The Angel’s Testimony – Part 2
Some years ago, an angel came to our church and gave his testimony about the birth of Jesus. The event is narrated in Luke 2:8-14. Today, he will continue to tell his story. As I mentioned, I tried to write it down as much as I could. It was a tremendous experience for all of […]
The Angel’s Testimony – Part 1
In Luke 2:8-14 we have an interesting and beautiful story. It is the story of the Angels proclaiming the birth of Jesus to the shepherds. One of them was kind enough to share with us his testimony. As an angel, he is someone who is on the other side of the curtain. He is an […]
The Simeon’s Testimony – Part 2
This is the testimony of Simeon, based on Luke 2: 25-35. This story is about the encounter of Simeon with Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. Last week we saw the first part of his story (at least, my interpretation of his story). Today we will see the second part of Simeon’s Testimony: “As I told you […]
The Simeon’s Testimony – Part 1
In Luke 2: 25-35, we have an interesting encounter of a man called Simeon with Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. We do not know a lot about Simeon, this is why we will let him tell his story (at least, my interpretation of his story). Here is the first part of Simeon’s Testimony: “I am an […]
The Reason for the Season – Part 4
“He will save His people from their sins.” This is what the Angel of the Lord told Joseph. Here is the whole text: “Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Yes, He came to save His people […]
The Reason for the Season – Part 3
Christmas season has become a commercial festival instead of a spiritual festival. Santa Claus has become more popular than Jesus himself. With so many things going on we sometimes forget the reason of the season. What is the real reason for Christmas? It is not the exchange of presents. It is not Santa Claus. It […]
The Reason for the Season – Part 2
Christmas is Christ with us, is God with us. God incarnated and made His tabernacle with us. The beauty of Christmas is that God will not leave us or abandon us. This is what we learn with the word Emmanuel. Let us see other aspects of that presence. THE SPIRITUAL PRESENCE – As I said it […]
The Reason for the Season – Part 1
Did you ever try to find out why we have so many religions in the world? I come from a country that has a lot of gods. And every day we have a different and new one. They have gods of waters and land, gods of the forest and the air. They do everything that […]
People who missed a great opportunity to check out baby Jesus
Do you remember this saying from Jesus’ lips: “Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. Luke 10:13.” Yes, He really cursed those cities, because they had Him […]
People who missed a great opportunity to surrender to the King of kings
All of us, like it or not, have a queen’s syndrome or a king’s syndrome. We all want to be king or queen. I believe it is inherent in our human nature. We do not only want to dictate our own path and destiny, but also the lives of people around us. We have this […]
