Bible Quote Dec 31st John 16:33

““I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.””
John 16:33
===
John and Peter, of all the disciples had a special relationship with Jesus. Jesus even allowed them time to commune with Elijah and Moses. John writes in a particular style that is also evident in his letters and in Revelations. Earlier, John had written that Jesus was the Word made flesh. That flesh was sacrificed by God, as a gift to those whom God loved, so that God could abide them Because eternal life is close proximity to God. And to perish is to be utterly riven from God.

Here, Jesus assures his disciples of his coming victory

Bible Quote Dec 30th John 14:1-3

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”

Here, Jesus is telling his disciples about what his crucifixion will mean. In verse six he is answering a question to a disciple. The disciple has not understood how Jesus could have, through God, many rooms that he would prepare for them. The explicit answer was that Jesus would be crucified, but come back from the dead, leaving the Holy Spirit for his disciples, and all believers?

Luke is the longest of the four gospels and the longest book in the New Testament; together with Acts of the Apostles it makes up a two-volume work from the same author, called Luke–Acts. The cornerstone of Luke–Acts' theology is "salvation history", the author's understanding that God's purpose is seen in the way he has acted, and will continue to act, in history. It divides the history of first century Christianity into three stages, with the gospel making up the first two of these – the arrival among men of Jesus the Messiah, from his birth to the beginning of his earthly mission in the meeting with John the Baptist followed by his earthly ministry, Passion, death and resurrection (concluding the gospel story per se).

Via Wikipedia "Luke then tells the story of Gabriel's visit to Mary, informing her that she will soon have a virgin conception by God. The account is recorded differently in Matthew 1:20, where an unnamed angel appears to Joseph after he has discovered that Mary is pregnant. Gabriel goes to Nazareth and visits Mary, who Luke tells us is a virgin engaged or betrothed to Joseph. The name Mary means "excellence", while Joseph means "May Yahweh add"" "Paul never mentions a virgin birth for Jesus, but in Romans 1:3–4 speaks of him as the Son of God by virtue of his resurrection, and states he had a more than human nature.

This verse is often misunderstood by Christians. Isaiah is warning king Hezekiah of what will happen to any who do not keep to God's law. But the verse was revised at a later date to say King Ahaz and reflect an earlier time. It is said Hezekiah had been unwilling to test the prophecy, as that would be challenging God. The sign Isaiah offered to Hezekiah was not looked for, but found fruit several hundred years later.
