‘Crushed’ – for you.
In the Old Testament, the book of the prophet Isaiah shows much detail, of the forthcoming Saviour to the people Israel and the world! Of course we are talking about Jesus! We read of exact details of how Jesus arrives, as an unassuming individual, how he is rejected and then led to a death as […]
Jesus – our substitute.
From the Gospel of John, chapter 19 verse 30, we read the following profound statement: – “When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished”, and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. He said “It is finished” and He gave up His Spirit. Jesus surrendered it up for us. Jesus had completed […]
Setting your mind on the things of God.
In Matthew 13, from verses 21 we read:- 21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it […]
Where is your treasure?
We see in the Bible, many instances of Jesus speaking about wealth and possessions! In Matthew 6 verse 21, he sums up by saying, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Indeed it is!! There can be many things in this world that our eyes covet and desire, that can consume […]
Break the ‘yoke’ of darkness – walk in the light!
In our walk in life, we can be yoked with many things. Jesus says in Matthew 11, verses 28 to 30, –“Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your […]
Who are we Yoked 2?
Jesus invites each one of us to be yoked to Him (Matthew 11: 28-30). This is not an onerous invitation, it is one of relationship. If we love Him, we will yearn to get close to Him and know more about Him. We already know that He loved us enough to die for us! This may involve us […]
Jesus’ yoke of rest.
Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 ‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.’ What does Jesus […]
“Are we nearly there yet?”
Have you ever longed to be somewhere, or have longed to meet with someone whom you have missed and loved? When you know there is a day that is coming for that time to be fulfilled, are you counting down the days? How excited are you when that day approaches and now you are counting […]
Embrace the Unknown Journey
Continuing from last week and our look at the story of Rebekah on her way to meet Isaac, son of Abraham. We see in verse 58 from chapter 24 in Genesis, Rebekah being asked by her mother and brother whether she would leave at that moment or delay her departure for ten days:- ‘And they […]
Journey to Destiny – “Stay on the camel!”
Life is certainly a journey. A journey that can be unpredictable, with both joy and sadness woven into the fabric of our lives. In the Old Testament, we see a story of a woman called Rebekah. In Genesis 24 we see her living out a daily routine and then out of the blue, a visitor […]
