(Matthew 21:2–7)
When we read the Gospel of Matthew 21:2–7, we see Jesus giving a specific and somewhat curious instruction to His disciples:
“Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.”(Matthew 21:2, ESV)
Jesus asked for two animals:
This was not without reason. Matthew even tells us it was a fulfillment of prophecy:
“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’” (Matthew 21:5, ESV quoting Zechariah 9:9)
So Jesus rode on the colt, while the mother donkey walked beside them.
In Mark 11:2 and Luke 19:30, only one animal is mentioned:
“Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.”(Luke 19:30, NIV)
Some may assume this is a contradiction. But in truth, it is not.
Imagine two eyewitnesses to a car accident:
Both are telling the truth they are simply emphasizing different parts of the same event.
Similarly, Matthew gives us the full picture, while Mark and Luke focus only on the colt because that is the animal Jesus actually rode. But the presence of the mother donkey is important, too and it carries a deeper meaning.
The Colt and Its Mother
Why did Jesus ask for both the colt and its mother?
Because the colt was young and untrained Scripture says no one had ever ridden it before (Luke 19:30). It had likely never been separated from its mother, and would have been anxious or incapable of walking alone.
In His mercy, Jesus did not isolate the colt. He allowed the mother to come alongside, to offer comfort, stability, and presence.
This is a powerful image of discipleship and spiritual growth.
Some of us feel too immature, too inexperienced, or too weak to serve the Lord. We see ourselves as colts never having been “ridden” or used before. We think: “Surely God would rather use someone stronger, wiser, or more mature.”
But Jesus chooses the untrained. He calls the one no one else would have chosen.
We may wonder: “Why didn’t Jesus just ride the older, stronger donkey?”
Because the focus of that moment was the young one just like you might be the focus now. The mother stood by, not in use, but in support.
Jesus had already made His choice.
The colt represents new vessels, young believers, or even those who feel spiritually unqualified. The donkey (the mother) represents mentors, pastors, or spiritual leaders who walk beside them in support.
The Lord is showing us something:
He doesn’t need us to be “ready” in the world’s standards. He just wants us available.
The message is clear:
You may be young in age or in faith. You may feel inexperienced, untrained, and even unworthy.
But God is not limited by your ability.
Jesus said:
“At that time Jesus declared, ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children.’”(Matthew 11:25, ESV)
And again:
“God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong. “1Corinthians 1:27, ESV)”
Don’t Wait Until You Feel “Qualified”
Many believers are waiting to reach a level of “spiritual maturity” before they serve:
But Jesus is calling you now just as you are. He says:
“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”(Matthew 11:29–30, ESV)
On this very date April 14th, Christians around the world commemorate Palm Sunday the day Jesus entered Jerusalem riding that young colt. (Matthew 21, Mark 11)
The crowd laid down their cloaks and waved palm branches shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matthew 21:9, ESV)
That colt, once unknown and untrained, was suddenly walking on a red carpet of praise.
Let that be you.
Tell the Lord:
“Here I am, Lord. Use me. I may be young, weak, or unsure but I surrender myself to You.”
You will never regret being used by God.
There are only two kinds of riders in this life:
If Jesus doesn’t ride you, the enemy will.
So today, make your choice.
Let the Lord put His gentle yoke on your life and carry His glory wherever He leads you.
“They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it.” (Mark 11:7, ESV)
May you be that colt.
Humble. Chosen. Available. Useful.
May the name of the Lord Jesus Christ be praised forever.
May His Spirit empower you to say “Yes, Lord!” Even in your weakness He is strong.
Hosanna in the Highest!

Romans 6:23 (KJV)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Shalom, beloved of God! Welcome to this study of the Word of our Lord. As many of us already know, there is no true life outside of Jesus Christ. He alone is the reason we are alive today. We live because of Him, and even when we die, we die for Him.
The Bible tells us:
Romans 14:7-9 (KJV)
“For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.”
Jesus Christ alone has been given all authority in heaven and on earth. While the Bible does refer to Satan as “the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4), it is important to understand that this authority is temporary and permitted granted under the sovereignty of God. His rule is not independent; it is allowed for a limited time, and one day his license to operate will expire.
Satan rules by permission, not by right. Like in the story of Job, he cannot do anything without divine consent (Job 1:6–12). A time will come when Satan will be bound for a thousand years to make way for the peaceful reign of Christ on earth (Revelation 20:1–3). After that, he will be released briefly, then cast into the lake of fire forever (Revelation 20:10).
This shows us the supremacy of Jesus Christ over all creation every being, seen and unseen, is under His dominion. Nothing is outside His control.
Matthew 28:18 (KJV)
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”
One day, I walked past a grain milling area and noticed some corn kernels that had fallen near a drainage ditch. Surprisingly, some of them had started sprouting. That sparked a deep thought in my heart: Why are they growing even though no one intentionally planted them?
Then I realized: Whatever a person sows, they will surely reap whether planted knowingly or unknowingly. This is a divine law.
