The Way To Go Up Is Down

Contributed by Pat Cook on Nov 17, 2003

Looking at Jesus being the conquering Lion and the sacrificial Lamb, the way to win is to submit to God’s plans and purposes.

Revelation 5:1-10 – The Way to go Up is Down I’m sure most of you know what an oxymoron is. It’s a figure of speech that seems to contradict itself.

Love On The March

Contributed by Doug Silvers on Mar 24, 2015

In the story of the Palm Sunday, Jesus was unafraid to march into the lion's den and willfully take what the world would give him. Jesus' humility and selfless act is masked on this day. We see Palm fronds and sing "Hallelujahs", but Jesus saw us.

Love on the March Mathew 21: 1-11 & Isaiah 50:4-9 In a military setting, marching is done for a variety of reasons. It can be to get all of a platoon or squad from one place to another, Or, marching can be a way to show mastery of skill. It was in boot camp where we practiced the entire time ...read more

We tend to think that meekness is for losers, but Jesus teaches that the earth belongs to those who humility and meekness is seen in their trust of Christ.

Twenty-Second Sunday In Ordinary, Year C: Humility

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 29, 2025

The crucified and resurrected body of Jesus thus represents the ultimate paradox’ and provides the necessity for disability. Jesus became so completely identified in his life and teaching with the lowest place, not only in the Eucharist by being disguised as the poor.
