    The Shadow Of The Cross Over The Incarnation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 74 ratings
     | 4,922 views

    The full significance of the Incarnation is only seen when its dark side is understood - in the Sign of a Sword to Mary’s heart, the Symbol of Myrrh as an offering from the wise men and the Sorrow of Rachael over her dead children.

    If the message of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus into human experience, had to be condensed into a single sentence it couldn’t be bettered than the words of John: "He came to his own home and his own people received him not" (1:11). In the opening verses of his Gospel, John had already ...read more

    CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!!! To our shame we often limit Luke chapter 2 to the Christmas season when in fact verse 14 gives us daily and eternal peace!

    Luke 2:13-14 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

    Joys False Or Complete Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 10, 2004

     | 3,318 views

    For Epiphany: As Richard Foster wrote about "Money, Sex, and Power", is it possible the Wise Men’s gifts are warnings to Jesus and His family about these things? Complete joy comes from what Jesus did with these issues.

    Who we are and what we have are two entirely different things, but we confuse them. We insist on identifying who we are by what we have. Who we are and what we have are not the same thing. We are more by far than the material goods we possess. And yet everywhere we are identified by our stuff. ...read more
