Jesus was invited… (John 2:2) 160908

Monday, September 15th, 2008

And Jesus also was invited, and His disciples, to the wedding. (John 2:2)
 
This is one of my key verses of my Eating Theology. The first miracle of Jesus which is recorded in the Gospel is in the midst of a wedding feast! Jesus did not simply go to the wedding feast on His own accordance, [...]

Found in mess… (John 1:41) 150908

He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated means Christ). (John 1:41)

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

And after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God. (Mark 1:14)
 
 
At last, Jesus was stepping out of Nazareth into Galilee, into public ministry. In fact, He was stepping out towards the Cross into the world. He had been living as the son of Mary and brothers of [...]
