AFFINITY WITH THE TRINITY

“Ask now of the days of old, before your time, ever since God created man upon the earth; ask from one end of the sky to the other: Did anything so great ever happen before?” –Deuteronomy 4:32 If we believe in Jesus and accept Him as Lord, we will live eternally in heaven with the Trinity. A million years from now, when time is no more, we will be constantly exhilarated, enthralled, and overwhelmed by the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. His love is everlasting. It is always new, fresh, surprising. We can begin this triune relationship now...

THE WOMAN OF MY DREAMS

“I burned with desire for her.” –Sirach 51:19 It sounds like a preview for a modern movie: “She came to me in her beauty…I became resolutely devoted to her…I burned with desire for her…I became preoccupied with her…I came to know her secrets” (Sir 51:14, 18, 19). Who is this desirable woman of the author’s dreams? She is Lady Wisdom (Sir 51:13). Listen to the author’s testimony concerning Lady Wisdom: Wisdom is innocent. “When I was young and innocent, I sought wisdom” (Sir 51:13). “Wisdom from above…is first of all innocent” (Jas 3:17). Wisdom is also pure. “For her I...

THE FRUIT-BEARING FRUIT OF HOLINESS

“He went over to see if He could find anything on it.” –Mark 11:13 Jesus “inspected everything” in the Temple precincts (Mk 11:11). He was inspecting the spiritual fruit of the Temple worship. We know this from the fact that between visits to the Temple, Jesus inspected a fig tree and cursed it for not bearing fruit (Mk 11:14). Because it is of extreme importance to bear fruit by leading people to Jesus and by receiving the fruit of holiness (see Gal 5:22-23), Jesus is a strict “Fruit Inspector.” Usually, we must bear fruit no matter what the season, or...

HOW TO BE HEALED

“He began to call out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!’?” –Mark 10:47 It’s hard to admit weakness, sin, or even sickness. The blindness of pride often prevents us from being healed of other kinds of blindness. After Bartimaeus began calling out, “many people were scolding him to make him keep quiet, but he shouted all the louder” (Mk 10:48). After we humble ourselves, the next obstacle to healing is often worrying about what other people think of us. Often, to receive healing, it is necessary to look like a fool in the eyes of the world. “Then...

GLORY TO HIS RIGHT AND LEFT

“…one at Your right and the other at Your left, when You come into Your glory.” –Mark 10:37 Sts. James and John asked Jesus if they could be intimate sharers in His glory. They wanted to sit at Jesus’ right and left when He mounted His throne as He came into His glorious reign. James and John didn’t understand that Jesus’ kingly throne was His cross. When Jesus came into His glory on the cross of crucifixion, His inaugural banner read: “Jesus the Nazorean the King of the Jews” (Jn 19:19). Who received the honor of being at Jesus’ right...
