The Child Jesus Held In His Arms

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 17, 2024

A tradition in the church says the child is none other than Ignatius, a native of Syria. This is the boy who later became ...read more

Which Jesus Do You Have?

Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 22, 2024

The world sees Jesus as a good teacher, but someone who has little call on anyone’s life. There is no personal cost to this Jesus, no relationship. He often is only a genie that they demand when things go wrong. Our question is, "Who is my Jesus?"

WHICH JESUS DO YOU HAVE? John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Let us look at some different views of Jesus and see how our view fits. 1. THE WORLD The world sees Jesus as a good teacher and a good example based ...read more

The Beauty Of Christian Life

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 5, 2024

The reason why many Christians, who claim to be holy, look miserable and depressed and long-faced is that they try to produce a sort of holiness by themselves through some rules made by men. They live again under law.

The happiest person ever walked on the face of this earth is Jesus Christ. This doesn’t mean that He was the wealthiest, healthiest, most handsome and most influential person ever lived! But the joy of his life was centred completely on his trust in his Father (God Almighty). Jesus was not moved ...read more
