Jesus promised, “I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14). Learn how you can be certain of heaven through Christ alone.

We live in a restless world. Our hearts search endlessly for satisfaction, yet possessions, pleasures, and even relationships never seem to fill the void. Jesus Christ, however, extends an invitation unlike any other: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”  (Matthew 11:28). This simple word— come —is God’s call to sinners weighed down by guilt, unrest, and sin. It speaks of grace, of a Saviour willing to receive the weary and grant pe

When Jesus told the parable in Luke 15, He wasn’t just sketching a touching scene. He was showing the heart of God toward people who are truly lost — separated from Him by sin — and the joy of being found. The younger son’s journey from the far country to the Father’s embrace mirrors our own: the deceitful pleasure of sin, the emptiness that follows, the moment we “come to and end of ourselves,” and the hope of turning home. “When he was yet a great way off, his father saw hi

John 9 tells the story of a man born blind who received sight, then salvation. This chapter reminds us that Jesus did not just come to fix our condition, but to reveal Himself as the Son of God.

How much is a soul worth? In Luke 15, Jesus reveals the infinite value of the human soul, the urgency of salvation, and the joy in heaven over one sinner who repents.

In Luke 10, Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan — a parable that still speaks powerfully today. The words that change everything are found in verse 33: “And when he saw him, he had compassion.” This was more than just a story about neighbours. It was a glimpse of the heart of Christ. The Saviour sees you — not just your life and circumstances, but your soul, your sin, and your need of salvation. He sees the damage sin has done, and yet He also sees the incredible value

Luke 2 records one of the few glimpses we are given of the Lord Jesus’ childhood. At just twelve years old, He remained in the temple while His parents journeyed home, not realizing He was missing. For a whole day, they traveled without Christ. “They supposed Him to have been in the company” (Luke 2:44). How many people today make the same mistake? They assume everything is fine spiritually, never asking if Christ is truly with them. Each step without Him takes them farther a

When the critics muttered, “This man receives sinners,” they meant it as an accusation. Jesus wore it like a crown. In Luke 15:1–7, He lifts the veil on heaven’s heart: a Shepherd who searches, finds, and carries home a single, wandering sheep— and all of heaven rejoices . “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth.” — Luke 15:7 We’re reminded that being lost is dangerous—far from God, in the dark, and unable to save ourselves. But th

In Luke 10, the Lord Jesus tells one of His most famous stories—a man robbed, beaten, and left half-dead on the Jericho road. The priest and the Levite passed by. But then we read these four words: “But a certain Samaritan.” That moment changed everything. He had compassion, stopped, and cared for the dying man. Without him, there would only have been another statistic—another life lost. This Samaritan is a picture of Christ. He came to where we were—helpless, wounded by sin,

Luke 15 reveals the heart of Christ toward sinners. Discover the Saviour who moves toward the lost, receives the guilty, and offers forgiveness through the cross.

“ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem… how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! ” (Luke 13:34) Jesus speaks with aching tenderness—and unflinching clarity. Luke 13 sets out solemn contrasts: repent or perish  (13:3,5), fruit or cut down  (13:6–9), loosed or bound  (13:10–17), enter or be shut out  (13:24). We’re all sinners (Romans 3:23), and one sin is one too many (James 2:10). Yet heaven has moved toward us

She walked in branded as a sinner. She walked out completely forgiven. Discover how Jesus’ words changed her life—and how they can change yours.

Pilate’s inscription — “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews”  — looks simple and clear, but it points straight to the heart of the Gospel. That single title draws you into three essential truths: the identity of Jesus, the purpose of his suffering, and the extraordinary way God wrote the story to rescue sinners. Christ is the suffering King. A king who should have ruled from a throne instead took the cross for his people. He didn’t die as a victim of chance; he died as ou
