Heaven has invaded earth. It invaded it by Jesus
Christ, in His sufferings, crucifixion, death and
resurrection, and through His complete victory
over the devil. It invaded it by the martyrs and
saints, from every part of the world and from every
century
‘I, Jesus Christ, tell you, shame on you when you
worry, get weak, become hopeless, or even die. I
am among you and I freely give you My
Reassurance, Trust, Strength, Simplicity,
transparency, quietness, victory, peace, joy,
Gentleness, Salvation, Freedom, Love, Faith,
Spirit, Grace. I got all these for you from Heaven to
earth. If you abide in Me, you get them all’
(translated from Charles’ Malik book ‘Bihi kana
kul shay)
Jesus Christ is our Joy, ‘I have told you this so that
My joy may be in you and that your joy may be
complete’ Jesus in John 15:11
Jesus Christ is our Victory over suffering and
death. He is our Savior and Shepherd. He is Love,
the Love that transforms us inside out; He
transforms us into sainthood, into servant hood
and into being ‘perfect just as our Heavenly Father
is perfect’ Jesus in Matthew 5:48. He transforms
us by healing our doubts, and setting us free.
Jesus said ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life’
John 14:2, ‘you will know the Truth, and the Truth
will set you free’ John 8:32
He is our Judge, our Mediator, our Strength, our
Comfort and anchor of Hope. Jesus
Jesus Christ, You are our Resurrection. Praise is
Yours, now and forever!

Word from a Saint
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to
hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the
ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks2like
Mark it down
Saint Augustine
The greatest thing about any civilization is the
human person, and the greatest thing about this
person is the possibility of his encounter with the
person of Jesus Christ

There are four things that if you take in and adjust even 10 degrees, you can be on the
wonderfully connected, grace-filled
marriage where there is love within the home
path to having a
† Accept Differences - We hear this a lot, but it's not always easy to put
into practice. Just because it's difficult doesn't cancel out its importance - the first
thing that we need to do to create homes filled with grace is to give our mates room
to be different. Your husband is not your girlfriend, nor do you want him to be. You
want him to be masculine and winsome and romantic. But a man is going to express
himself differently than you. He is not a woman and, indeed, you are not a man
† Be Vulnerable - In a grace-based home both spouses need to be vulnerable
with the other. That means taking off our masks, owning up to our hurts, and taking
responsibility in areas we've been critical, harsh, or where we have been
authoritarian instead of grace-based
† Allow Mistakes - When we work on our marriages, introducing new skills
and truths into our relationship, sometimes we fool ourselves into expecting
perfection. Your home needs to be a place where you allow your mate to make
mistakes. In a grace-based home my mate is not going to be perfect, but in realizing
that, I realize my mate is not my enemy. My mate is the love of my life. Where do you
need to go back to your mate and say, "I came down on you too hard, will you forgive
me? You can make mistakes, because I've made mistakes too." In all these areas -allowing differences, vulnerabilities, and mistakes we must be candid
† Tell The Truth - We are told in the scripture to always tell the truth, but that
we must also surround it with love. In your candidness, make sure your mate always
comes out feeling stronger, that opportunities will always come forth, that you are
their best cheerleader, but also that you are truthful. Remember, when telling the
truth is difficult, you tell the truth because Jesus tells us to take the gird, the belt of
truth and wear it. Telling the truth in love will create a genuineness in your marriage
that will make your mate feel secure. The truth is part of loving someone deeply

iddle
Q: Tiffany's father has 4 children; three are named Nana, Nene, and Nini. What is the fourth
child's name?
A: Tiffany!
Q: How many months have 28 days?
A: All of them! (Some may have 30 or 31, but all have 28!)
Riddles have been around since the time of Jesus. Maybe longer than that. One day, Jesus was
approached by a group of Sadducees — religious leaders who did not believe in the
resurrection. They were trying to trick Jesus into agreeing that there was no resurrection. They
asked him to answer a riddle
Sadducees’ Q: The law of Moses says that if a man dies, leaving a wife but no children, his
brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name. Well,
suppose there were seven brothers. The oldest one married and then died without children. So
the second brother married the widow, but he also died. Then the third brother married her.
This continued until all seven brothers had married the same woman. Finally, the woman also
died. So tell us, whose wife will she be after the resurrection since all seven were married to
her!
Jesus’ A: Marriage is for people here on earth. But in the age to come, those who are raised
from the dead will not marry or be married. Not only that, but they will never die again. They will
live forever as the children of God
Jesus went on to say, "Even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord 'the God of
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' He is not the God of the dead, he is the
God of the living."
After Jesus answered their riddle so wisely, no one dared to ask him any more questions.
Now, you and I know that Jesus promised us that if we love him and trust in him, we will live
forever in heaven with him.
Isn't it sad that some people do not believe there is a resurrection and eternal life in heaven?
Q. Why were the people in today's Bible lesson called Sadducees?
A. Since they didn’t believe in the resurrection or the happiness of heaven, they were "Sad, you
see!"
Dear Father, we are happy today that you have promised us eternal life in heaven. Amen

A man dies and goes to

at the pearly gates
The Lord is out there
too
One afternoon a little boy
was playing outdoors. He
used his mother's broom
as a horse and had a
wonderful time until it
was getting dark.
‘Being cheerful keeps
you healthy. It is slow
death to be gloomy all
the time.’
Proverbs 17:22

He left the broom on the
back porch. His mother
was cleaning up the
kitchen when she
realized that her broom
was missing. She asked
the little boy about the
broom and he told her
where it was.
St. Peter says, ‘Here's how it
works. You need 100 points to
make it into heaven. You tell
me all the good things you've
done, and I give you a certain
number of points for each
item, depending on how good
it was. When you reach 100
points, you get in’
‘Okay’ the man says, ‘I
attended church every
Sunday’
‘That's good, says St. Peter,
‘that's worth two points’
‘Two points?’ he says. ‘Well, I
gave 10% of all my earnings to
the church’
‘Well, let's see,’ answers
Peter, ‘that's worth another 2
points. Did you do anything
else?’
She then asked him to
please go get it. The little
boy informed his mom
that he was afraid of the
dark and didn't want to
go out to get the broom.
‘Two points? Golly. How about
this: I started a soup kitchen
in my city and worked in a
shelter for homeless veterans’
His mother smiled and
said 'The Lord is out
there too, don't be
afraid'. The little boy
opened the back door a
little and said 'Lord if
you're out there, hand
me the broom'
‘hmmm...,’ the man says, ‘I
was married to the same
woman for 50 years and never
cheated on her, even in my
heart’
‘That's wonderful’ says St.
Peter, ‘that's worth three
points!’
‘Fantastic, that's certainly
worth a point,’ he says
‘THREE POINTS!!’ the man
cries, ‘At this rate the only way
I get into heaven is by the
grace of God!’
‘Come on in!’
Two nuns run out of
gas
Two nuns were taking a
long drive down a
isolated country road
to visit a friend when
they ran out of gas.
Since they were a long
way from the nearest
city, they decided to
walk across a field to a
nearby farmhouse to
get some help. The
farmer graciously
agreed to give them
some gasoline but he
couldn't find a
container to put it in.
After turning the barn
upside down he finally
found an old bedpan
that was a little but
could be used to hold
some gasoline. The
desperate nuns were
willing to take the
gasoline in the bedpan
and walked back
across the field to their
car.
As they were pouring
the gasoline into the
car from the bedpan, a
farmer drove by on his
tractor and stopped.
"Excuse me sisters,"
he said. "I am not a
very religious man, but
I can't help admiring
your faith."
