relation to regulating gambling, with everyone nodding.

Will the govt no longer guarantee the bill can be made safe? March: “If parliament chooses to pass this bill, the govt will implement it in a way that is safe and practicable.” Today: “Govt [will] make sure any legislation…is workable, is effective and of course enforceable.”
