A Night Visitor

Most of the time Jesus was surrounded by ordinary people but now we see Him in contact with one of the aristocrats of Jerusalem. Nicodemus was undoubtedly rich, because when Jesus died, he brought His body and anointed it with expensive myrrh and aloe. He was also a Pharisee. In a certain sense they were

God Knows The Heart

So, the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?” He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written: “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are

Being Grateful

Non on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, Jesus, Master, have pity on us! When he saw them, he said, “Go, show

The Great Discovery

“Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samarians  worship what you do not know, we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers
