The metaphor of the True Vine should cause us to evaluate the use of wine in our own lives and churches. Do we wrongfully hold others to a standard higher than our Lord? Have we thrown out this picture of joy due to a legitimate abuse? Drunkenness to be sure is a sin. But wine is a picture of joy.

What Special Foods Did Jesus Actually Eat?
A lot of speculation is made about what Jesus would have eaten or what He did eat. By providence, there are many things that we do not need to speculate on, for the Bible tells us. Of course, we will never know all that Christ ate, and some speculations may indeed be true. But for fun, here is a list of foods that we know He ate (or was attempting to eat) according to the Scriptures. Included are the foods recorded in the New Testament in Christ’s incarnation as well as the foods eaten in His Continue reading “What Special Foods Did Jesus Actually Eat?”

Look at John 9:1-3.
In this passage, the disciples ask Jesus, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”
The disciples assumed, like most people of their day, that Continue reading “Why Am I Sick? Reason #1: For God’s Glory”