We often think a farmer is only the one who sows deliberately. But even a person who accidentally drops a seed becomes a sower. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, that seed will grow, and in time, there will be a harvest.
In the same way, we also “plant seeds” in our lives through our actions, our thoughts, our words whether we know it or not.
Galatians 6:7–8 (KJV)
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”
Whether you are aware or not, every act produces a harvest. Good seeds bring blessings. Bad seeds bring destruction.
If you engage in sin whether knowingly or unknowingly the outcome is the same. The wages of sin is death. Not because God is unfair, but because sin, by its very nature, leads to destruction. Like two people who both planted corn one on purpose and one by accident they will both see the harvest come.
Think about how earthly law works. If someone rapes a student, the government doesn’t ask if the person knew it was a crime. Justice is blind to ignorance. You are punished based on what you did, not on what you knew.
The same applies in the spiritual realm. God does not mock. You will reap what you sow, whether you knew it or not.
“For the wages of sin is death…”
Notice the Bible does not say “the punishment for sin is death” it says wages.
Wages are not punishments; they are payments.
If you work for sin, your salary is death.
In the same way, Jesus also says:
Revelation 22:12 (KJV)
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
Judgment Day is not about simply announcing punishments it’s about issuing rewards. Whether you worked for sin or for righteousness, you will receive what you earned.
So, my dear brother or sister reading this if you are living in sin, whether intentionally or unknowingly you must understand: life outside of Jesus Christ is like scattering seeds on the roadside and walking away. But those seeds will still grow. And one day, they will yield a harvest whether of death or life.
But there is hope!
The second half of Romans 6:23 says:
“…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
This means you can trade your “wages” for a gift. You don’t have to earn death you can receive life, not by works, but by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Jesus died and rose again so that you wouldn’t have to die eternally.
The Bible says:
Ecclesiastes 12:1 (KJV)
“Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not…”
Don’t wait for a time when you can no longer seek Him. Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Repent of your sins. Trust in His finished work on the cross. He alone can give you eternal life.
It is my prayer that the Lord grants you the grace to understand this truth, to turn from sin, and to pursue righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ.
May God bless you richly as you choose the path of eternal life.
Amen.
In Acts 17, we read about the Apostle Paul’s missionary journey to Athens, the intellectual and philosophical hub of the ancient Greek world. This was not just any city it was the birthplace of many of the world’s greatest thinkers and philosophers, including Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Pythagoras, Xenophon, and Ptolemy. These were men of deep thought, rigorous reasoning, and passionate inquiry.
The Athenians were not easily swayed by myths or hearsay. They were seekers of truth, always eager to understand the deeper meaning of things. The Bible says:
“Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.”Acts 17:21, ESV
It is in this context that Paul arrives and begins observing the city, noting its religious landscape. Amidst his explorations, he comes across a remarkable altar an altar inscribed with the words: “TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.” (Acts 17:23)
This deeply impacted Paul.
Unlike other pagan cultures, the Greeks were not content with blind worship. They were thinkers. Their inscription, “To the Unknown God,” was not mere superstition it was the humble admission that amidst all their idols, philosophies, and scientific pursuits, there remained a supreme being beyond their comprehension.
They had come to a conclusion many modern thinkers also reach: that there must be a transcendent cause behind the order of the universe one not made by human hands, nor confined to temples or religious rituals.
Paul seizes this moment to speak truth into their spiritual curiosity.
“Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.”Acts 17:22–23, ESV
Paul boldly declared that this “Unknown God” was none other than the Creator of the heavens and the earth:
“The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man.”Acts 17:24, ESV
He goes further to say this God is not served by human hands, nor is He distant or detached:
“…He is actually not far from each one of us, for ‘In Him we live and move and have our being’… For we are indeed His offspring.”Acts 17:27–28, ESV
Paul then points them toward Jesus Christ, the only way to truly know this unknowable God:
“The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent.”Acts 17:30, ESV
“…Because He has fixed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He has appointed; and of this He has given assurance to all by raising Him from the dead.”Acts 17:31, ESV
Just like in Athens, our generation is filled with seekers, scientists, and skeptics. Many believe in a Supreme Power, but they call it by other names “Nature,” “the Universe,” or “Energy.”
Famous physicist Albert Einstein once said:
“I believe in God, but not in a personal God who is concerned with the fates and actions of human beings… I believe in the God of Spinoza, who reveals Himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns Himself with the fates and actions of human beings.”
Similarly, many Muslims believe in Allah as utterly transcendent not a father, not a man, not to be called “Father” or to have any relationship with human beings.
All these beliefs like the Athenian altar reflect a limited knowledge of the one true God. They recognize His greatness, but not His accessibility through Jesus Christ.
“They worship what they do not know…” (cf. John 4:22)
The mystery of the “Unknown God” was fully revealed in Jesus Christ.
