When Jesus speaks of eternal life, we’re conditioned to think of the afterlife. And while I think this term speaks of heaven, I think this serves as a dual indication for life practices as well. That if you fail to follow His words, you will not have life. In today’s world, the term “I have

Reading from June 19. And yes, it’s been awhile. If you believe in God, He will give you life. That is, take you away from misery, pull you through the trials of life. It’s not always easy to be optimistic in a world that, to me, pulls you down more than supports you. Kicks you

When Jesus is found after being overlooked by his parents, this confirms many different things. Jesus tells us that He’s in His Father’s house, so we know He comes from divine.
