Jesus, the image of the invisible God, makes known the mercy and might of the one who rules over all.  So, might can be merciful.   By experience, we know quite well that to have might in the world means to be a tyrant.  But we have before us another kind of might,...

Jesus is the Word of God. He carries out the task God gives him and bears fruit in those who hear and understand what he says. The disciples of Jesus are simple folks to whom the Father reveals what he hides from the wise. No wonder, then, that they are granted to...

Jesus is meek and lowly of heart. That is why simple folks readily go to him and they feel at ease with him. Jesus has done most of his miracles in Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum. Yet these cities do not welcome what he has taught and preached. And it is so since...