“For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.”Colossians 2:9, ESV
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.”Colossians 1:15, ESV
“Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.”John 14:9, ESV
God made Himself knowable in Christ. Without Him, no one can understand or relate to God. Jesus is the “interface” through whom finite man can engage with an infinite God.
Let’s use a modern analogy.
Imagine your smartphone. The internal components (motherboard, processor, circuits) make it work, but you can’t communicate through it unless there’s a screen.
That screen translates the complex technology into simple icons, apps, and touch commands that you can interact with. Jesus is that interface.
Without Jesus, trying to reach God is like opening the phone and touching the chips and wires directly you won’t make a call. Jesus bridges the infinite and the finite.
“No one comes to the Father except through me.”John 14:6, ESV
Worshipping a God you do not know has consequences.
But through Jesus, everything changes:
“But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”John 1:12, ESV
“Since then we have a great high priest… let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace…”Hebrews 4:14–16, ESV
Are you still outside of Christ? Perhaps you’re religious, spiritual, or just curious. Or maybe you’re Muslim, atheist, or nominally Christian. Whatever your background the time is now.
“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”Hebrews 3:15, ESV
Repent, believe in the Gospel, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38). Then you will no longer worship an unknown God, but will walk in fellowship with the living God.
“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world.” Hebrews 1:1–2, ESV
Jesus is the final Word. He is the full revelation of the God whom the world is still searching for. Don’t live your life worshiping what you do not know.
“…For eternal life is this: to know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”John 17:3, ESV
Let’s explore one of the powerful secrets that caused the message of our Lord Jesus Christ to spread so effectively in such a short period. Many people assume that self promotion or showing off our good deeds before others will make us more known or successful. For example, someone might help a person with something small and immediately broadcast it to everyone so they can receive praise and recognition.
But let’s examine the approach Jesus used. There is a profound lesson here by one that can shape our ministries, our daily work, and every aspect of our lives.
Mark 1:40–45 (ESV) “And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, ‘If you will, you can make me clean.’ Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, ‘I will; be clean.’ And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, and said to him, ‘See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.’ But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter.”
We see here that Jesus healed the man, but instructed him not to tell anyone. This wasn’t an isolated case Jesus often gave the same instruction after performing miracles. Why? It wasn’t that Jesus didn’t want His name known. Rather, He understood a divine principle: when you refrain from self promotion, you give others a reason to speak for you and that often has a more powerful impact.
Mark 7:34–36 (ESV) “And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, ‘Ephphatha,’ that is, ‘Be opened.’ And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.”
This counterintuitive method doing great things quietly and humbly made Jesus even more famous. It is a spiritual law:
“Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” (Matthew 23:12)
If you want to be recognized or honored whether in ministry, business, or personal life first do excellent work, then stay humble and quiet. Don’t glorify yourself or seek the applause of men. In time, the very people you served will speak on your behalf far more convincingly than you ever could.
This was Jesus’ principle. He humbled Himself He didn’t seek praise and for that reason, God exalted Him.
Philippians 2:8–9 (KJV) “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.”
Sometimes we pray for something big from God and expect the answer to arrive in the same measure. But God often begins with something small. If we don’t understand this divine principle, we might miss His answers.
Think of Elijah: he prayed for rain over Israel after years of drought. He expected a great cloud, but what came instead?
1 Kings 18:44 (KJV) “And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand.”
It was just a small cloud, like the size of a man’s hand. But Elijah didn’t despise it he received it by faith. Soon after, the sky grew dark and heavy rain poured over the land. That’s the power of believing even in small beginnings.
Zechariah 4:10 (ESV) “For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice…”
Don’t despise small answers. You may have asked for a house, and instead received a bicycle. Receive it with gratitude and faith it may be the very thing God uses to bring you the house and more.
But above all, remember: this world is not our home. We are pilgrims on a journey. God may bless us with possessions, but they are temporary. We are not called to pursue houses, cars, or land as our final goal. These are tools, not destinations.
2 Peter 3:13 (KJV) “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
We must fix our eyes on eternity, not temporary things. Jesus taught that a person’s life is not defined by the abundance of their possessions:
Luke 12:15 (ESV) “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Mark 8:36 (KJV) “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
Let us walk in the humility of Christ. Let us do our best quietly, trusting that God Himself will lift us up. Let us believe in small beginnings and have an eternal mindset. For our greatest reward is not in this world but in the life to come.
May the Lord bless you abundantly.
Peace (Shalom) to you, beloved. Welcome as we reflect on the Words of Life.
When we carefully meditate on the events that took place shortly after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, we begin to uncover deep spiritual truths hidden within them. Let us focus particularly on the early morning of the first day of the week Sunday as described in John 20.
Mary Magdalene rose very early, even before the others, and went to the tomb of Jesus. This alone testifies to the depth of her love and devotion for the Lord surpassing even that of the disciples at that moment.
Upon arriving, she discovered something unexpected: the stone had been rolled away, and the tomb was empty. Out of fear and confusion, she ran to inform Peter and the other disciple (believed to be John), who both hurried to the tomb.
