Why is Good Friday called Good Friday? Because it should’ve been me on the cross for my sins but He did it. I was the criminal. I was set free. I had broken all of the commandments at least in thought. Hatred in your heart is a murderous heart. I was definitely guilty of that.Continue reading “Barabbas is ME”

James, the brother of Jesus wasn’t a follower of his half brother until after His resurrection. I guess all doubts James may have had about Jesus disappeared when He went from dead to not dead. The resurrection matters. Imagine being James and your brother has died and your mother is really upset. Three days later….Continue reading “Resurrection Sunday”

Often people don’t say greetings on Good Friday because they don’t know what to say. We may have mixed feelings because Jesus died on that day for us. He took our punishment; be glad and grateful. We’ve all had bad days. Do you know the type of day I’m talking about you come home andContinue reading “Sunday is coming”

There’s only a couple more days until Good Friday which is when Jesus instituted the observance of communion. Let’s talk about the elements of communion: the bread and the wine.

As Good Friday is almost upon us, the Easter story isn’t about a bunny, but a lamb. A lamb who was without blemish and sacrificed for us. Jesus, the Messiah, was predicted to come in the Old Testament, or as the Jewish Bible is called, the Tanahk. Was Jesus a fulfillment of the Old TestamentContinue reading “Messiah?”

People want judgment! They just are uneasy about it. They want evil to be punished. They want murderers and rapists to be punished severely. Furthermore, they don’t think that they themselves are bad and in need of punishment. That’s deception. If God is to punish others that means all sinners. A lot of people believeContinue reading “Judgey”

Ever been duped? Did you feel silly about being duped? Or did you feel angry? If I’m being honest, I have felt both! People who trick others generally do not have other peoples’ best intentions in mind. They do it with intention to harm. On occasion they do it unintentionally, but for the most partContinue reading “Duped”

Sometimes one chance is all you get. My eyes are wet. I can’t stop the rainfall from my eyes. I don’t know what to think. I woke up to either bad or good news today and I don’t know which it is. I won’t know until the day I close my eyes for the veryContinue reading “One chance”
