  • Chastened, Yet Not Consumed

    Jesus’ suffering is no ordinary suffering. His were not the wounds of personal failure or deserved judgment. Every blow He bore, every stripe He endured, every crushing weight that fell upon Him—was ours. Here is the Suffering Servant, chastened, and not killed—not in the ultimate sense—for through His wounding came…

  • By His Stripes

    There’s a quiet horror in our selected passage. It moves swiftly—almost too swiftly—from injustice to violence to death. Yet within those few words lies the weight of our redemption. Pilate, knowing full well that Jesus was innocent, chose public approval over truth. And so the sinless Son of God was…

  • As Having Nothing—Yet Possessing All

    Here is the mystery of godliness wrapped in humility. The eternal Son, equal with the Father in glory, did not cling to His divine rights. He emptied Himself. Not by subtraction of His deity, but by the addition of humanity. He who spoke worlds into being took on a body…

  • A Life Set Ablaze

    “He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works.”— Titus 2:14, BSB Redeemed for More There’s a kind of gravity to this verse in Titus. It carries the weight of the cross and…

  • Sheltered in the Shadow of His Wings

    Sheltered in the Shadow of His Wings

    Read: Psalm 57:1–6Berean Standard Bible There are moments when the storm is so fierce, the pressure so heavy, and the opposition so relentless, that all we can do is cry out for mercy. David, hidden away in the dark cave, hunted by Saul like an animal, pens this psalm with…

  • Where Is Your Comfort?

    “This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has revived me.” — Psalm 119:50 (BSB) The Shared Experience of AfflictionAffliction is no stranger. It walks the roads we travel—sometimes hidden in the shadows, sometimes sitting plain at our table. And it comes to all. To the wise and…
