    Like Judas, let us forsake a casual relationship with Jesus and be more like Mary who developed a close, personal, and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, the Savior.

    I ran across a book from 1904, entitled, “Maxwell’s Elementary grammar” that contained the following poem: "Oho!" said the pot to the kettle; "You are dirty and ugly and black! Sure no one would think you were metal, except when you're given a crack." "Not so! Not so!" kettle ...read more

    What do you expect from Jesus? The people, disciples, and the religious leaders had some very specific expectations of Jesus on Palm Sunday. He shattered all of them, just as He shatters our expectations as well. And that's a good thing!

    John 12:1-2, 9-19 Jesus performed an incredible miracle in raising Lazarus. It made huge waves. It wasn’t the first person Jesus raised, but it was the first who had been raised after the Jewish belief that the soul had left the body. According to the Talmud (Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin ...read more

    Unexpected Jesus

    Do our expectations of who Jesus should be keep us from seeing who he really is?

    Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something about this story that has always bothered me. How on earth could Mary Magdeline, who has been one of Jesus’s closest friends, look right at him and doesn’t recognize him? Isn’t that like…the president of the George ...read more

    Which Jesus?

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Mar 28, 2013
     | 4,572 views

    The burial of Christ confronts us with the clear reality of his death and resurrection. The burial of Christ ensures that we accept the historicity of his death and resurrection.

    The gospel is summarized in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. The Apostle Paul writes, “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,” (1 ...read more

    The Incognito Jesus

    Frequently Jesus asked people He healed or those who received revelations about Him to keep it quiet and not tell what they knew. At other times His very appearance was altered to disguise His identity. Why did He choose to be incognito?

    THE INCOGNITO CHRIST John 12:20-21 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: WHEN FULL OF BALOGNE 1. A fly was buzzing along one morning when he saw a lawn mower someone had left out in their front yard. He flew over and sat on the handle, watching the children going down the sidewalk on their way to school. 2. ...read more

    Meeting Jesus in the waters of baptism.

    THE BAPTISM OF JESUS. Matthew 3:13-17. The baptism administered by John was with a view to the repentance of sins. So, immediately, we are challenged with the thought: why did Jesus make the journey from Galilee to Jordan to be baptised by John (Matthew 3:13)? After all, as John would argue ...read more

    THE ASCENSION OF JESUS Acts 1:1-11 The Acts of the Apostles is a continuation of the account of The Gospel According to Luke. There is a definite continuity between the two books. Both books are addressed to someone called Theophilus, and in the beginning of Acts the evangelist again explains ...read more
