WWJD? It is one of the well-known expressions among Christian communities. What would Jesus do? In order to do what Jesus would do, we first need to know what He did. WDJD? What did Jesus do? This week we are going to learn one of many things that Jesus did through the story of “A Woman Caught in Adultery”. In John 8. Jesus refused to stand with the accusers by lowering Himself. And He took the place of compassion.
What do you expect from God when you run into problems and trials? Magic? Miracles? Or nothing? We are going to listen to what the Bible has to say about what God does when we are going through problems and trials.
What does repenting mean? Why do I want to repent? Why do I want to change my life style to Jesus’ way? The Bible may give you the answers to these questions through Zacchaeus’ response to Jesus’ grace.
When you played hide-and-seek as a child, were you too good at hiding, so you felt abandoned at times? While hiding good, had you ever wanted somebody to come and find you, “Ally-Ally, In Come Free!”?
Are you trying to hide from God and people because of your brokenness, vulnerability, faults and flaws, or fears, then wondering why you are feeling abandoned and alone? Can you hear somebody yelling, “Ally-Ally, In Come Free!”? Somebody is coming to find you!
Have you desperately longed for having a person with you, even just one who would embrace your pain no matter what? There is the One who would be with you regardless. Jesus Christ! When I cry to Him, He braces my brokenness and cries with me. What good news! But, it is not the end of the story. He is able and willing to heal my brokenness. What do you need to cry to Jesus?
Many Christian churches have condemned divorce in the name of Jesus based on Matthew 5:31-32. Some traditions do not even allow remarriage in their churches. What did Jesus mean by those two verses? Have we let our religious passion override the compassion for the people, whom Jesus cares about and loves, in His name?
In “The Parable of the Good Samaritan,” a priest and a Temple assistant chose religious laws and rules over compassion. A good Samaritan lived out compassion. What did Jesus say? What can override compassion?
“Do this in remembrance of Me.” Does it sound familiar? Yes, Jesus said it to His disciples at His Table. Then, what does He want us to remember at His Table? We are going to listen to what the Bible has to say about it through the story of “Feeding the Four Thousand” in Mark 8:1-8.
