Who is Jesus of Nazareth? - By Bruce Mackay
The greatest debate that raged during Jesus' thirty-three years on earth was, 'Who is this man from Nazareth?' Many reasoned, 'Is He none other than the son of Joseph the carpenter?' Some would question, 'Do you really believe that story of Mary being a virgin until after Jesus was born?' 'Sounds like a cover-up to me', another would say. Still others said Jesus was John the Baptist who had come back from the dead, or Elijah or even Jeremiah. ...Read More

The Temptation of Jesus - By Bruce Mackay
As we look at this significant event of Jesus' temptation, it is full of lessons for each of us. Throughout our lives, and even on a daily basis, we are tempted with many things; whether material things we desire to have, the food we eat, financial security, or even the love of a specific person. These are the fundamental things that can control the decisions we make and the relationships we have with one another. ...Read More

The Gospel to the Poor - By Bruce Mackay
From age twelve to thirty, Jesus worked in Nazareth as a carpenter with Joseph, His father. His public ministry began after His baptism. From there He visited Jerusalem and then returned to Nazareth via Samaria. It was during that journey that He spoke to the woman at the well about living water. It was the custom of Jesus to go to the synagogue every Saturday. On this particular Sabbath in His home town, it was His turn to read from the Scriptures. The Jewish Scriptures are what we call the Old Testament in our Bibles. ...Read More

The Birth of Jesus - By Bruce Mackay
A study of the Bible clearly portrays Jesus as God the Son, the Son of God, and also the Son of Man. Although every one of these aspects is vitally important, our focus for this article will be on the dimension of the Son of Man, and the point in history when God became flesh and lived amongst us. ...Read More

The Baptism of Jesus - By Bruce Mackay
Between twelve and thirty years of age, Jesus worked with his father Joseph, as a carpenter in the family business. During this time, the Bible says Jesus increased in stature and wisdom and in favour with God and man. Interestingly, within three short years a dramatic change took place. He became despised and rejected by men. One thing stayed consistent. He continued to find favour with God. He kept doing the works and will of God, even to Gethsemane. There, in deep agony of spirit He sweated drops of blood as He cried out, 'Not My will but Your will be done'. Luke 22:42. ...Read More


 

Sight to the Blind

Sight to the Blind - By Bruce Mackay
Blindness, for a person with excellent vision, is impossible to comprehend. How can we imagine being locked up to darkness? Without outside intervention, blindness is being destined to a life of stumbling and falling. For a person born blind, the image of the unseen would have little meaning. No doubt the senses, like touch, hearing and smell, would be highly tuned. I have a cousin who is blind, who is so helped by her seeing-eye dog and the use of Braille that she can do almost anything a person with complete sight can. But nothing can replace the privilege of seeing. ...Read More

Setting the Oppressed Free - By Bruce Mackay
Jesus declared to the people His mission statement when He stood up in the synagogue. Luke 4:18-19. Within that mighty proclamation, He said He would 'set at liberty those who are oppressed'. What good news! Jesus would heal and set free the oppressed and downtrodden, the crushed and bruised. Ever since Satan oppressed Adam and Eve through his deception and their disobedience, the human race has been downtrodden by oppressors, leaving it crushed and bruised. Many today find themselves in this situation. The purpose of this article is to make clear that we don't have to stay crushed and bruised, but rather through Jesus we can become 'healed victors'. ...Read More

Living Water - By Bruce Mackay
During one of the many journeys Jesus made with His disciples, they passed through the region of Samaria. While His disciples went to purchase food, Jesus rested near a well. It was the middle of the day and He was hot, tired and thirsty. While He was waiting, a woman came with her pot to draw water from the well. Jesus asked her for a drink and this then led to a most interesting and insightful discussion. ...Read More
