Matthew Chapter 28 – Commentary and Bible Study Reflection Photo by  adrianna geo  on  Unsplash Matthew chapter 28 is short in verses, only 20, but honestly it feels like the entire weight of the Gospel hinges right here. It’s like watching the sunrise after the longest, darkest night. If chapter 27 left us with the heavy silence of the tomb, then 28 comes with movement—stone rolled away, angels appearing, women running with both fear and joy, and then Jesus Himself standing alive again. It’s almost too much to take in one reading. Let me just breathe a moment because whenever I study this chapter, I feel a chill, not the scary kind, but like standing outside early morning when the dew is heavy and the sun just cracks the horizon. You smell the freshness, hear a bird’s first cry, and something inside whispers, This is new, this is different, this is life again. The Dawn of Resurrection (Verses 1–4) The chapter opens like this: “After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first...

Matthew Chapter 27 – A Commentary & Study Reflection Photo by  adrianna geo  on  Unsplash When you reach Matthew chapter 27, you feel like the whole Gospel is rushing to the climax. The betrayal, the trial, the mocking, the cross—it’s all here. To be honest, reading this chapter sometimes feels heavy, almost like carrying a weight on your chest. Maybe it’s supposed to be like that. This is the darkest chapter before the brightest dawn of resurrection. Let’s walk through it step by step. I’ll share commentary, reflections, even little personal thoughts or stories that come to my mind, because Scripture isn’t just for the mind but also for the heart. And yes, sometimes the heart remembers strange details like smells, sounds, or the way silence feels in a courtroom. Judas and His Regret (Verses 1–10) Early morning. The chief priests and elders make their plans. Jesus, already bound, is handed over to Pilate. That word— bound —makes me stop. The One who healed the la...

  Matthew Chapter 26 – A Long Walk Through a Heavy Chapter Photo by  adrianna geo  on  Unsplash Matthew 26 is like the deep breath before the plunge. You know when a storm is about to break, and the air feels thick, and even the birds stop singing for a while? That’s what this chapter feels like. It’s long, it’s heavy, and it’s full of movement—plots being made, meals being eaten, prayers being whispered, swords drawn, betrayals carried out. Reading it feels like walking through the dim hallway before the cross itself. So let’s sit with it. Let’s walk slowly and not rush. Sometimes Scripture is best when we don’t speed-read, but linger, tasting it like strong tea, letting it burn a little in the throat before the comfort comes. Setting the Scene (Verses 1–5) “When Jesus had finished all these sayings…” That’s how Matthew kicks it off. Almost like the final bell. Jesus had been teaching, warning, telling parables about readiness and judgment, and now, the teachin...

Matthew Chapter 25 – A Deep Dive Commentary and Study Blog Photo by  adrianna geo  on  Unsplash Matthew chapter 25 is one of those chapters that feels heavy and almost trembling with seriousness. When you read it slowly, it’s not just a storybook moment, it’s like Jesus leaning in close and saying, “This is it. This is how things will be at the end.” And somehow you feel both the weight and the hope pressed together. Three big sections form the whole chapter—the Parable of the Ten Virgins, the Parable of the Talents, and then the Final Judgment where sheep and goats are separated. I remember the first time I sat down with this chapter. I had a little pocket Bible, pages already dog-eared, and it was one of those hot summer evenings where the fan keeps whirring but doesn’t actually cool anything. The words felt like they came alive, almost warning but also comforting. That’s the strange thing about Matthew 25—it shakes you but also gives you a glimpse of eternity. Let’s...

 Matthew Chapter 24 – Commentary and Study Blog Photo by  adrianna geo  on  Unsplash When you open your Bible and land on Matthew chapter 24, you can almost feel the weight of the words before even reading them all. It’s one of those chapters where Jesus lays out big, heavy truths about the future, about the end times, about watchfulness, and the seriousness of what is coming. And to be honest, every time I read it, I get that same little shiver in my spine. Like standing outside before a storm, the air feels thick, you know thunder is coming, but you don’t know how close it is. That’s Matthew 24. I’m not gonna lie, it’s not the easiest chapter to read. It’s not like the parables of the lost sheep or the sower where you go, “Oh I get that right away.” Nope, this one is layered with prophecy, warnings, signs, and things that Christians have argued about for centuries. Some folks see it as fulfilled in history (like the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70), while others see i...

Matthew Chapter 23 – Commentary and Explanation Bible Study Photo by  adrianna geo  on  Unsplash Matthew 23 is one of those chapters in the gospel where Jesus doesn’t hold back. He speaks with authority, with boldness, with that sharp edge of truth that cuts through pretension. If you’ve ever read it, you probably remember that tone – it’s fiery, it’s passionate, it’s almost like a thunderstorm rolling over a city. And it is directed mostly at the scribes and the Pharisees, the religious leaders of His day, who had turned what should be a living, breathing faith into a performance, a burden, and often a stage to show off. When I read this chapter, honestly, it stings a little. Because it’s not just about Pharisees two thousand years ago. It’s about me, it’s about us, about the human tendency to drift into appearances rather than heart, into rules rather than love, into being seen rather than actually living rightly. Jesus’ words are harsh, yes, but also strangely freein...

  Matthew Chapter 22 – Commentary and Explanation Bible Study Photo by  adrianna geo  on  Unsplash Matthew chapter 22 is one of those chapters where you feel like Jesus is standing in the middle of a storm, you know, people questioning Him from all sides, traps being set, and He answering with such wisdom that you almost have to sit back and say, wow. Sometimes when I read it I can picture the sound of the crowd murmuring, sandals scraping against the temple courtyard floor, the smell of dust and maybe roasted lamb from nearby homes drifting through, while the religious leaders tighten their robes and whisper with each other. It’s a chapter loaded with parables, challenges, confrontations, and finally a profound question from Jesus Himself that turns the tables on everybody else. Let’s walk through it bit by bit, but in a way that feels like we’re sitting together, maybe with some tea (I drink mine with ginger, though last time I made it too strong and it nearly b...
