MAAKU 14:30

Life & Death. You may encounter them both daily, you might even say they are a part of this life. Jesus, though, is the "prince of life": He died and rose again from the dead; He has the final word.

The pages of the Gospels are littered with words, thoughts and actions that reveal to us how radical and unconventional, our Saviour, Jesus Christ was when he walked the earth. This devotional offers a brief glimpse into four occasions in the Gospels where Jesus' actions revealed just how differently he behaved to those around him and challenges us today to walk a bit more like him.
