"Jesus & Women"


"In first-century Palestine, the way Jesus treated women was considered revolutionary."

The Messiah fully loved and respected E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E, regardless of social norms ... All are His children!

"Travels and Acts of Jesus"


"The travels and acts of Jesus have been compiled from 'Gospel Harmonies.' Although there are discrepancies, the following itineraries and maps give an indication of Jesus' movements over these three years."

(Just follow the numbers on the maps -- VERY educational.)

"He Satisfies"


"With lovingkindness to His own,
With mercies full and free,
The blessed Saviour satisfies,
He satisfieth me.

He satisfies the longing soul,
His hungry sheep are fed,
To pastures green He leadeth them,
By waters still they're led.

With marrow and with fatness, and
With honey from the Rock,
The Shepherd ever satisfies,
And careth for His flock.

My people shall be satisfied,
'Tis God who speaks the Word,
My goodness and My mercies will
Be with them, saith the Lord.

For riches cannot satisfy,
Nor gold nor silver can,
'Tis only Jesus satisfies,
And fills the heart of man.

He satisfies continually,
Each moment of the day,
His love can fill your longing soul,
And care for you alway.

Oh yes! My Saviour satisfies,
As nothing else can do;
The Chiefest of ten thousand,
He Can satisfy you too.

The altogether lovely One,
O won't you taste and see?
For Jesus ever satisfies, He satisfieth me. "

"What Jesus Said on the Cross"


This is a very insightful, well-written treatise that examines the sayings of Our Lord during His crucifixtion.

The last paragraph gave me goosebumps (literally):

"Jesus always had a soft spot in his heart for people who wanted to improve their lives. One of the most considerate statements he made while on the cross served to show that second chances are always possible. While speaking with a thief who had been condemned to die beside him, Jesus admires the man's faith in his ministry, despite the fact that he was a criminal responsible for living a sinful life. He encourages the man, as they are both near death, by saying, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise (Luke 23:43)."

"Jesus as the Rose of Sharon"


Is Jesus the Rose of Sharon talked about in the Old Testament?

This deep-thinking writer certainly seems to think so:

"I feel like God may be trying to tell us that Jesus will go one step further. Instead of Jesus being the one who would 'give' us the flowers as we have in our normal human relationships, Jesus is actually referred to as the flower itself! And with the rose being the most perfect of all flowers, God is telling us that His Son Jesus is the Rose of Sharon rather than just having Him be the One to just give us this rose flower due to His perfect nature and perfect love that He has for all of us."

More of this insightful discussion at the link.

"What does it mean to pray in Jesus' name?"


What does it really mean? That, if we pray hard enough and 'right' enough, we will get whatever we want? This has evidently been a stumper for many folks -- especially me. Good little article.
