«Following from a distance»
They took Jesus and brought Him to the high priest’s house for questioning. There, the chief religious leaders had gathered.

«Healing of body and soul»
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Teacher, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.” At times, we imagine…

«Such a small seed»
Then Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that a man planted in a garden; it grows and becomes a tree, and the birds make nests in its branches.” The mustard seed measures between 0.039 and 0.078 inches in diameter and…

«Is it worth following Jesus?»
When John the Baptist was in prison, he sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” In a moment of crisis, brought on by confinement and threats, John wanted to be sure he had devoted his life to the right person.…

«Greater and lesser sinners»
In those days, they told Jesus that Pilate had killed several people from Galilee while they were offering sacrifices in the temple. “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. “Did they suffer because of that? Not at all. And you too will perish unless…

«Affliction»
Some people think that following Jesus will lead to the disappearance of all their problems. This is dangerously inaccurate and can lead to disappointments or false expectations. Instead, our Savior was completely honest when he declared, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will…

«Jealousy and pride»
Jesus began to say that he would have to endure many terrible things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of religious law. They would kill him, but three days later he would rise again. The strange thing is that those who led and sought his martyrdom and death were…
