One of the pots had a crack down its side to a point about half way. The other pot, perfect! Each had been ...read more

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 11, 2013

We heard last week that Jesus says he came so that no one should remain in darkness, and just before that he says that anyone who sees me sees the Father. What does this mean? It means that the truth that is the most imperative for all people, is to believe that Jesus is God in the flesh.

“Jesus Came to Overcome Blindness” (2 Cor 4:1-7) English author H. G. Wells—famous for science fiction novels like The Time Machine, and The War of the Worlds—once wrote a short story called “The Country of the Blind.” It’s about an inaccessible, ...read more
