This is a piece of matzo bread that you can get at any deli in New York City. At CityLight, we use it for our communion celebrations. Notice 3 things about the matzo: it’s pierced, burned, and striped. This is a prophetic picture of what Jesus did for us at the cross. He was pierced for […]
This is a photo of a typical NYC ambulance. The most visible symbol on it is the serpent wrapped around a pole. Take a look next time an ambulance passes you by or you are visiting someone in the hospital. The serpent on the pole is everywhere. This symbol is associated with the medical profession […]
Jesus is extreme. Here was a Man who descended into society and claimed to be the Son of God. He spent His life teaching that anyone who gave him or herself over to worshipping Him would have eternal life. Jesus is extreme, and there is no way around it. When we encounter Jesus Christ, we […]
Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 16th, 2013. Father’s Day doesn’t seem to get the same fanfare that Mother’s Day does. Fair enough. Mothers are a tough group to compete against. I mean, they gave birth to you. How can a father hold a candle to that? While fathers haven’t carried children for nine months […]
God does not always give us all the information. He doesn’t always tell us exactly how everything is going to turn out in advance. We can, however, still be 100% sure that He works all things together for our good when we love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). How do […]

In Luke 17, Jesus heals ten lepers. What happens after that is appalling, and Jesus was not shy about expressing his disappointment: Luke 17:15-19: And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. […]
Jesus is a worm. Psalm 22:6: “But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.” The Hebrew word for worm here is tola’ath. This is the crimson worm that was very common to the region of old Israel and was used in the dyeing of garments to […]
Zechariah 9:11-12: “As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.” God tells us that whenever we return to Him, because of the blood […]
Have you ever thought about death? Have you ever thought about eternity?
