[Like 7:11-17] 11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.” 14 Then he went up and touched the

For example, you can say, “What do you do for a living?” That’s a common one. But there’s an easier one — “What is your job?” You can also say, “What is your occupation?” or “What is your profession?” Now, “profession” usually means a job that needs special knowledge — like a lawyer, a doctor, a teacher, an engineer, or a writer. But, there’s another word that’s very special. It’s the word “vocation.” Yes, “vocation.” It can mean a

In fact, we could even say, “Timing is everything.” No matter how hard we try, if it is not the right time, we cannot see fruit. No matter how much effort we put in, if the timing is not right, it will not succeed. That is how crucial timing is. The Roman philosopher Seneca (around 4 B.C.–A.D. 65) once said: “Luck is what happens when preparation meets

[Luke 7:1-10] 1 When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our

[Luke 6:20-26] 20 Looking at his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. 23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great

Do you know how many times? About eight times. Why does it appear eight times? Because it is very important, that’s why it is repeated so often. In Greek, the phrase “in Christ” is “en Christo.” In Paul’s letters, the phrase en Christō is used 64 times. It shows how significant this concept is. “In Christ” means that we who believe in Jesus are in Christ—that is, we belong to Jesus.
