Jesus Came to Save
When Jesus came two thousand years ago He came as an innocent baby who grew up to be the humble Servant Son of God who takes away the sin of the world. Indeed, God sent Jesus not to judge the world but to save it. Because of Jesus we have this gift of grace from…
The Good Shepherd
In this passage, Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, identifies Himself as the “good shepherd” who lays down His life for His sheep. The majestic Son of God, through whom all things were made (“… apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” John 1:3), identifies Himself as a humble…
God Loves You and Me
The “world” here means the whole world, all creation, but most importantly, humanity; Jesus came to redeem not just the people but the whole world. When He comes again, our present world will be destroyed and the new redeemed world will roll in. There will be a new heaven and a new earth. (Revelation 1:1)…
For These Uncertain Times

Iron Sharpens Iron
It’s a good thing to be able to spar with a friend. I think a good friend is one who not only accepts me for who I am but one who can also challenge my thinking and inspire me with their example. ______________________________ Scripture quotation is from the New American Standard Bible, Bible App by…
What is Sin?
What right thing do I know and have the opportunity to do but still not doing it? I can easily come up with a decent list. Needless to say, God has such a high standard. But hey, that’s why I know I need Jesus as my Savior from sin. He gives me hope that I…
Love Believes All Things
This verse comes from the famous “love chapter” 1 Corinthians 13 of the Bible. It is better understood if we look at the whole passage from which it was taken: 4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it…
