Most commentaries and study Bibles help us make the journey from the twenty-first century back to the first century, enabling us to cross the barriers that separate us from the biblical world. Yet they only offer a one-way ticket to the past and assume we can somehow make the return journey on our own.
Like the bestselling NIV Application Commentary series from which its notes are drawn, the NIV Application Bible bridges the world of the Bible and contemporary times. Its Original Meaning Notes help you explore the meaning of the biblical text while Application Notes make it personal, helping you integrate the Bible's teachings into your everyday life. |

April 25 — The Upper Room in Jerusalem, traditionally associated with Jesus' Last Supper, has a rich history as a pilgrimage site. Recent archaeological studies using advanced imaging techniques have uncovered over 40 medieval inscriptions and graffiti on its walls. These include coats of arms, inscriptions from European pilgrims, and an Armenian inscription tied to the Mongol conquest of the Levant in 1299. (Biblical Archaeology Society) |
| April 25 — In the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, Bibles and other religious books have been exempted from tariffs, providing relief to Christian publishers (and readers). China, a major hub for Bible printing, produces over 75% of new Bibles globally, with Amity Printing Company leading the industry. While the exemption ensures affordability and accessibility of Bibles, the industry remains cautious amid broader economic uncertainties. (Christianity Today) |
| April 26 — Pope Francis's funeral in St. Peter's Square drew 400,000 mourners, including clergy, pilgrims, refugees, and global leaders. The late pontiff, celebrated for his compassion and advocacy for peace, was eulogized as "a pope among the people." His tomb was inscribed only with "Franciscus," an unusually simple burial reflecting his humility. The conclave to elect his successor is set to begin on May 5.

The death of Jesus appeared to be the ultimate dead end. It was the end of Israel's hopes, the end of the disciples' dreams, the end of a popular movement. Rome, and her local puppet government, thought they had successfully quelled an uprising. Jesus' followers thought their hopes had died.
But that is not how the first followers of Jesus saw it. |
| In Acts 2, shortly after a resurrected Jesus ascends to heaven, he sends the Holy Spirit to fulfill his promise — to be with his disciples until the end of the age and empower them to make disciples of all the nations.
While we often marvel at the supernatural moment when blue flames rested upon each believer and they "began to speak in other tongues" (Acts 2:4), Pentecost is much more than a miraculous event. It was a profound turning point in redemptive history. |