John 20:6–9 (ESV)“Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.”
Although they had been told that Jesus would rise again, the disciples still did not fully understand the Scriptures. After seeing the empty tomb, they returned home in sorrow, unsure of what to make of it all.
But Mary Stayed…
Mary, on the other hand, remained at the tomb. Her heart was broken. She lingered, weeping, overwhelmed by grief and uncertainty. It was there while weeping beside the tomb that heaven began to reveal itself to her.
She looked again into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting where Jesus’ body had been one at the head and the other at the feet.
John 20:12–13 (ESV)“And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. They said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ She said to them, ‘They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.'”
This is a powerful spiritual lesson:
Do not be quick to leave the presence of God, especially when things seem hopeless. Sometimes, what appears to be emptiness is actually the place of divine encounter. Where others leave in sorrow, God may be preparing to reveal Himself to you.
The Turning Point: A Personal Encounter
Even after seeing angels, Mary was still weeping. Then she heard a voice someone behind her. She turned and saw a man, whom she assumed was the gardener. He asked her:
John 20:15–16 (ESV)“Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?’ Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, ‘Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.’ She turned and said to him in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!’ (which means Teacher).”
At that moment when Jesus called her by name her eyes were opened, and she recognized Him. She didn’t call Him “Jesus” or even “Lord”, but “Rabboni” a deeply personal and reverent title meaning “My Teacher” or “Master”.
John 20:17 (ESV)“Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”
Why did Jesus say, “Do not cling to me”?
The Greek verb here translated “cling” (ἅπτομαι haptomai) can mean to hold onto, to grasp, or to cling with the intent of keeping someone physically near. But the deeper meaning is spiritual.
Jesus was saying:
“Do not try to relate to me only as your earthly Rabbi anymore. Something new is happening I am ascending to the Father. The relationship we had before has changed. Soon, through the Holy Spirit, you will know Me more deeply not just as your Teacher but as your Risen Lord, enthroned in heaven.”
Jesus’ ascension was necessary for His followers to fully understand who He truly is and to experience intimate fellowship with Him through the Holy Spirit.
John 16:7 (ESV)“Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.”
John 16:13 (ESV)“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth…”
Without the Holy Spirit, even though the disciples had walked with Jesus for three years, they still could not fully comprehend His mission, His identity, or the Kingdom of God.
That is why after Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out the disciples suddenly understood. They preached with power, clarity, and boldness. Jesus was no longer just “Rabbi” to them; He was Lord, Messiah, and King.
Even today, you can love Jesus, follow Him, and even see dreams or visions of Him but unless you have received the Holy Spirit, you will never fully know Him as Rabboni, your Teacher and Lord in truth.
The true evidence that the Holy Spirit lives in you is not just speaking in tongues or working miracles. These are gifts of the Spirit, and not everyone has the same gifts.
Galatians 5:22–23 (ESV)“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control; against such things there is no law.”
The ultimate proof of the Holy Spirit in your life is not gifts but fruit, especially a life of holiness.
The same invitation Peter gave on the day of Pentecost is extended to you today:
Acts 2:37–39 (ESV)“Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’ And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.'”
Repent Turn away from all sin. Make a decision to forsake things like drunkenness, sexual immorality, gossip, addiction, and impurity.
Be baptized Seek a proper, Biblical baptism: immersion in water in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38).
Live a holy life Holiness is the evidence that Christ, by His Spirit, lives in you.
If you take these steps sincerely, God will fill you with His Holy Spirit, and you will begin to know Jesus not only as Savior, but as Rabboni your personal Lord and Teacher. You will no longer just visit the “empty tomb” in search of hope, but you will walk in the power of the resurrection daily.
Beloved, don’t stop at religion or emotional encounters. Cry out for the Holy Spirit, and ask the Lord to make Jesus your Rabboni in truth and Spirit. Let Him guide you into all truth, just as He promised.
“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”Matthew 11:15
May the Lord bless you and lead you into fullness of life in Christ.
Shalom! Welcome to this Bible teaching session. Today, we will reflect on the person of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the profound meaning of His body and His blood. As the Scriptures instruct us:
“…until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” Ephesians 4:13, ESV
In simpler terms, we are called to truly know and understand Jesus Christ, not just in word, but in the fullness of who He is to the degree that He desires to reveal Himself to us. This is not a suggestion; it is the central assignment of every believer. Without this understanding, we become vulnerable to every wind of doctrine and religious confusion that abounds today.
If you do not truly understand someone, it is impossible to walk with them in unity. You will likely miscommunicate, misinterpret their actions, or even walk in opposition without realizing it. The same is true with Jesus Christ without understanding His person, His words, and His mission, we risk misrepresenting Him entirely.
Jesus often said things that seemed offensive, confusing, or controversial. Without the help of the Holy Spirit, one can easily misunderstand His teachings and arrive at false conclusions.
Let us explore a few of His difficult sayings and discover their deeper meaning.
