The Angel’s Testimony – Part 1

In Luke 2:8-14 we have an interesting and beautiful story. It is the story of the Angels proclaiming the birth of Jesus to the shepherds. One of them was kind enough to share with us his testimony. As an angel, he is someone who is on the other side of the curtain. He is an […]

This is the testimony of Simeon, based on Luke 2: 25-35. This story is about the encounter of Simeon with Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus.

The Simeon’s Testimony – Part 1

In Luke 2: 25-35, we have an interesting encounter of a man called Simeon with Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. We do not know a lot about Simeon, this is why we will let him tell his story (at least, my interpretation of his story). Here is the first part of Simeon’s Testimony:  “I am an […]

Christmas is Christ with us, is God with us. God incarnated and made His tabernacle with us. The beauty of Christmas is that God will not leave us or abandon us. This is what we learn with the word Emmanuel. Let us see other aspects of that presence. THE SPIRITUAL PRESENCE – As I said it […]

The Reason for the Season – Part 1

What happen when we die? – The Beginning of the Intermediate State

For some people the story that Jesus told in Luke 16: 19-31 is reason for concerns. Jesus could not be clearer than that about death, heaven and hell.
