    Jesus took all our pains & sufferings to the cross, then what are we complaining about instead of thanking? - Especially since He also showed us how we bore the pain without taking even the analgesic (the vinegar & gall wine) offered?

    “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12) - ‘If we are the children of God, then why do we suffer?’ retorted a friend of mine who is a staunch believer too. Here is a reflection that endeavors ...read more

    Mary was a virgin- which meant she was young, but also unspoiled, untainted, immaculate, pristine, flawless; spotless, unsullied, unpolluted, undefiled, and perfect. God choose a person with integrity; someone trustworthy.

    Adoption

    Contributed by David Scudder on Aug 21, 2010

     | 5,501 views

    The word "adoption" is an action noun, so it acts like a verb, i.e. the Holy Spirit performs the act of adopting. In Roman law an adopted child had the exact same position and privileges as a natural born child, e.g. legal standing, or inheritance.

    Purpose: To show what spiritual adoption is and what a great privilege it is. INTRODUCTION: ADOPTION huiothesia ^5206^, from huios, "a son," and thesis, "a placing," akin to tithemi, "to place," signifies the place and condition of a son given to one to whom it does not naturally belong.

    The writer of Hebrews wants to describe to us the picture that he took and he wants to highlight for us the things that we now can see clearer since God came up a little closer to us, therefore tonight we will take a closer look at Jesus.
