Closer Day By Day

Very quickly, we have come to almost our last week of reading the Gospel according to Luke.  In today’s passage, we see the beginning of the final days of Jesus as He enters with loud ‘Hosannas’ into the city of Jerusalem.  However, before the events of His days, let me share with you some of [...]

Bible Passage:  Luke 18 Like us today, the people who lived alongside Jesus has many things to ask of Him. And also like us today, some got what they wanted and some did not. In our chapter for today, Jesus gives us some very important lessons, teaching us how to get what we ask for [...]

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 [...]

Bible Passage:  Luke 13 Quite a few lessons today but I would just like to focus on one… the ‘Narrow Door’. “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” These were the words uttered by someone to Jesus in Luke 13:23. And the answer of Jesus served as a warning to Israel at [...]

Bible Passage:  Luke 12 Recently, more young Singaporeans became less politically apathetic and began to read news. I am one of them who started reading news since before the GE until now.

Bible Passage:  Luke 11 Are You Wired? Can you imagine a day without your mobile phone? I can’t. I’ve got appointments to keep, meetings to arrange, friends to call, people who will call me. I get a sinking feeling when I realize I leave the house without my phone in the morning. I find myself [...]

Bible Passage:  Luke 10 While on His way to Jerusalem to be crucified, Jesus continued to preach the gospel, heal the sick and bring relief to those who were tormented by demons. But He did not work by Himself—He also sent His disciples ahead of Him to prepare the people for His coming and to [...]
