The Wednesday Word: Jesus the Least

“Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”  (Matthew 11:11). In my early years as a Christian, I was taught that this verse demonstrated that the weakest believer in the New Covenant was greater than John the Baptist. In other words, I was told, for…

His Resurrection Is Ours

“I have come to give the good life, a life that overflows with beauty and harmony.” Jesus (John 10:10)

The Resurrection, by Andrea Mantegna, c.1458 C.E. The story of Christianity, the very heart and essence of the religion, is a tale of transformation from all the obstacles, impediments, and barriers which confine or cripple. The person and work of Jesus accomplished this. In his earthly ministry, Christ continually called people to transformative change into the reality of God’s gracious and…

For the Love of God

Those who love God Love also their neighbor Those who curse their neighbor Also curse God. Who can curse a song Without wounding the song writer? Who can curse a child Without arousing the anger of the parent? There are those who claim The name of God The name of Christ Yet they curse at their brothers They judge their brothers They spew fear and punishment arrogantly They proclaim themselves…

Trusting God in Unfair Situations

Let’s face it: life is not fair. Sometimes it is unfair to our disadvantage, but at other times, it is unfair to our advantage. It is interesting how we are prone to cry foul when life is unfair to our disadvantage but are more than glad to accept and rejoice when it is unfair to our benefit. This inconsistency highlights the human tendency to be self-centered and myopic rather than God-focused…

You have also spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, O Lord God! 18 And what more can David say to you for honoring your servant? For you know your…

Verse of the Day 6-13-22

Verse of the Day 6-13-22

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to…

Christ the King Sunday (John 18:33-37)

Jesus was a king and a ruler who used his power and authority for those on the underbelly of society, that is, people without much, if any, power or authority.

Statue of Christ the King, in Świebodzin, Poland Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”  Jesus answered, “Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?”  Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?”  Jesus answered, “My kingdom…

Pride - the Hidden Sin

Greetings to all brethren seeking our Lord Jesus Christ and His Mercy. I, a fellow servant of our God and King do humbly beseech you my brothers and sisters to give ear to the wisdom of our Father in heaven.  I do not come to you as one who has risen above the failings of the world, or one who has risen above my fellows, but as one who has also suffered greatly at the hand of my own paths and…
