Jesus uses the image of hunger and food to teach us the Gospel. Jesus said that He is the “Bread of Life” that came down from Heaven and gives life to the world. Jesus Himself gives eternal life to the world through His work of salvation. There is no other place to find eternal life; […]
Moses had his hands full with the Israelites in the wilderness. Moses is known as a great leader and prophet of God who delivered the Israelites during the Exodus; but the last third of his life must have been extremely stressful dealing with the rebellious Israelites1. Repeatedly in Scripture we hear that the Israelites were […]
Do you remember the 10 Plagues that God brought on Egypt? Pharaoh had defied the Lord; he refused to listen to Moses the prophet, and he would not let the Israelites leave Egypt. So God sent the 10 Plagues, meant to show the power and the glory of the One True God, and lead Pharaoh […]

One of the prophecies of the Messiah was that He would be a prophet like Moses, but greater than Moses, because He would speak the very words of God as God1. Jesus is that Prophet that God promised to send; who as the Son of God, speaks the very words of God as God Himself! […]
The Bible doesn’t tell as much about most of Jesus’ life. We learn about His miraculous birth in Bethlehem, the Angels singing their songs to the shepherds, the Miraculous star in the sky that led the Magi to Jesus, the flight into Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod, a couple visits to Jerusalem […]
