"The Christ Bearer"

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Mar 27, 2017

When Jesus entered Jerselum on Palm Sunday a donkey was the Christ Bearer, not the disciples, not the crowd, not the religious leaders.

A New Command

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on May 13, 2019

Jesus on the last night of his life teaches his disciples to love one another. But the chief point of the text is the love of Jesus, a love that fulfills certain themes from the feast of Hanukkah (explicitly mentioned in John 10:22).

In thinking about our Gospel text this morning I was reminded of the movie 300. This 2006 movie was quite the success. Men liked the battles and I’ve been told that many women liked the abs. Whatever exactly the case, the film grossed about 450 million dollars. The movie is loosely based on the ...read more
