The Savior Is Born (Luke 2:1-20)
When a life-upsetting event occurs, many of us like to go away to a different place so that we can think about the situation. Perhaps a change of environment will help to see our situation more clearly. When the angel Gabriel told Mary that she would give birth to a son through the power of […]
What Would this Child Be? (Luke 1:57-80)
Most couples anticipate the birth of their first child with great joy. This was especially true in the case of Zechariah and Elizabeth because Elizabeth had been barren and unable to have children. It wasn’t until both she and her husband were elderly that she miraculously became pregnant. Elizabeth’s pregnancy in itself was ample proof […]
All Generations Will Call Me Blessed (Luke 1:39-56)
There are some events which turn our life upside down. One minute everything is normal. Our routine is the same as all the previous days. Then, suddenly something happens and from that moment our life will never be the same again. How we respond to such life-changing events displays our inner character. Some people become […]
I Am The Lord’s Servant (Luke 1:26-38)
When we want to do something which we think is important and will have a major impact on the world, we try to enlist the help and support of the wealthy, the powerful and the influential. But God works differently. The prophet Isaiah wrote, ““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways […]
He Will Go Before The Lord (Luke 1:5-25)
When a tragedy occurs it is common for someone to say, “Why doesn’t God do something?” The truth is that God often is doing something – but what He is doing is not apparent to us. The greatest tragedy of all was when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God. Through them sin entered the […]
How Can We Know? (Luke 1:1-4)
Every day we are bombarded with a huge amount of information. Wherever we turn another message clamors for our attention. Newspapers, the radio, TV and the Internet demand we give our time and attention to what they have to say. Advertisers try to convince us that we need what they have to sell. Politicians and […]
Preach the Good News! (Mark 16:9-20)
There are some things which are so far outside of our experience or our expectations that we find them extremely difficult to believe. Even though Jesus clearly told His disciples that He would rise from the dead, they did not expect Him to do so. When Jesus’ tomb was found empty they still could not […]
An Empty Tomb (Mark 15:42-16:8)
Jesus’ cry from the cross, “It is finished!” also expressed the understanding of His disciples. When Jesus died, all their hopes died with Him. Though Jesus plainly told them ahead of time what would happen, they did not understand or believe. Afterwards, however, something occurred which changed everything. In the Gospel account which bears his […]
Forsaken (Mark 15:21-41)
If we think about dying we picture our death as calm and peaceful while being attended by those who love and respect us. For Jesus it was very different. His death was not only agonizing, it could not have occurred in a more degrading and humiliating way. Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, condemned Jesus […]
Crucify Him! (Mark 15:1-20)
God cares about justice and He wants the courts to be just. For example, God said to the Israelites through the prophet Moses, “Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the LORD your God is giving you.” (Deuteronomy 16:20 NIV) In spite of this clear instruction in the […]
