Scripture Focus: Mark 15 As I was reading Mark 15, I tried to place myself in Jesus’ position and imagine what He must have felt. Jesus went through everything because of you and me. He did not even want to be hurt that way. Who would want to be humiliated, flogged, and crucified? Yet He…

In Mark 14, we witness a powerful contrast between human weakness and divine love. A woman comes to Jesus and pours expensive perfume on Him, and Jesus declares, “She has done a beautiful thing to me” (Mark 14:6). Her act of worship flowed from a heart filled with gratitude and reverence. She was not concerned about the…

Scripture Focus: Mark 13 In Mark 13, Jesus lovingly warns His disciples, “Watch out that no one deceives you” (Mark 13:5). This is not meant to create fear, but awareness. Deception can only take root when we are distant from God. That is why Jesus invites us into an intimate relationship with Him—so we can recognize His…

As today marks the beginning of Lent for Catholics, I found myself meditating on the meaning of Lent and what it represents spiritually. Lent is a season set aside for preparation, repentance, and spiritual discipline, inspired by the forty days Jesus spent fasting and praying in the wilderness. This reflection is not about following a…

Scripture Focus: Mark 12 In Mark 12, Jesus reveals who He truly is and what it means to belong fully to God. He is the stone the builders rejected who has become the cornerstone (Mark 12:10). Though rejected by many, Jesus remains firm in truth and teaches the way of God with integrity, not swayed…

Scripture Focus: Mark 11 In Mark 11, we see Jesus revealed as a King who has authority over all things. When He sent two of His disciples to bring Him a colt, He did so with complete confidence, knowing exactly where it would be and what would happen (Mark 11:1–3). Everything in this world belongs…

Scripture Focus: Mark 10 In Mark 10, we see a beautiful picture of who Jesus is and how He relates to people. When the rich young man came to Him, Scripture tells us that “Jesus looked at him and loved him” (Mark 10:21). Even before giving him a difficult truth, Jesus responded with love. This reminds us…

Scripture Focus: Mark 9 In Mark 9:6, Peter speaks without knowing what to say because he is afraid. Faced with the glory of Jesus, his fear leads him to fill the moment with words instead of quiet trust. How often do we do the same? When we do not understand what God is doing, we…

Scripture Focus: Mark 8 In Mark 8, we see that Jesus was tested many times during His ministry. The Pharisees asked Him for signs, not because they truly wanted to believe, but to test Him. This reminds us that even today, faith can be challenged by doubt, pressure, and the expectations of others. Jesus’ response…

Scripture Focus: Mark 7 In Mark 7, Jesus reminds us that true worship is not found only in words but in the posture of our hearts. “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” This verse invites us to examine ourselves honestly: Are we worshiping God in vain, or are we…
