SIN-CERE

“Now He has appeared at the end of the ages to take away sins once for all by His sacrifice.” –Hebrews 9:26 Jesus’ “death has taken place for deliverance from transgressions” (Heb 9:15). “Christ was offered up once to take away the sins of many” (Heb 9:28). “You can depend on this as worthy of full acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Tm 1:15).

DO-DROPS

“They immediately abandoned their nets and became His followers.” –Matthew 4:20 Jesus called Peter, Andrew, James, and John to follow Him and become fishers of men (Mt 4:19). We too are repeatedly appealing for workers for the harvest (see Mt 9:38). Some very busy people answer our appeals and thus become even busier, taking on more work and responsibilities. The sacrificial love of these very busy people is beautiful. Although Jesus does assign more work to the few existing workers (see Lk 12:48; Lk 19:17ff), He is constantly calling more and more people to become workers. Jesus plans to give...

This decision legalized millions of serial killings. It is a gigantic step backward into the culture of death. It is a capitulation to Hitler and the Third Reich. Hitler lost World War II militarily, but his diabolical ideas reign supreme today in our culture of death. However, there...

THE MOB SCENE

Jesus “is always able to save those who approach God through Him, since He forever lives to make intercession for them.” –Hebrews 7:25 Mass Readings: January 19 First: Hebrews 7:25–8:6; Resp: Psalm 40:7-10,17; Gospel: Mark 3:7-12 Something about Jesus makes us feel like mobbing Him. “A great crowd followed Him from Galilee, and an equally great multitude came to Him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, Transjordan, and the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon” (Mk 3:7-8). “In view of their numbers, He told His disciples to have a fishing boat ready for Him so that He could avoid the press of the...

The Christians to whom the book of Hebrews was written were persecuted and martyred by the Roman government. They “endured mockery, scourging, even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, sawed in two, put...
