Jesus unashamedly enters into our world of suffering, graciously gathers us as his brothers and sisters, and victoriously leads us, through his perfect sacrifice, to life with God.

Although we don't always know why suffering presses and crushes us, we have an eternal king, Jesus Christ, who tasted death so that we might taste life.

The tides of life can cause our affections for and devotion to Jesus Christ to drift slowly away. How can we wake up to the reality of spiritual drift and fight against it?

While angels are special messengers from God, Jesus is greater -- greater in name, glory, status, and vocation.

Humanity, and in fact nothing less than the entire cosmos, must hear the word of God, most fully revealed in his Son, in order to exist and flourish.
