Why did Jesus heal the sick? (Zambia)
These healings reveal Jesus’ compassion for suffering mankind. Matthew 14:14 “...He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.” Again, when Jesus healed two blind men, He was “moved with compassion. Jesus touched their eyes and immediately they regained their sight and followed him.” Jesus was moved by man’s suffering. [...]
Did Jesus ever cry?
Yes, he did. We probably think of him as always being joyful as he went about his ministry, but actually, sometimes he felt sad and cried just like we do. Speaking about Jesus, Isaiah says, (53:3) “He was hated and rejected; his life was filled with sorrow and terrible suffering. No one wanted to [...]
What would have been the answer today, if Jesus Christ said to a poor woman that she should get out of his way because the food we give to humans is not given to dogs? (Ghana)
Matthew 15:25-26 (NKJV), “Then she (a Syrophoenician woman) came and worshiped him (Jesus), saying, ‘Lord, help me!’ But He answered and said, ‘It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.’”The Syrophoenicians (Canaanites) opposed the worship of Jehovah in Old Testament times.

1 Corinthians 11:23 -26. What exactly does it mean when it says if any one eat and drink unworthily, he brings damnation to himself? Is that pertaining to sins in our life as Christians? Or before we are converted as Sinners? So, why does it say examine ourselves?
I Corinthians 11:27-29 (NIV), “So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and [...]
Some Christian ministers teach communion should be eaten daily for healing. 1 Corinthians 11:26 does say, "For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till he come."
Communion has its origins in the Jewish Passover, which was observed yearly on the 14th day of the Jewish month of Nisan. As a Jew, Jesus celebrated the Passover throughout his life (Luke 2:41; John 2:23; 6:4). On the last day of his life, he and his disciples first ate the Passover supper. Afterward, Jesus [...]
Who was the last prophet in the Bible and why was John the Baptist called the greatest prophet in the Bible?
John the Baptist was the last and greatest prophet under the Law. Jesus declared that no prophet from the “house of servants” was John’s superior. “There hath not arisen a greater prophet than John the Baptist – and yet I say unto you that the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he” [...]
