  • A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:31-35).

    What do you see when you look at the cross? You have the God you see there. If you see a God angry with sin, full of wrath for sinners, you have that God. It is indeed sin that put Jesus on that cross. But, on the other hand, if you see a God who loves you so much that he went to that cross, embraced it, climbed up on it and held himself there in order to keep hold of you, you have that God. You have a God of love.

    I’ve noticed that the crucifix is an interesting thing in modern American Christianity. American Christians love the baby Jesus in the manger, but they sometimes don’t like Jesus on the cross. I’ve even heard some argue that an empty cross is better than a crucifix, because Jesus rose. Using that logic, though, an empty manger would be better, too. If you want something empty, the tomb is the way to go. The point of the manger is that Jesus was in it. The point of the cross is that Jesus was on it. He loved us enough that he died and on that third day arose Again. That's why we love people to the cross not away from it

  • The Desire

    The Desire
    2024/11/03

    In Deuteronomy 4:29-31, Moses urges obedience. I wonder, where has the passion, conviction, desire, and urgency gone in the body of Christ? Have we forgotten the simplicity of seeking the Holy Spirit and God's presence? Has our religiosity distracted us from seeking Jesus? Or have we surrendered? Scripture reminds us: draw near to God (James 4:8), seek Him wholeheartedly (Jeremiah 29:13)

  • The Sacrifice

    The Sacrifice
    2024/10/27

    This morning, I'd like to emphasize that following Jesus comes with a significant cost, as illustrated in John 12:1-8. In this passage, we observe several remarkable events, including Lazarus's resurrection, courtesy of Jesus's powerful call. We also witness Judas's true nature, as Scripture reveals his thieving tendencies in verse 6. Judas objects to the expensive ointment used to anoint Jesus's feet, suggesting it could have been sold for 300 pence, equivalent to approximately $45 today. Furthermore, Mary's selfless act of washing Jesus's feet with her hair showcases her profound love and devotion to Him. The Sacrifice was worth it all.

    Yearn
    2024/10/20

    Do you yearn for Jesus, experiencing an intense longing for Him? Are you in God's desired place, seeking Him in quiet moments with a deep yearning? We often get entangled in life, forgetting our yearning for God. Some have put their relationship with Jesus on a shelf, only revisiting it on Sundays, with prayer lives focused on empty promises and self-serving desires. This replaces the genuine yearning for Jesus to change the world, instead driven by politics and domination.
