Sitting at Jesus’ feet reflects a humility that says I need and have a desire to learn.

The battleground of the mind comes down to not settling for anything less than knowing (and loving) Him in order to become more like Him.

The uniqueness of Jesus’ birth gives insight into Who He is and another reason to receive Him as One sent from God. Fulfilled prophecy is a strong reason to place our faith in Jesus

As Jesus was to Thomas, “Be merciful to those who doubt”

Forgiveness is a process that can take time and may even need to be revised.

Following Jesus is embracing His agenda over our own.

Whatever Jesus commands us to do is simple in concept, not always easy at the time, BUT can be done by every Christian.

It is not the messenger, but the message that matters, for truth doesn’t change.

We are not being told to withhold all judgement, but to be aware of the standard by which we judge.

It is only in how we live differently than the world around us that the world can see the light of Christ in us.
