“Turn around and walk with Jesus!”
In the book of Luke, chapter 24, we read the story of two disciples of Jesus walking away from Jerusalem on the road to Emmaus. In this fascinating and absorbing encounter, we see the nature of Jesus and how He interacts with the disciples, and we also see the hearts of the disciples and their […]
“Where are my people?”
The greatest day in history when Jesus rose from the grave. He defeated death by dying on a cross and three days later became the ‘First fruits’ of mankind to be raised from the dead. But, when He rose, where were his disciples? Some believed, some were in shock, some were hiding, and others had […]
‘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 […]

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 […]
