John 8

In John Chapter 8 we find Jesus preaching in the temple, when a group of scribes and Pharisees bring a woman caught in the act of adultery to Him for judgement. “…they said to Him, ‘Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman; what then do You say?”, (vs. 4-5). Seems reasonable right? After all adultery is a sin, this woman was clearly guilty, and in Deut. 22:22 and Lev. 20:10 the Bible teaches that the penalty for adultery was death. …

Loving One Another – (John 13)

John 13

When you think of Jesus what is the first thing that pops into your head? For me it is His love. His love that He so freely and joyfully gives to me. A love that is so strong, He laid down His life to call me His own. And I in return love Him. But that isn’t enough. For Jesus wants more than my love, He wants me to love others with the same passion that I reserve for Him. …

Luke 1:14

Have you ever given up on a dream because you think it could never come true? Zacharias had always wanted a child, but his wife Elizabeth was barren. On his own, Zacharias couldn’t make it happen. But with God, all things are possible! When Elizabeth was 60 years old, an angel of the Lord came to Zacharias and told him not only was his wife going to get pregnant, but it would be a boy! God blessed Zacharias with his son John whose great work would be to prepare the hearts of the people to receive the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ.

John 1:14

Could you imagine being John? The disciple fellowshipped, lived, worked, and worshipped with our Lord. John watched how every step Jesus made, and every word He said was an example of God’s truth, grace, and glory. The evidence was clear that Christ wasn’t just His Teacher and Friend, but truly God’s only begotten Son; the  perfect Lamb sent to become the sacrifice for the sins of the world. For John, there was no denying that while He walked the earth, Jesus, who is God in the flesh, was the the perfect representation of the Father and a true reflection of His love and mercy.

John 12:46

Living in the country away from the street and city lights, when the sun sets, the darkness envelops everything. Without the light, it’s impossible to find the way. That’s how it is before we receive Jesus as our Savior. Separated from God, we live in the darkness of sin, doubt, fear, death, and pain. But when we invite Christ into our hearts, the veil of darkness is lifted forever. Not only do we become reconciled again to our Father in heaven and receive the light of His peace, love, grace, and mercy, we also become reflections of that Light to a darkened world.

John 1:4

Jesus is life. He is the Fountain of life, the Sustainer of life, and the Source of life. And because of His great love for both us and the Father, He willingly left His place at the right hand of God to pay our sin debt with His precious blood. With His death and resurrection, Jesus forever conquered death and darkness. And when we receive Him into our hearts as our Savior, He gathers us into His life giving light. Never again will we be in darkness, for when Christ calls us His own, He shines brightly upon us for all eternity.
