Just A Little Give And Take

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 29, 2004

First Sunday in Lent: Temptation is often the enticement to compromise, to engage in just a bit of ’give and take.’ Jesus would have none of it when satan tempted Him. Nothing would deter Jesus from the Cross.

The art of the compromise – of give and take – is valued by many people. You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. Watch the consummate politician on campaign trail – they live by give and take. Whey even a good football game starts out as a battle of give and take. One team will fight and ...read more

We are taken on a journey covering the last weeks of Jesus’ ministry, which ends with his horrible torture and death by crucifixion. But because we ...read more
