In the Life There is something unsettling about watching Jesus kneel. In John 13, the One who spoke galaxies into existence wrapped a towel around His waist and washed the dirt from the feet of men who would soon fail Him. Peter would deny Him. Thomas would doubt Him.

The King with the Towel
In the Life There are moments in the life of Jesus that stop us in our tracks, and John 13 is one of them. We expect the King of kings to stand in majesty, to command angels, or to silence His enemies with a word. Instead, we find Him kneeling on a dusty floor withContinue reading “The King with the Towel”
Loving the People Who Test Us
In the Life There are seasons in life when relationships begin to feel less like blessings and more like burdens. We love people, yet at times we also feel trapped by their habits, failures, wounds, or personalities. Max Lucado humorously calls this condition “stuckitis,” but beneath the humor is something painfully real. Many of usContinue reading “Loving the People Who Test Us”
The Light Left On
In the Life One of the most encouraging yet challenging truths in Scripture is that Jesus Christ does not simply save us from sin; He comes to dwell within us. Paul writes, “Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). That statement almost feels too large for the human mind to fully grasp. When I look honestlyContinue reading “The Light Left On”

The Steady Pursuit of the Father’s Will
A Day in the Life “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” — Matthew 3:15 There is something insightful about watching the consistency of Jesus throughout His earthly life. From childhood to the cross, there was never a moment when He drifted from the will of the Father. When Jesus stood in theContinue reading “The Steady Pursuit of the Father’s Will”
Falling at His Feet
There is something deeply revealing about the moments people fell at the feet of Jesus. They were not simply overcome with emotion or religious excitement. They were responding to the unmistakable realization that they were standing in the presence of God Himself. Matthew tells us that when the wise men entered the house and sawContinue reading “Falling at His Feet”
When Heaven Interrupts Fear
A Day in the Life “Do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.” — Gospel of Matthew 1:20 There are moments in life when obedience to God feels dangerous to our reputation, our security, and even our understanding of reality.Continue reading “When Heaven Interrupts Fear”
The Chapters You Cannot See
A Day in the Life One of the most revealing moments in the life of Jesus occurred when the religious leaders dragged a woman caught in adultery before Him in John 8. They stood ready to condemn her, stones in hand and judgment already settled in their minds. Yet Jesus stooped down and wrote inContinue reading “The Chapters You Cannot See”
