Closer Day By Day

Bible Passage:  Luke 23 The trial of Jesus followed by His crucifixion. The very thought of it brings a mixture of pain, sorrow, regret, shame… and yet at the same time, hope, faith, and above all… Love. It is hard to read today’s passage and not be moved.  But instead on focusing on Jesus today, [...]

Bible Passage:  Luke 22 There are many important lessons we can learn in Luke 22 and again I can only pick one. I would like to share my feelings of Jesus’ prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. This garden is one with many olive trees and it is at Mount of Olives. Jerusalem is on [...]

Bible Passage:  Luke 21 Healthy Eyes to See the true value. “…He looked up and saw the rich…, …and He saw a certain poor….” (v1,2) Here God teaches us not to regard things at face value; that the widow’s meagre offering of 2 copper mites was in fact her livelihood. Also, God was fair in [...]

Bible Passage:  Luke 20 As I read today’s chapter, there’s only one question that haunts me: What do we see? Do we see the physical or the spiritual? Do we see the world or do we see Jesus Christ, our God and Creator and His mission for us? My New King James Bible entitles Luke [...]

Bible Passage: Luke 17 Chapter 17 begins with “Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!” I find this verse in chinese easier to understand. 耶 稣 又 对 门 徒 说 ： 绊 倒 人 的 事 是 免 不 了 [...]

I [...]

Bible Passage:  Luke 15 Lost Sheep/Coin/Son!!! Sheep/Coin/Son… Lost from the time of birth into this world. Might have been found before at some point, but got lost again for some reason. Looking for the real and meaningful things in life, but went to look in the wrong place (which is the world). Really needs salvation [...]

Bible Passage:  Luke 14 One day a ruler of the Pharisees invited Jesus over. It was Sabbath day and time for some supper. The ruler seemed like a good guy inviting Jesus and all, But he and his buddies were just watching Jesus closely, just waiting to point fingers at Jesus on His first mistake. [...]
