During the Last Supper, Jesus stood up, took a basin, a towel, and a pitcher of water, and began to wash the feet of His disciples. “Big bosses” never allow themselves to stoop that low. From a social standpoint, such behavior was unthinkable — a leader or religious teacher was…
What keeps so many people in church, in the Christian community? The answer is simple—and a little sad. For some, it’s family and social ties. “My whole family’s in church, so of course I’m there too. Wouldn’t want to be the odd one out.” Family is like a spiderweb: tug…
We eat only for the present moment. No one has breakfast for next month or eats lunch for their future old age. We’re hungry right now, and right now we go looking for food. The body’s law is amazingly simple, and that’s exactly what Jesus drew on when He said…
For many Christians, the parable Jesus told about the shrewd manager who was about to be fired for embezzlement is baffling. Commentators often struggle to explain His words. Were it not for the context in Luke’s Gospel—which clearly warns about the danger of loving money—Christians might even take this parable…
One evening, as a soft rain pattered against the café windows, two elderly men struck up a chance conversation while sharing a wooden table by the glass. It was the end of a long workweek, and both looked weary, each nursing a steaming cup of coffee. At first, it was…
Paul’s teaching on the “sinful death of humanity in Adam” is that every individual has lost direction, lost connection with God, and become corrupted. Yet each person still retains certain capacities that allow them, to greater or lesser degrees, to perceive the Divine light. In Catholic tradition (Augustine, Thomas Aquinas)…
Religion is often viewed as an exhibition of sacred artifacts, or salvation imagined as the outcome of a courtroom verdict. Yet Jesus, in His teaching, offered a very different picture: one that was dynamic and alive, deeply connected to the rhythms of living nature. “I am the true vine, and…
A soldier is not a free man and is often cruel. The commander gives orders, and the soldier does. On that memorable spring day, the procurator ordered the soldiers to beat Yeshua. After numerous beatings, Jesus was crowned with thorns, dressed in a bright red cloak and led out to…
The Big Five model—one of the most widely recognized theories of personality in academic psychology—is used in scientific research, HR and coaching, and psychotherapy as a fundamental tool for understanding human nature. But what if we apply this model to the personality of Jesus? The five core traits are: Openness…

How to come to know Jesus, to commune with Him, to discern His presence? The first decision is to devote as much time as possible to Him: read, study, return to what you don’t understand. Accumulate “Christ-hours” until the information coalesces into a recognizable face and study becomes an encounter. It seems that after a…
A person sits in the kitchen staring at their phone. They want to call someone — to tell how their day went, to complain, to hear, “I understand you.” They scroll through names and put the phone down. This one will be studying. That one will make a joke. Another will listen and then tell…
A caterpillar becomes a butterfly. We have known this since childhood and have almost stopped being surprised: a creature whose whole life took place on the surface of a leaf one day unfolds its wings. But what if the possibility of change is hidden in a person as well—change that cannot be imagined from inside…
