Stages On The Journey

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

On the journey of faith, our spiritual vision is often clouded. As we continue on the journey, Jesus corrects our spiritual vision. We are to remain on the journey of faith, looking to Jesus for improved vision. Luke gives us three reasons.

I am looking at this passage as a portrayal of the Christian journey of faith. Like all journeys, the Christian pilgrimage through life has a point of departure, a destination, and a route through which we travel from one to the other. Verse 39 shows us a pilgrim who has just begun the journey. ...read more

The Magnificat

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 30, 2003

Mary’s Song is her response to her calling to be the mother of the Messiah and is a Personal Testimony to God’s grace and a Prophetic Testament to God’s redemptive purposes.