“And he said to them, ‘Go and tell that fox, “Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course.”Luke 13:32, ESV
Some accuse Jesus of insulting Herod. But was He actually using a slur?
No. In ancient Jewish culture, calling someone a “fox” was not simply name calling it implied cunning, slyness, and destructive behavior. Jesus was exposing Herod’s spiritual character. In Scripture, metaphors are often used this way. Jesus is called the “Lamb of God” (John 1:29) because of His gentle and sacrificial nature, not because He is literally a lamb.
Calling Herod a “fox” revealed his spiritual condition, not an insult. In fact, Jesus using animal imagery (Lamb, Lion, Dove, etc.) is consistent with how God communicates spiritual truths through physical metaphors.
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.”Luke 14:26, ESV
At first glance, this seems to contradict Jesus’ other teachings on love. After all, didn’t He command us to love even our enemies? (Matthew 5:44).
So how do we interpret this?
The word “hate” here (Greek: miseo) is used comparatively. Jesus is saying: “If anyone loves their family or even their own life more than Me, they cannot be My disciple.”
He is not commanding literal hatred, but rather complete surrender and loyalty to Him above all else, even above family, relationships, or self-interest.
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me…”Matthew 10:37, ESV
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.”John 6:53, ESV
This statement caused much offense. Some even stopped following Jesus after hearing it (John 6:66). It sounded like cannibalism, especially to the Jewish audience who were forbidden from consuming blood (Leviticus 17:10-14).
But Jesus was not speaking literally. He explained later that:
“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.”John 6:63, ESV
To “eat His flesh” and “drink His blood” means to fully receive, believe, and internalize His Word and His redemptive sacrifice. It is about abiding in Him through faith.
The Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion) is a symbolic act of this spiritual reality:
“And he took bread… and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’”1 Corinthians 11:23-25, ESV
The bread represents His body, and the wine (or juice) His blood. They are outward signs of the inward truth: that Christ lives in us, and we in Him (John 15:4).
You shared a powerful dream where you were eating meat from your own legs, symbolizing how you were relying on your own understanding, not the Word of God. This dream is deeply biblical.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5, ESV
Self made doctrines, human philosophies, and personal opinions when consumed as truth lead to spiritual death. You realized you were spiritually feeding on your own flesh (your own ideas), and the Lord mercifully corrected you.
Just as people can eat the “flesh” of Christ by consuming His words, they can also eat the “flesh” of:
False teachings are spiritual “meat” that poison the soul. Here are some examples:
If you’ve been “feeding” on false teachings or relying on your own thoughts, there’s hope. Jesus offers His body and blood the true food of eternal life freely.
“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters… without money and without price.” Isaiah 55:1, ESV
“Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”Mark 16:16, ESV
Do not feast on the lies of the enemy. Do not consume the empty philosophies of the world. Instead, feast daily on the Word of Christ, which gives eternal life.
“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega…”Revelation 22:12–13, ESV
“The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come.’ Let the one who is thirsty come…”Revelation 22:17, ESV
“I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”John 6:35, ESV
Choose today to feast on Christ. Abide in Him, feed on His Word, and walk in His Spirit. Reject every teaching that exalts man, the flesh, or demonic wisdom. The body and blood of Jesus are not just doctrines they are life.
May the Lord bless you richly and lead you deeper into His truth.

“Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness.”
The Apostle Paul gave Timothy a clear and direct instruction: reject “old wives’ tales” and instead, discipline yourself in godliness. These tales also called myths or superstitions may sound innocent or even wise, but they are dangerous distractions from the truth of the gospel.
These are sayings, beliefs, or customs passed down through generations that seem to carry truth on the surface but are, in fact, baseless and unbiblical. Almost every culture has them. Examples include:
And the list goes on: albino superstitions, cooking while singing, crying into cooking pots, etc.
While some of these may seem humorous or harmless, others create deep fear and even cause people including Christians to act irrationally. Unfortunately, these beliefs have infiltrated the Church. Some pastors and so called “apostles” now promote similar ideas as spiritual truth.
One popular example is a teaching that claims planting a certain tree called the umbrella tree in your yard invites curses, including the death of the father, poverty, sickness, and family division. A so called “apostle” widely circulated this teaching on social media.
Sadly, many believed it. A woman I knew listened to this message with great fear, and soon after, she cut down the tree from her home. Others did the same including my own family motivated by fear, not faith.
But what does the Bible say?
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared.”
Paul called these superstitions demonic teachings not just harmless stories. When people begin to attribute spiritual power to trees, animals, or objects, they slowly drift away from the living God and toward idolatry. They no longer seek God’s power or wisdom; instead, they try to fix their problems through natural things plants, rituals, objects which eventually opens the door to false worship.
The Bible is clear:
“Everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.”1 Timothy 4:4 (ESV)
No tree or plant is inherently cursed. To say that a particular tree causes death or poverty is to ignore the root cause of human suffering SIN and to assign spiritual power to something God created good.
If trees cause economic hardship, then why are families all over the world suffering without those trees present? Why do both rich and poor have them? The problem isn’t the tree it’s the heart.
