The first followers of Jesus were on fire to share His life, and the truth of what He has won for: eternal life! They couldn't help speaking about Jesus, because they witnessed His Resurrection from the dead! We are on fire with good news of Jesus Christ the same way; through what we have seen and heard!

If you were an eyewitness to the most important events in the history of world, that changed everything for everyone, you would not keep what you heard and what you saw to yourself. You would not remain silent. You would not remain still. You would be en fuego, on fire, to tell, to share, to risk, to go!

Christ is Risen! He has Risen Indeed Alleluia!!!

On the night that Jesus is betrayed he shares one last passover meal with his disciples and shares some very important commands with them. On top of it all he gives them something to assure them for the times they fall short with the certain forgiveness of their sins.

Jesus rides into Jerusalem that first Palm Sunday, causing a stir in the crowd. When Jesus stirs our hearts and minds, important things happen: We seek Him, and ask the most important question in our lives...Who is He?

Love brings great fulfillment and comfort. But it can also bring deep regret if we do not love well. When Peter does not love Jesus well, Jesus gives him the opportunity to be restored. He gives up the same opportunity.

What do you do when you you’ve experienced a terrible tragedy or loss and you feel like you will never be able to smile again? Paul, himself in the middle of a very difficult time as he languishes in prison, is able to write, “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4). We can learn from Paul’s source of joy which is not in the circumstances of life but in a person named Jesus.

We probably all have things we did in our younger years that we regret now that we’re older. King David wrote Psalm 25. Even though he committed grave sins God remembered him according to His love not David’s sins. David speaks of the descendants of the man who fears the Lord; they will inherit the land. David’s descendants lead ultimately to Jesus. Through Jesus we inherit the land, despite the sins of our youth.

Even people who seem to have strong faith sometimes doubt. This was the case even with John the Baptist. John the Baptist wondered out loud if Jesus was the Messiah. Perhaps you struggle with doubt and you wonder if you can ever be forgiven for your doubt. Jesus spoke to John’s doubts lovingly. He speaks to our doubts in the same way.

With all the things clamoring for our time and attention, it is easy for our priorities to become misplaced. We worry about temporal things more than eternal things. Jesus reminds us that the things of heaven always out to outweigh the worries of this world.
