I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, THE CRUCIFIED It is a new day in the beginning of a new week in the beginning of a new month. It is not a coincidence because it has been made so by the Lord, a marvel in our eyes. May his name be praised both now and forever. Amen. St Paul reminds us today that our success in life and our salvation do not depend on our power or achievement. It is rather dependent upon our faith in our crucified Lord, Jesus Christ (1 Cor 2:1-5). How true is that? The evangelist Luke tells us that right at the beginning of his ministry, Jesus read out his manifesto (Luke 4:18-19), and you are part of that. Listen to what he tells you today, my dear; The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has anointed me to bring good news to YOU! He has sent me proclaim liberty to YOU! And sight (vision) to YOU! To free YOU from oppression, and; To announce the Lords year of mercy to YOU! Hope you said amen to those. See! Jesus did not speak from the blues. Listen to him saying, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me (Matt 28:18). He demonstrated that authority when he SAT DOWN to teach in the synagogue (Luke 4:20), a prerogative of teachers. Let me ask you, Are your eyes fixed upon him as that of other people (cf. Luke 4:20)? If only we can all do that, we can always hear him again saying to us, Today these words of Scripture [Luke 4:18-19] have come true even as you listen (Luke 4:21). I wish you open doors and more friendship with Jesus in this new month and beyond. Amen. It is well with you.
