Week 17

Today is Easter Sunday, the holiest day in the Christian calendar. The day to celebrate Yeshua and his teachings!

This week's message is indeed one of his most important, and the one that has influenced me the most in my 30 plus year's of serious study of comparitive religions.

Righteousness and peace are not some abstractions. They are not found by looking around and waiting for them to come to us. They are found within all of us, although we may not realize it. The time of rightousness and peace comes when we practice it.

These thoughts are found in the Gospel of Thomas, the source material of Luke and the writings of Paul.

Alleluia!

Week 16

Today is Palm Sunday; the day celebrated as the day Jesus came to Jerusalem for the final time. This was the climax of his ministry.  We can see this in this week's quote.

What I am teaching will cause a revolution! It will separate families.

We find this in the Gospel of  Thomas, the Q gospel and from an independent Luke source.

His message certainly did cause a revolution, throughout the world.  The world has never been the same since.

Week 15

This week's message starts a theme that being a follower of Yeshua is not necessarily easy.

Following my teachings is dangerous, but the reward is everlasting.

We find this expressed in the gospels of Mark and John.

Even today, in many parts of the world, being a Christian is dangerous. It is one of the great sadnesses of this world; that people are still persecuted for what they believe.

Week 14

This week's message continues showing some of Yeshua's frustrations.

Many will violently reject my teachings.

I am sure we all can appreciate His feelings, especially when we try to show others a better way of doing things, but find that people just do not want to accept what we offer.

This message is found in both the Gospels of Mark and John.