Today, even Christians fear minor accidents, animals, or dreams saying they’re “under witchcraft” every time something goes wrong.
This mindset keeps believers in bondage. And fear is not from God.
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self control.”
Satan wants people consumed with fear so that their focus is no longer on Christ but on his lies. This results in spiritual weakness, bondage, and idol worship even unknowingly.
“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching… they will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”
Timothy was told to reject such myths, and rebuke them in the Church. Today, we must do the same.
Not stories of witchcraft. Not suspicious animals. Not cursed trees.
But rather:
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…” Colossians 3:16
“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord…” 2 Peter 3:18
“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness…” Matthew 6:33
Sadly, some preachers now spend more time teaching on demons, witchcraft, and fear than they do on Christ, grace, and love. This gives believers a deep fear of Satan but shallow knowledge of God. They avoid black cats but don’t fear sin.
“You shall not plant any tree as an Asherah beside the altar of the Lord your God.”
This speaks of idolatry, not landscaping. When people start treating certain trees or places as spiritually powerful (for good or evil), they begin slipping into pagan practices.
Even pagans didn’t begin by worshiping trees. They first believed trees had some mysterious power. Then they began making requests to those trees. Eventually, they bowed to them in reverence.
That is how idol worship begins little by little.
Paul also warned that false teachers would prey especially on women who are burdened and emotionally vulnerable:
“… having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.”
False teachings bring:
But the Holy Spirit brings:
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control…”
When your heart is filled with God’s Word, you become peaceful, hopeful, and confident not fearful and superstitious.
Many are being led astray, not by Satan appearing in frightening forms, but by false teachings that sound spiritual. Even if you are born again, you will be vulnerable to deception if you are not grounded in God’s Word.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6
Jesus never taught us to fear plants, animals, or circumstances. He didn’t call us to memorize superstitions. He called us to walk with the Father, to abide in Him, and to seek first His Kingdom.
Even now, the same demonic spirit that led ancient pagans into tree worship is trying to enter the Church through fear and myth. Be watchful.
“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers… nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
If you belong to Christ, no tree, no lizard, no flower, and no sneeze has power over your destiny.
Not by knowing the devil, but by knowing Christ.
God bless you.
Shalom, servant of God.Let us today explore the Gospel the power of God that brings salvation. Our focus will be on the power of the resurrection found in Jesus Christ. This is a vital topic for every believer and non believer alike.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus Himself makes a powerful declaration:
John 5:25–29 (ESV)“Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son also to have life in Himself.And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear His voiceand come out those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.”
These verses clearly show that Jesus has been given divine authority not only to give life but also to judge all humanity. The Father, who raises the dead, has granted this same power to the Son.
As it is written earlier in John 5:21:
“For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He will.”
The Bible speaks of two categories of resurrection:
The Resurrection of Life for those who lived righteously through faith in Christ.
The Resurrection of Judgment for those who rejected God’s truth and lived in sin.
Each person will stand before God and be judged according to their deeds (Revelation 20:12–15). Those not found in the Book of Life will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, which burns with unquenchable fire (Mark 9:43).
One might ask: Why does Jesus raise the wicked only to condemn them? Wouldn’t it be easier to leave them in death and send them to hell from there?
The answer reveals a profound truth: Judgment must be complete, just, and visible.
On that day, the wicked will be resurrected in bodily form with their physical bodies, bones, flesh, eyes, and hearts. They will stand face to face with the Lord and give an account of their lives (Romans 14:10–12). This will not be a spiritual encounter only; it will be a literal, physical judgment before the Great White Throne.
Even the Lake of Fire is not merely for souls it is a place where both body and soul will suffer eternal punishment (Matthew 10:28).
When you reflect deeply on these verses, you’ll discover a critical truth:Resurrection in itself is not the ultimate blessing everyone will be resurrected, both the righteous and the wicked. What matters most is:Why are you being resurrected?
Is your resurrection unto eternal life?Or is it unto eternal condemnation?
There is a resurrection already taking place not of the body, but of the spirit. Right now, many people are hearing the voice of the Son of God through the preaching of the Gospel. Some are being spiritually awakened to eternal life, and others are being awakened only to reject the truth and in doing so, are heading toward judgment.
Ephesians 5:14 (KJV)“Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.”
Some hear the message, and their hearts are pierced. They recognize their sinful state and repent, receiving new life in Christ. These are resurrected to life they are born again (John 3:3–6), becoming new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17).
But others hear the same message, and though their conscience confirms the truth, they deliberately choose darkness over light:
John 3:19 (ESV)“…the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.”
These are individuals who are spiritually resurrected not to embrace life, but to face judgment. They have been enlightened, yet refuse to repent.
Even today, many sinners receive the grace of hearing the voice of God in their hearts. They are convicted of sin and even acknowledge that Jesus is the only way to life (John 14:6). Yet, they deliberately continue in rebellion. This is a dangerous state the resurrection they have experienced is not unto life, but unto judgment.
