Luke 1:45 – “And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” You may have heard about the beatitudes mentioned in Matthew 5:3-11.

Luke 1:38 – “And Mary said, ‘Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.’ And the angel departed from her.” Mary was just another Jewish teenager, eagerly looking forward to getting married and starting her own family.

Luke 18:13: And the publican standing afar off, would not lift up as much as his eyes unto heaven but smote upon his breast, saying God be merciful to me a sinner. God sees the heart and not the person. Publicans were generally considered as sinners during the time of Jesus because they used to […]
John 11:11: I am the good shepherd, the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. Jesus is the good shepherd. A good shepherd is the one who gives his life for the sheep and always protects the sheep from all kinds of danger. He leads the sheep to good pasture. He is bothered about […]
Matthew 4:11: Then the devil leaveth him and behold angels came and ministered unto him. The devil did his best to tempt Jesus to worship him and for Jesus to jump off the temple and to turn the stones into bread. He wanted Jesus to become an unworthy sacrifice by making Him obey him, but […]
