You Have Found Favor with God (Luke 1:26-38)

There is nowhere we can go, no place on earth, no situation whatsoever that is beyond God’s ability, reach, and power to effect the divine will.

The Annunciation, by Liviu Dumitrescu Six months after Elizabeth had become pregnant, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a city in Galilee. The angel went to a virgin promised in marriage to a descendant of David named Joseph. The virgin’s name was Mary. When the angel entered her home, he greeted her and said, “You are favored by the Lord! The Lord is with you.” She was startled by what…

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…

Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 2:13-23)

The littlest, the lowly, the least, the lost, the lonely, and the last, all matter.

Nazareth Village, Israel When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was…

The love heart of the Father -unlimited; infinite… [Part 1]

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9 Divine Love sung its highest note in the poignant harmonics of the incarnation; within his short sojourn among men we see the deep love God has towards humanity. The earthly ministry of Jesus is filled with the themes and colors that make…

Consider the contrast between how the Law was given in Exodus 20 and the giving of the gospel in Acts 2. The former was given in one language and to one people;…

Who Is Jesus? (Luke 2:22-40)

The Gospels are not biographies – in the sense we think of them – but rather they are narratives that seek to answer a fundamental question about faith and life on this earth: Who is this Jesus?

The Presentation in the Temple, 14th century fresco in Pomposa Abbey, Codorigo, Italy When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the…
