The Conscious Water Saw Its Master & Blushed

Ravi Zacharius says, “A word is worth a thousand pictures, try to draw this…  Capturing the beauty of Jesus’ first miracle or sign, the conversion of the water into wine (John 2:1-11), the poet Alexander Pope said, “The conscious water saw its Master and blushed.” That sublime description could be reworked to explain each oneContinue reading “The Conscious Water Saw Its Master & Blushed”

Highs, Lows and Plateaus

We’ve all gone through highs, lows and plateaus in our spiritual lives. Sometimes all in the same week.

We are told in the Luke 2:39-52 that as a boy of 12 Jesus knew he was the son of God and must be “in his father’s house”.  I imagine that Mary and Joseph wouldContinue reading “When did Jesus know He was God?”

For Unto Us a Child is Born

Who Do You Say That Jesus Is?

Jesus asked His disciples in Matthew 16 who do the people say that He was. Then He asked who do you say that I am? Matthew 16:13-20 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John theContinue reading “Who Do You Say That Jesus Is?”
