    Jesus taught his disciples to set their minds on divine things such as denying themselves and taking up their crosses to follow him. He added to that statements about "losing" our lives and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. What does all this mean?

    THERE ARE PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE THAT CAN CREATE FEAR AND POSSIBLY DISTRESS DUE TO THEIR BLUNT, BUT HIDDEN MEANING. IN LUKE 14:26, WE ARE TOLD THAT “IF ANYONE COMES TO ME AND DOES NOT HATE FATHER AND MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS—YES, EVEN THEIR OWN LIFE—SUCH A PERSON CANNOT BE MY ...read more

To be able to say that we were completely dedicated to and solely motivated by God’s will may be our dream and desire, but it is not the reality.

It’s the story of the underdog winning, winning against the seeming odds. We probably all have some feeling for the underdog, say in a sporting event, and enjoy ...read more

The entire story is also about the Jewish leaders and their pathetic and flagrant disregard for life and innocence. But the story is also about Jesus’ steadfast commitment to the people for whom he came. ...read more
