Read MoreIn the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus from Luke 16, Jesus teaches us about the consequences of indifference toward those in need.

This powerful story reminds us that our treatment of others matters eternally. We still have time to see the 'Lazaruses' at our gates and respond with compassion, creating margin in our lives for divine interruptions.

Read MoreJesus challenges the crowds following Him with shocking words about discipleship, stating that anyone who doesn't 'hate' their family and even their own life cannot be His disciple. This isn't literal hatred but a Jewish idiom emphasizing that our love for Jesus must surpass all other relationships.

Read MoreThe story of Mary and Martha teaches us about proper spiritual priorities. While Martha became anxious about many tasks, Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet. Jesus gently corrected Martha, not because service is wrong, but because she had lost sight of the one necessary thing - Jesus himself. This mirrors Abraham's example in Genesis 18, who first worshiped God and then offered hospitality. Our spiritual lives should follow this pattern: first worship, then service; first receive, then give. When we prioritize our relationship with Jesus, everything else finds its proper place.

Today, Christians are called to pray to the Lord of the harvest, go in faith with other believers, and trust in God's provision, remembering that our job is faithfulness, not success.

He asks each of us directly: Who do you say that I am? This isn't just any question - it's the question that shapes our entire life's direction and purpose. How we answer reveals not just what we believe, but who we truly are and what matters most to us.
