Kingdoms that are divided cannot stand. He comes to bring communion to our division and to plunder the strong man’s house that we might be set free!

Jesus has happiness figured out! Do I believe this? I said that His words are “spirit and life” and I am reminded that a body with no head cannot live. St. Luke wrote his gospel for me. Do I have certainty in what he reveals Jesus comes to give me and all of humanity?

Jesus likes you! And He wants to be with you.

What is the new name that He calls me? Witnesses to hope know the name He speaks; they invite Him, humble themselves before Him, and follow Him to the Cross.
