Hagar was Sarah’s maidservant. According to Sarah’s wishes, she bore a son for Abraham. However, this led to Sarah’s anger and resentment. Eventually, following Sarah’s command, Abraham sent Hagar and her son away with a skin of water and a small amount of food. She wandered aimlessly in the wilderness of Beersheba, lost and uncertain. Overcome with grief and despair, Hagar’s eyes were clouded with sorrow. Yet, having lived in Abraham’s household, she had developed an inner perception and the ability to listen. Likewise, her physical senses remained strong. The angel of the Lord appeared to her and said, "God has heard the cry of the child; do not be afraid." Hagar’s Condition: She was cast out from Abraham’s household. She was wandering alone. She had no water in the wilderness. Amid these hardships, she was on the verge of death. Hagar’s story teaches us that "God’s help comes to us in our greatest distress." She was in deep despair, lost and withou...

The Samaritans were the people living in and around Shomron (Samaria) . They were descendants of the ten tribes of Israel from the Old Testament. However, over time, they drifted from their faith and intermingled with other nations, losing their religious purity. Because of this, the tribe of Judah (the Jews of today) did not associate with them and kept them at a distance. Their words and interactions reveal the deep-rooted division and animosity between the two groups. When Jesus Christ came to the well , He spoke with a Samaritan woman and led her to salvation . Just as a fisherman casts a net, Christ gently drew her into the Kingdom with the gospel. An Example from Nature Consider a person trying to tame a wild dove . If he approaches too quickly , the dove flies away . If he throws a stone , it might die. Instead, he scatters grains . The dove comes, eats, and flies away . He scatters more grains , and again, the dove eats and flies away . But over time, as the dove gets...

Prayer: O Father, who is worthy of praise! We thank You for granting us the grace to gather in Your temple. We are once again here to meditate on Your Word, so we seek the help of Your Spirit.

When the infant Lord was brought to the temple, she too entered. She was deeply devoted to fasting and prayer, and the temple was her dwelling place. With 84 years of life experience, she spent her days in worship, eagerly awaiting th...

Prayer: Heavenly Father, just as Hindus and Jews remain devoted to their beliefs, we pray that those in the Bible Mission stay steadfast in their faith. You are the one who established this mission and continue to lead it. Strengthen each member to uphold their commitment with sincerity and devotion. Salvation is not found in a mission itself but in faith in You. Just as You called me to this path, guide others to embrace it with humility and purpose. If the Lutheran Mission is the mother mission, then the Bible Mission is the father mission. Regardless of background or denomination, may all be welcomed into Your truth. Our purpose is not to condemn other faiths, missions, or individuals but to seek the well-being of all. Keep us from pride and self-righteousness, and grant us the grace to boast only in You.We pray this in the name of our soon-coming Lord, Amen. Esther – A Foreshadow of the Bride of Christ Baptism serves as an initiation for believers, just as Esther (meaning ...