The Apostle Paul, through the Holy Spirit, describes this clearly:
Romans 1:18–32 (ESV)“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them… so they are without excuse…They knew God, but did not honor Him as God…Therefore God gave them up to the lusts of their hearts…They exchanged the truth about God for a lie…And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind…”
These people had the light of truth revealed to them, but they chose to walk in rebellion. The light they received did not lead to salvation but to further condemnation.
Just like a doctor who understands the damage of alcohol and tobacco yet still indulges in them, some believers know the truth about sin, even have had visions, dreams, or warnings of hell but they still refuse to repent.
Such individuals are walking in a resurrection of judgment. They have seen the light but rejected it.
Sometimes, God resurrects a person’s career, health, or finances. But if the person remains unchanged spiritually, continuing in sin and pride, then even that “resurrection” is a sign of coming judgment.
Proverbs 1:32 (KJV)“…the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.”
A true resurrection of blessing is one that leads to greater holiness, greater obedience, and a closer walk with God.
If God has been speaking to your heart perhaps many times don’t ignore His voice. Don’t find excuses to justify your sin. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Jesus welcomes sinners. If you repent, He will forgive completely without hesitation or condemnation. You will become new in His sight.
Once you repent, turn away from all known sin. This is how you experience the resurrection of life in Christ.
Then, obey Jesus by being baptized:
Acts 2:38 (KJV)“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Biblical baptism is immersion in water, in the name of Jesus Christ. After baptism, the Lord will fill you with His Holy Spirit, who will help you overcome sin and guide you into all truth.
Ephesians 5:14“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
So, arise now. Repent. Be baptized. Commit fully to Christ. Let your resurrection be unto life, not unto judgment.
The Lord bless you richly.
“Understanding God’s Eternal Purpose through Christ”
Shalom, beloved of God. It is by the Lord’s great mercy that we are alive today. Therefore, we must give thanks and continue to learn His word while we still have the opportunity. Today, I invite you to reflect with me on a profound topic from Scripture.“The Dispensation of the Fullness of Time.” What does this mean? When will it happen? What is its relevance to our lives?
Let’s begin with the words of the Apostle Paul:
Ephesians 1:9-11 (NKJV) “Having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth in Him. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.”
In simpler translations, verse 10 is rendered like this:
“When the time is right, God will gather together all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” (Ephesians 1:10, NLT/ERV)
This reveals that God has a fixed time a “fullness of time” when He will bring together everything, both spiritual and physical, heavenly and earthly, under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
If we truly know Christ His supremacy and authority then Christianity will not just be a religious label. It will transform how we live. Many today live lukewarm and compromised lives while still identifying as Christians. This reveals a lack of true revelation of who Jesus is, and why He came.
Some only think of Christ as the one who died on the cross, ascended, and is waiting in heaven to return. While these are true, they are incomplete if we don’t understand the greater eternal plan that God is working through Christ.
John 14:2-3 (NIV) “In my Father’s house are many rooms… I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me…”
Jesus came to accomplish a threefold reconciliation:
Originally, the Jews (Israel) were God’s chosen people. Gentiles (non Jews) were alienated and excluded from God’s promises. But through Jesus, we who were once far away have been brought near by His blood.
Ephesians 2:13-19 (NIV) “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ… For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one… His purpose was to create in Himself one new humanity… Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of His household.”
Through Christ, all believers are one no longer separated by ethnicity, heritage, or status. This is a divine privilege and grace!
Sin separated mankind from God. But through Jesus’ sacrificial death, that separation has been removed. We are no longer strangers to God, but children in His house.
2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (NKJV) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation… Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation…”
Now, believers can enter God’s presence freely no longer needing a human priest to mediate.
Hebrews 10:19 (ESV) “Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus…”
Jesus came not just to save individuals, but to unite creation itself heaven and earth under His authority.
Colossians 1:19-20 (NIV) “For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross.”
This cosmic reconciliation is what Paul calls “the dispensation of the fullness of time” when all things will be summed up in Christ.
When Jesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2), He referred to three key “dwelling places”:
Believers are already seated with Christ in the spiritual realm.
Ephesians 2:6 (NKJV) “…and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
We await glorified, incorruptible bodies.
1 Corinthians 15:52-53 (NIV) “…we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable…”
Our final home is not in “heaven” forever, but on a renewed earth where heaven and earth are joined.
Revelation 21:1-3 (ESV) “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth… Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people…”
This is when Christ will unite all things spiritual and physical in Himself.
If you’re not reconciled:
Then how will you share in the fullness of what Christ is preparing?
You can’t inherit the promises of Abraham if you remain disconnected from Christ, the true seed (Galatians 3:29). The time is short. We are near the completion of God’s plan Christ is at the door.
Now is the time to respond to stop straddling between two worlds.
Acts 2:38 (ESV) “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins…”
This is the only New Testament baptism pattern (see also Acts 8:16, 10:48, 19:5). Once you do this, God will give you the gift of the Holy Spirit, who will empower you to walk in truth.
