In the Life of Christ One of the recurring themes in the life of Jesus is His invitation to trust Him before all the evidence is visible.

Faith That Walks Before It Understands
In the Life of Christ “Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:4 When Habakkuk wrote, “the just shall live by his faith,” he was speaking into a world that did not make sense to him. Violence was rising, injustice seemedContinue reading “Faith That Walks Before It Understands”

Living Water for Thirsty Souls
In the Life of Christ One of the most beautiful moments in the earthly ministry of Jesus occurs beside a well in Samaria. At first glance, the encounter appears ordinary.

Faith That Refuses to Stop Calling
In the Life of Christ One of the qualities I admire most in the life of Jesus is the way He responded to sincere faith. Matthew 9:27-31 tells the story of two blind men who followed Jesus, crying out, “Son of David, have mercy on us.” Their blindness had not silenced their hope. They couldContinue reading “Faith That Refuses to Stop Calling”
The Day Abraham Saw Christ
In the Life of Christ One of the most remarkable statements Jesus ever made is found in John 8:56: “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.” The religious leaders listening to Jesus were stunned. Abraham had lived nearly two thousand years earlier. How could Abraham possibly haveContinue reading “The Day Abraham Saw Christ”
When Jesus Teaches Us to Trust Beyond What We Can See
In the Life of Christ “Have faith in God.” — Mark 11:22 There is something striking about the timing of Jesus’ words in Mark 11. He had just cursed the barren fig tree, and by the next morning the disciples were astonished to see it withered from the roots. Peter could hardly believe what stoodContinue reading “When Jesus Teaches Us to Trust Beyond What We Can See”
