Sin’s weight, truth denied,God’s wrath shown, yet grace remains,Faith’s path, hope’s new start.
Luke Haiku
Shepherd’s song rings out,Mercy’s tale, a gentle touch,Christ’s love, rising high.
John 6:25-58: The Bread of Life
Introduction This passage is one of the most challenging and profound in the Gospel of John. Jesus’s language about eating his flesh and drinking his blood caused confusion and even offence among his listeners. However, it’s crucial to understand this passage within its context and through the lens of the Old Testament and other New […]
You are Peter
There is a very interesting moment in John’s gospel chapter one. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter). John 1 v 42. Don’t you think this is a bizarre moment? How many times have you had someone walk up to […]
The Most Important Death in History
It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, while the sun’s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he […]
Spiritual Families
Ever feel like you don’t quite fit in? Or maybe you’re looking for a sense of belonging? Check out Matthew 12:50: “For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” That’s Jesus saying that our spiritual family is just as real – and maybe even more so […]
Doing more than you did at first
Alright, let’s talk about a cool bit from the Bible, Revelation 2:19. It’s about a church where God says, “I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.” Imagine that! God noticing you’re putting in more effort now than you […]
“Look, the Lamb of God!” – John 1:29
Imagine the scene: John the Baptist, a powerful voice in the wilderness, sees Jesus walking towards him. And he doesn’t hold back. He shouts, “Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” That’s huge! John recognised Jesus for who He truly was: the one who came to fix everything that’s […]
Love: The Superpower of a Christian Life
And the final L is love. We’ve looked at the tongue and at lies but for the last one it is love. Love ties all this together. If we love then we will hold our tongue, we will not lie and we will live to love and show kindness. But what is love. It’s a […]
Finding the Narrow Path
Life throws a lot at us, doesn’t it? Choices, distractions, and sometimes it feels like everyone’s heading in one direction. Jesus, though, gives us a clear picture in Matthew 7:13-14: there’s a wide gate and an easy road that leads to destruction, and a narrow gate and difficult road that leads to life. It’s tempting […]
What does God want?
Ever feel like figuring out what God wants from us is super complicated? Well, check this out: Galatians 5:14 says, “For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment, namely, ‘You must love your neighbour as yourself.’” Basically, it boils down to love. Love for God, and love for each other. It’s […]
Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, […]
