Weeds Among the Wheat

Jesus helps us understand why difficulty and hardship enters into every Christian’s life and why God’s Kingdom faces such opposition and resistance in this world. “An Enemy has done this,” the farmer tells his servants. In this parable of the weeds among the wheat Jesus urges His church to patient faith in an ungodly world – and quiet, joyful faith in the glorious future when He returns to judge the living and dead – when “the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.”

Come Unto Me – Jesus

Our Savior graciously invites us to come to him and give to him our burdens and troubles. This we must do sincerely, from the heart, truthfully.

Under God’s Wings

One vivid childhood memory of mine is a moment in the chicken, ducks, and geese coral: a garden snake came through it and mama duck summoned all the little yellow ducklings to her. They all ran to the safety of her wings. So the Lord calls us to find safety under His wings.

We Make Disciples

The last words Jesus spoke before his ascension were: “Go and make disciples of all nations”…so we do! The task of the church is to teach the Word of God and baptize, making disciples of all nations.

Must See: Before and After

The disciples must have extended the lease of that upper room in which they ate the Last Supper. They were still there fifty days after the Resurrection, ten days after the Ascension of our Lord. They were fearing for their lives. When the Holy Spirit came on them, they became brave.
