It is difficult to comprehend how God’s ‘chosen one in whom He delights’ (Isaiah 42 v 1) could so soon become the one who has no attractiveness and is despised and rejected and from whom people hide their faces! In today’s second reading in Isaiah 53, God through His holy prophet, confronts each of us, […]
In our first reading today (1 Samuel 17) we have the wonderful story that has inspired every boy’s (and girl’s?) imagination—David and Goliath. At the end of the chapter, there is an exchange that occurs between king Saul and his army commander, Abner, concerning David. David is summoned and stands before king Saul: “Whose son […]
In our New Testament reading today (Revelation 1, 2), we see through John’s eyes, a wonderful picture of our Lord and Master. There is something which we might almost overlook, but which should be encouraging! John turns to hear the one addressing him and sees seven golden lampstands (ch 1 v 12). What comes next […]

The preaching of the coming kingdom of God on earth and the name of Jesus Christ made up all that one needs to know before he or she is baptized. We see this in Acts 8:12. It is remarkable to note that all the Bible passages speak of the same kingdom of God and no […]
About 8 feet on the foot of calvary, that’s how high the stake or cross where Jesus hung was. At this point Yeshua/Jesus had impaired vision as a result of the severe loss of blood from the piercings on his feet and hands. To worsen the situation for the suffering servant, people down below yelled […]

Prophecy time (You have to be really interested in true Bible prophecy and the gospel to read to the end) : Isa 25:6-11 ISV 6 “On this mountain, the LORD of the Heavenly Armies will prepare for all peoples a banquet of rich food, a banquet of well-aged wines— rich food full of marrow, and […]
