I am a parable of the person who lives by the grace of God (John 9: 1-38). Who knew about me? I am nonexistent. My kinsfolk and my neighbors did not deny me; rather, they revealed my truth. I am a person born today. Neither my mother nor my father nor anyone else recognizes me. ...

The Face of Jesus
In my son’s house, an icon of Jesus is placed above the entrance door. My son knows that it is not part of our heritage to put the icon in our homes, in other than an inner room, in the place of prayer, on the eastern wall. The icon is not for public display, but ...

The Feast of Transfiguration is these few words said by those who have written down the event: “when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only” (see for example: Matthew 17:8). I am not attenuating the glow of the event: the light, Moses and Elijah, what God the Father had ...

O Jesus, You called Yourself the Servant. You told Your disciples that, among them, You are the Servant . You wanted to set Yourself as an example for them and for us. You are really amazing! In everything, both heaven and earth see You being broken before Man, any Man, for the salvation of the ...

In the New Testament, we are drawn to the fact that, the more famous Jesus became throughout the earth, the more He rose to His Cross. I will give you an example. After Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem, Greek people came to His disciples, and asked to see Him (John 12:20-22). This is an ...
