Mystery Of Christ

Four men carried their sick friend on a stretcher to see Jesus, but the crowd blocked the doorway. Refusing to give up, they climbed onto the roof, tore it open, and lowered their friend right in front of Him.  Jesus looked up at their faith, then turned to the sick man and said, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ The religious leaders protested, questioning His authority. Jesus asked, &ls...

‘Permission to be healed, Sir? Do I have permission to be healed on Sundays—or any other day? On the Sabbath day, a man with a deformed hand sat in the synagogue. Jesus saw him, but the religious leaders objected: ‘ Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?’ Their question still echoes today: ‘Are we allowed to be healed now—or was healing only for the days of Jesus?...

A woman came to Jesus for help. He called her a dog (Matthew 15: 21-28). Why? How would you feel if you were called a dog? How would you feel if Jesus Himself called you a dog? Disgusted, angry, hurt, humiliated—those are the words that quickly come to mind. Why did Jesus use such a term? This is sexist, offensive, and even bordering on harassment. Today, He might well have been reported for...

'Speak the word, and my servant will be healed,’ said the Roman officer (Luke 7:1-10). Jesus was amazed at this man’s faith. He was not a Jew but a Roman centurion. He submits only to Caesar. Yet he recognised the authority of Jesus Christ to heal. He saw in Jesus a Kingly authority—One who rules, even over the invisible forces of bacteria and viruses. Jesus, in turn, recognised...

How much faith do I need? Can faith be quantified? This is the question asked by the disciples (Mathew 17: 14-20). Can it be measured out the way we measure water in a cup? I have never seen, touched, smelled, or tasted faith. So how can Jesus say that I don’t have enough? Is, faith something that can be portioned out to each person? And who decides how much we should have? If I need more fa...

Do you want to be healed? (John 5: 1-14). What sort of question is that? Of course, we all want to be healed… don’t we? Yet Jesus meets a man who had been waiting thirty-eight years for healing and asks him exactly that question. Sometimes we grow used to our surroundings—comfortable, secure, and unwilling to change. Like this man, we can become institutionalised. That’s w...

Disabled at birth. A man born blind is healed by Jesus (John 9:1-34). The disciples never imagined that Jesus could heal someone born blind. This was a first. Like everyone else around them, they accepted the condition as unchangeable: You are born blind—accept it. It is your destiny. But should we simply accept the status quo? Should we resign ourselves to what society or religious leaders...

In this episode, we explore the story of the Ethiopian eunuch and his search to understand the Suffering Messiah (Isaiah 53:1–12; Acts 8:26–40). The setting spans from Palm Sunday (John 12:13) and Christ’s crucifixion (Matthew 27:35) to the events that followed in the early church (Acts 1:1–8:40). Here, the disciple Philip reveals that Jesus Christ is indeed the promised Me...

The Mystery of Christ—is it a puzzle to be solved, or a hidden gem waiting to be found? Are the stories of Christ told in the Gospels true and still relevant today? Is Jesus Christ different from Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, or any other religion? He spoke of healing, miracles, the future, truth, destiny, and life after death. Do we need to hear what He has to say? We live...
