From Sinai to Zion
Our journey with God goes from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion. On Sinai the Lord gave us his law. Zion is heaven. Our journey goes through Mount Golgotha where Jesus died for our sins and opened for us the way to heaven.
Saints Cheer Us On!
The author of Hebrews mentions people who were before our time and who lived their faith. There are many. We are surrounded by them and they push us to emulate their example.
Faith and Anxiety Do Not Mix
Our Lord Jesus Christ assures us that our food and clothing come from God. He never fails. The Father gives us the kingdom of heaven. He will not hold back on earthly needs!
Life-Not Wealth
A person’s life does not consist on the abundance of possessions. Those who focus on abundance never feel that they have enough. True riches are found in our relationship with God, when our sin is forgiven and eternal life in heaven is granted.
Rulers and Authorities without Power
Once we were held captives by the power of the evil one. But, by dying on the cross in our stead, Christ disarmed all rulers and authorities and put them to open shame. We now are conquerors of eternal life through Christ.
One Thing Only is Needful
Given a choice between house chores and listening to the Lord speak-choose the latter! Martha was put in her place while Mary was commended for her choice. One thing truly matters: eternal life!
