Bernard of Clairvaux wrote the hymn “Jesus the Very Thought of Thee”
Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills the breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,

Each and every one of Jesus’ disciples was and is "a diamond in the rough". "Every diamond does not shine alike. Some can never shine because they have never been cut. The brilliancy of the light depends largely upon the character of its facets. Three things are needed to make us shine: (1) We must

Twas The Night Before Jesus Came
Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house
Not a creature was praying, not one in the house.
Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care
In hopes that Jesus would not come there.
The children were dressing to crawl into bed,
Not once ever

Jesus is the Truth that sets us free, and that freedom comes through knowing Him personally in a one-on-one relationship. There is a tremendous difference in knowing about a person and knowing that person. I know about President Bush and Prince Charles, but I do not have a personal relationship

Jesus displays for us in person the compassion of God for his suffering saints. God in the flesh is able to demonstrate for us what God in heaven feels when we cry out to him in moments of grief or sorrow.
There are certain theological systems of belief that hold to the idea that God is unmoved

Many unbelievers try to identify Jesus with the occult, or with other Religions. I remember one particular home in India where I saw pictures of the Hindu god’s lining the walls. There, mixed in with Krishna and Vishnu --- lined up between Ganesh, an elephant-headed god, and another god with

Death is a huge chasm. But Jesus bridged that too. It is his sacrifice that is the bridge. Many stories allude to the power of sacrifice, one of the most recent is the Chronicles of Narnia, where the Lion Aslan, won’t stay dead!

Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child,
Make thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
My heart for very joy doth leap,
My lips no more can silence keep,
I too must sing, with joyful tongue,
That sweetest ancient cradle song,
Glory to God in highest

"Here are the weapons of Jesus’ Kingdom: rakes, brooms, listening ears, open hands, generous hearts, and emptying wallets. Jesus’ idea is that when someone is saved it is Good News for everybody. It is Good News for their neighbors - whether their neighbors are Hindu, Atheist, or Muslim. It is Good

“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”
The word commit means, “to deposit something of great value in a safe place.” Our life is filled with all types of

At the end of His life, Jesus was able to confidently declare His trust in the Sovereign Father. This reminds me of a poem called “Invictus” written by a humanist named William Ernest Henley:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my
