Jesus calls us to be ready for his coming into this world. But what does it mean to be ready? And what coming is he talking about? Jesus Christ is coming into the world today, how do we recognize it?
Why do we worry so much? What does it help us? God invites us to cast (literally throw) our worries onto him, because God cares for us. That doesn’t necessarily mean that all will be good. It means that God will be with us in every situation, joy and sadness.
If you are like me, you imagine eternal life along the lines what you love the most here on earth, ocean walks, mountain hikes, and playtime with your grandkids. Jesus was tricked with a story about seven weddings and a funeral. What he taught was, that life after death will be very different.
