Do You Want to See Jesus?
“Do you want to see Jesus?” There was man named Zacchaeus who wanted to see him. No doubt he had heard about him as word had spread about this man who was a miracle worker. Some called him the Messiah! What was Zacchaeus to make of this? He was a wealthy man and tax collector. […]
Slaves to Righteousness

The Resurrection and the Life

Jesus Has Not Left His Post
Today I have been thinking about the scripture that tells us that Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father. After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up to heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. (Mark 16:19) In today’s world, that is chaotic, do you ever […]
