The Crucifixion

There is no greater love than that of Jesus, for He died for us.

Origin

The New Testament; Mark 15

Story

Jesus was betrayed by Judas, one of His disciples, and was then taken before Pontius Pilate. The people urged Pontius to release a murderer named Barabas to them and to crucify Jesus.

They had Him flogged and tortured, and made Him carry his own cross up the hill where He was to be killed. They pierced his limbs, after which they nailed him to the cross and placed a sign above Him that read “King of the Jews.” Jesus cried out to God and then He died. All this happened according to the prophecy that Prophet Isaiah had made, which said the one God chose to take the punishment of the sins of His people would die in silence and would be hung on a tree.

Moral

Jesus was sent to take our sins on Him and suffer death in our place.

Jesus instead said “Martha, you worry and become upset about too many things. Mary has chosen to do the right thing.”

The Ten Virgins

This is a parable that Jesus told His followers to teach them the importance of living Holy lives.

Origin

The New Testament; Matthew 25

Story

Jesus told His followers a story of ten virgins who went out to meet a bridegroom. Five were fools, and five of them were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps with them, but they did not take any oil. The five wise women carried extra oil in jars.

The bridegroom was taking a long time to come, and soon, all the women fell asleep. Their lamps all burned out.

At midnight, there was a cry that the bridegroom was arriving and that they were to go and greet him. The five foolish women asked the wise women to lend them some oil, but the wise women refused, as there was not enough for two lamps and that they should go and buy some oil.

When they went about their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived, and the wise women welcomed and entered into the banquet hall with him. When the other 5 returned and asked to be let in, they were refused.

Moral

Live lives that are pleasing to God because you never know when the time will come for Him to take you home.

Faithful Daughter

Jesus healed many people when He was on earth. People would crowd around Him, hoping to get to just touch his garments, so that they could be healed.

Origin

The New Testament; Matthew 9

Story

A ruler came before Jesus and knelt down, asking Jesus to go with him to his home and raise his daughter from the dead. All Jesus had to do was lay his hands on her.

Jesus agreed, and as He was going to the girl’s home, a large crowd gathered about him. Among them was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. She thought that if she only got to touch His clothes, she would be healed. When Jesus felt power leave Him, he turned to see who was responsible. She was afraid that perhaps Jesus was angry, but this was not the case as Jesus was pleased with her. He said to her “Take heart, daughter, for your faith has made you well.”

When Jesus reached the home of the ruler, He took the young girl by the hand, and she got up, alive and well.

Moral

Miracles through Jesus are possible, all you have to do is have faith.
