«Judge, condemn, and forgive»
One of the reasons we speak poorly of others or disqualify them is because we have already been hurt. Jesus said: “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, so that it does not come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.” To judge others is…

«Forgiveness in both senses»
And near the end of His prayer model, Jesus added: “And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.” A very important part of restoring our communion with God is to confess our sins. To sin is to miss the mark, to walk against the Lord’s will, and to face the…

«That they all may be one»
In those days, Jesus went up to the mountain to pray and spent the whole night in the presence of God. When daylight came, He called His disciples and chose twelve of them, whom He also named apostles. For Jesus, it was vital to always be in the presence of God. Through prayer, He received…

«Peace be with you»
On the first day of the week, Jesus rose, and His disciples had already received the first news of what had happened. When evening came, they were all gathered behind closed doors for fear of the Jews. The Savior entered, and standing in their midst, greeted them by saying, “Peace be with you.” After saying…

«The best gift»
Do you long for success in life for your children? God also longs for that for you. Jesus said, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.” The Lord is making a comparison…

«Pray, seek, and knock»
Why do I have to pray multiple times for the same thing? Am I just supposed to wait? The Lord taught His disciples: “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who…

«The silence of Jesus»
When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, He entered the temple, and after looking around at everything, He left because it was already late. But the next day, He returned and began driving out those who were buying and selling animals for sacrifices, saying: “My temple will be called a house of prayer, but you have turned…

«Double miracle»
Jesus was in a completely packed house, preaching the Word of God. Four men arrived, carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher. Since they could not bring him to Jesus, they made a hole in the roof. Then they lowered the man on the stretcher, right in front of the Savior. Seeing their faith, the…

«Our daily bread»
A central part of the “Our Father” prayer deals with our daily needs. Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Some might think this teaching is outdated, as today’s wages are paid weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Following this line of thought, perhaps the correct prayer should be, “Give us this…

«I desire mercy»
One day of rest, while Jesus was walking through some fields, His disciples picked some heads of grain and ate them. Some religious leaders said, “Why are they breaking the law by harvesting grain on the day of rest?” It’s fascinating to highlight what Jesus sees versus what radical people see in the same situation:…
