«When God withdrew»
At noon, the scene of the cross was enveloped in darkness until three in the afternoon.

«The most illegal act»
The passion and death of Jesus is the greatest act of injustice in the history of humanity.

«Children or grandchildren of God?»
John the Baptist drew attention to the Jews by saying, “Don’t just say to each other that you’re safe because you’re descendants of Abraham. That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.” What John was conveying was that no one could be assured of salvation based…

«Forgiveness in the sanctuary»
Jesus was speaking with His disciples and instructed them, “When you are praying, first forgive anyone against whom you hold a grudge, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive your sins.” Prayer is not just for asking God for things. Here we find a less discussed function of this spiritual exercise. It also…

«The good shepherd»
Jesus was at the climax of his life. He was on the Mount of Olives with his disciples. Then he said to them, “All of you will be scandalized because of me this night; for it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.” The Lord was referring to the…