John 16:13 (NIV) “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth…”
1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV) “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
These things are offered freely by grace. You don’t need to fill out applications or qualify through worldly means. Christ offers this freely right where you are, now.
Don’t delay. The time of grace is almost over. The dispensation of the fullness of time is near. Christ is ready to bring everything under God’s eternal order.
Make your decision now. Eternity is real. Death is certain. But life in Christ is available.
May the Lord bless you richly as you obey.
Shalom, dear child of God. Welcome to today’s teaching from the Word of God. By the grace of the Lord, we will explore a divine revelation hidden within the parables of the Kingdom of Heaven. Our foundation comes from the Gospel of Matthew:
Matthew 13:45–46 (ESV) “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”
This parable was spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ as He taught the crowds about the nature of the Kingdom of Heaven. If we study carefully, we will see how Jesus often used earthly illustrations familiar to His audience to convey the profound truths of the Kingdom. This tells us that many earthly activities, whether righteous or even corrupt, can contain spiritual principles and hidden wisdom of God.
That’s why, for instance:
Of course, this does not mean God approves of sin, but that divine wisdom can be gleaned from even the most unlikely scenarios.
A pearl is a precious gem. Unlike gold or diamonds that are mined from the earth, pearls originate from the sea. They are formed inside certain marine creatures known as oysters. Oysters are not fish in the usual sense they do not swim, they have no fins, tails, or eyes. They sit still at the bottom of the sea, resembling lifeless stones. Because of this, they are hard to detect.
A pearl starts forming as a tiny grain of sand or irritant inside the oyster. Over time, the oyster secretes a substance around this grain, gradually forming a pearl. The bigger the pearl grows, the greater its value.
Harvesting pearls is a labor-intensive and costly process. Pearl divers go deep into the ocean, risking their lives, spending hours or even days searching for oysters. And even when found, it takes skill to open the oyster and retrieve the pearl inside.
Because of their rarity and beauty, pearls are extremely valuable. A single, large, high quality pearl can be worth up to 250 million Tanzanian shillings that’s just one pearl!
In Jesus’ parable, a merchant discovers a pearl of great value. Upon recognizing its worth, he sells everything he owns to buy it.
Jesus wasn’t simply telling a story; He was revealing a powerful spiritual truth. The merchant represents a person who is actively searching for something valuable truth, meaning, salvation. When he finds the Pearl representing Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God he realizes it’s worth everything he has. He willingly gives up all to obtain it.
Notice: the merchant was a businessman a person seeking profit. He didn’t give up everything out of foolishness, but because he saw the eternal value of what he was gaining. He understood that even though he was selling all he had, he would gain much more in return.
Similarly, Jesus is the Pearl of great value. He is freely offered to all, but He is not found or possessed cheaply.
Luke 14:33 (ESV) “So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.”
Though salvation is a gift, accepting it comes with a cost: total surrender. That means turning away from all sin and worldly attachments that separate us from God.
Like the merchant, we must “sell” everything. This doesn’t mean physical possessions necessarily, but everything that competes with Christ in our hearts. That includes:
To “sell all” means to repent truly turn away from sin and fully embrace Christ as Lord and Savior.
Luke 14:26–27 (ESV) “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.”
These are hard words but Jesus is making it clear: following Him is costly, but the reward is far greater.
If you’ve never surrendered your life to Christ, or if you’re living with one foot in the world and one foot in the church, this is a wake-up call. You cannot have both the pleasures of this world and the eternal life of the next.
There are no shortcuts to the Kingdom. The way of the cross is the only way to eternal life.
Mark 10:28–30 (ESV) “Peter began to say to him, ‘See, we have left everything and followed you.’ Jesus said, ‘Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.’”
Yes, following Jesus may cost you friends, opportunities, popularity, or wealth but you gain eternal life and true joy, starting now.
1.Repent sincerely. Turn away from all sin. Stop doing what offends God. If you were involved in sexual sin, drunkenness, corruption, pride leave it all behind.
2.Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
Acts 2:38 (ESV) “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Baptism must be by full immersion in water and in Jesus’ name not just as a tradition, but for the washing away of sin.
3.Receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit empowers you to live in victory over sin and teaches you the truth.
When you do this, you are born again, a new creation in Christ. You become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven and a possessor of the Pearl of Great Price Jesus Himself.
Jesus is calling us to be wise spiritual merchants those who recognize the eternal worth of the Kingdom and are willing to give up everything to obtain it.
He is not calling us to misery but to a far greater reward. He calls us to give up the temporary so we may gain the eternal. He wants us to gain a treasure so valuable that nothing in this life can compare.
Philippians 3:8 (ESV) “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.”
Dear reader, if you haven’t given your life fully to Jesus Christ, today is the day. He is worth far more than you can imagine.
May the Lord bless you richly as you pursue the Pearl of Great Value Jesus Christ.
