The Bible and history do not provide much information about the origin of Judas. What is certain is that he was one of the twelve men that the Lord Jesus chose to be His ...read more

    While traveling to Jerusalem, a Samaritan village refuses to welcome Jesus and his disciples. Instead of judgment, Jesus demonstrates to his followers overwhelming compassion and reminds us of how he moves in our lives.
