Matthew 5: Upside Down Thinking

Last updated on: January 7, 2011 at 3:51 pm By Dillon Burroughs

I felt I could not write down the opening words of Matthew 5 quickly enough! Known as the Beatitudes, these verses share the perspective of Jesus regarding those who are blessed. The list, however, does not include what we would expect among those considered blessed. The nine kinds of people called “blessed” here by Jesus are: 1. The poor in spirit 2. Those who mourn 3. The meek 4. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness 5. The merciful 6.... Read more

Matthew 4: “Come, Follow Me…”

Last updated on: January 6, 2011 at 3:43 pm By Dillon Burroughs

Jesus never messed around with words. When Satan tempted him, Jesus responded with Scripture (He especially liked Deuteronomy). When Jesus was ready to gather disciples, he walked up to people and said, “Come, follow me.” Interestingly, four of the first disciples were fishermen from Capernaum in Northern Israel. He chose common laborers rather than the religious elite. In fact, much of Matthew’s Gospel reveals Jesus blasting the religious leaders of his day while healing, teaching, and performing miracles among everyday... Read more

Matthew 3: Christians Are Trinitarians

Last updated on: January 5, 2011 at 5:34 pm By Dillon Burroughs

I’ve loved the handwritten Bible process so far! Up to Matthew 14, but reflecting on one chapter per day and share today from Matthew 3. Here, for the first time in the New Testament, we spot a picture of what has historically been called the Trinity. Since it is one of the foundational distinctives of Christianity, I thought it would be worth sharing. The specific scenario is the baptism of Jesus. He is baptized by his relative John after a...

Matthew 2: Matthew Likes Prophecy

Last updated on: January 4, 2011 at 2:04 pm By Dillon Burroughs

“You’re doing what?” Yes, I’m handwriting the New Testament. That’s 260 chapters, 7,957 verses from the NIV. Looking at Matthew 2 that I completed this week, two interesting observations stand out. First, Matthew really likes to makes connections with Jewish prophecy. He makes three such comments in this chapter. The first two come from Micah and Jeremiah. The third, about Jesus being called a Nazarene, is just confusing. It is not from a direct quotation from the Old Testament, but... Read more

Matthew 1: Welcome to Holy Writ!

Last updated on: January 7, 2014 at 12:34 pm By Dillon Burroughs

Welcome to Holy Writ! What’s Holy Writ? Simply put, this blog is my journey with you to personally copy the Bible by hand. From the time the New Testament was completed approximately 1,900 years ago, devoted scribes copied the New Testament manuscripts by hand, generation after generation, until the invention of Guttenberg’s printing press in the 1400s. Still today, over 5,800 copies or portions exist in Greek, over 10,000 in Latin, and over 1,000 in other ancient languages (not including... Read more
