Each one perceived the cross and the crucifixion of Jesus differently. For some in meant weakness and for others foolishness. Here is the discovery of the reality of the crucifixion and how it can affect every life.

The bread and the wine which Jesus shared with His disciples was different from every other meal. The emphasis on it's significance explains the true reason why He suffered and died. The new covenant was instituted that night for all mankind.

The events immediately preceding, during and following the triumphal entry of Jesus as recorded by the gospel author Mark show us how Jesus expects our submission as the King of our lives, attributes Lordship to Himself by exercising authority and attests Himself to be the Messiah by saving us from our sins and expecting true fruitfulness in return.

One can be far or near yet outside the kingdom of God. But, the call is to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus, and enter His kingdom and experience the peace, joy and the blessings of the kingdom of God.

While Jesus was on the earth, He visited several households for different purposes. Today, He is calling on us to follow His example by visiting the homes of people who are both known or unknown to us and showing them the love of Jesus, teaching them the whole truth, to bring deliverance in their lives and to lead them to salvation.

God raises critical questions, exposes them to realities, and leads them to take the right steps to draw them back to himself. He continues to love them faithfully and satisfies them with an assurance of great fruitfulness.

For most people going thru hurt, reproach, and humiliation, the effects of it last for a long time. Often, some retaliate, some just feel helpless and continue to suffer. But, there is a God in heaven who will execute justice in His time.

God saved us so that we might reflect Him to the people around us. We can garner the characteristics of Jesus that we are called to imitate from the four Gospels. When we inculcate Jesus' teachings in every aspect of our lives, we will be fulfilling God's purpose for our salvation!

The story of the Bible is not a fragmented one. It is one story of God's eternal plan recorded and handed down thru the ages. His community, the Church is understood from this big picture. All can be a part of His plan for the world.

When God has given His word and made His ways known, we respond and say, Yes Lord. His mercies are unfathomable. He has withheld and delayed all His wrath and reveals His power. All we can say is, Yes Lord!
