Jesus is a healer to many in need. Jesus' reputation preceded Him and wherever He went, people placed the sick and lame in His path. The man who was healed was urged by Jesus not to talk about it. Jesus used ordinary touch to heal. Nothing special, no special incantations or rituals. In a high-tech world, we need to be a high-touch church.

In Gethsemane, one can understand how it is difficult for friends to be there for each other. Gethsemane means 'olive press' in Hebrew. Here Jesus faced His difficult task, going into the press of his soul. Never before does one feel all alone than when abandoned by those close.

The foundations of our lives reveal the depth of our faith.

Because we are Christians, we are not better. We are beggars lucky enough to have found food. We must share our newfound food.

God taught the World about agape love in the life, ministry and resurrection of Jesus. We can change the world through agape love.

When we refuse to forgive we entrap ourselves in a prison of sin

We can reach out and do more good when we follow Christ's example of comforting others.

Greatness and Leadership are not achieved through lording power, but through serving others

Our kindness to each other means kindness to Jesus Christ as well.

God's plan is richly on display as we honor one another, whether it is children honoring their parents, adults honoring their elderly parents, people honoring each other or people directly honoring God.
