ALL MEN SEEK YOU

DAY 11 Mark 1:37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. There are traits that draw specific groups of people to you. When you become a teacher, you attract students and when you gain wealth, you attract companions or those who are meant to become beneficiaries of... Continue Reading →

HAVE YOUR OWN STYLE

DAY 10 Mark 1:22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. There were many scribes and Pharisees in the days of Scripture, but very few had their actual names recorded - Nicodemus, who came to Jesus by night and Paul's instructor,... Continue Reading →

FEAR GOD AND DO RIGHT

DAY 9 Acts 10:34-35 So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. Two requirements were necessary for men of every nation to be acceptable before God within the context of Him being no respect... Continue Reading →

THE JESUS FAN CLUB

DAY 4 John 1:38 When Jesus turned and saw them, he asked, “What do you want? ”They answered, “Rabbi, where do you live?” The Hebrew word “Rabbi” means “Teacher.” Jesus is rather blunt when he encounters the disciples in today's Gospel for the first time. In no two ways, He asks them 'what do you... Continue Reading →

RESPECTING RANKS

The military is the clearest example of such a field of endeavour where insubordination is frowned upon such that often, even regardless of the circumstances, you are to obey the ranks. John's description of Jesus in today's Gospel is rather telling: This is... Continue Reading →
