Top Highlights
“Man thinks he is so powerful, but God can send an earthquake to undo all that man has done in opposition to God’s work.” (Page 14)
“As by a woman came the first message of death, so by a woman came also the first notice of the resurrection from the dead. And the place also fits well, for in a garden they came both.’” (Page 75)
“There were two separate earthquakes within three days associated with the passion of Christ.” (Page 13)
“The first event chronologically following the resurrection of Jesus Christ which the Gospels record is logically the opening of the tomb from which Christ had already left because of His resurrection. Only Matthew records this event. But it is important that Matthew records the event; for it answers some questions about what the women, the first people to come to the tomb on Easter morning, found when they came to the tomb.” (Page 11)
“So the angel did not roll the stone away to let Christ out—the angel rolled the stone away to let others in. It was an entrance not an exit that the angel was creating.” (Page 21)
John G. Butler, longtime pastor and Bible commentator, is to be commended for his affirmation, alliteration, and application of the biblical text. He provides a treasure chest of biblical truth for the teacher and preacher of the Word of God. I gladly recommend his writings.

I know of no finer collection of resources than Butler. No library is complete without these uncompromising gems of wisdom. After reading the Bible text itself, my next step is always to consult Butler. They are absolutely essential to my Bible study.
