When Jesus provided it was never in the way people expected.  In feeding the 5000, his disciples were perplexed – they were too far away from any city, they had no food trucks, no money to feed the mass of people, but Jesus insisted that they extend...

Any lunatic or megalomaniac can claim to be god, and many genuinely believe that they can become a god in the hereafter. Jesus was no lunatic and hardly a megalomaniac and he proved it by performing signs and wonders. Make no mistake however! These signs were hardly slight of hand or magical illusions. They were miracles through and through.

“Why does God even care at all about me, that he should pay for my sins?” The answer is simple. When an artist paints a beautiful piece, it’s the artist – not the canvas or even the picture – that gets the accolades.

It’s not a get out of jail free card. It’s not fire insurance. And it’s certainly not permission to live loosely. Grace is a gift – a beautiful, precious, expensive gift that should never be trampled on. During the Reformation, Protestants boldly asserted that salvation was a free gift, and those who were fleecing the flock were furious.

The Reformation was a tumultuous time. People were oppressed by greedy land barons and a greedy church. Not only were they heavily burdened socially and economically, they were burdened with the impossible task of working for their salvation. What’s more, the rules for achieving heaven changed daily! Then, people started reading the bible and learned that even without the widespread corruption, it was impossible to please God. The burden was too great. Imagine their joy when they discovered a little word called “faith.”
