It's for your own good
How children hate to hear that! Yet that's exactly what Jesus says about His own death. The disciples mourned - I think that even today we sometimes still wish He was here - and yet He knew God's plan…

The Father's love... and yet
Jesus says "As the Father has loved me" knowing that even so, God also sent Him to serve as sacrifice for our sins. So if "so have I loved you" how can we complain if we also asked to sacrifice ourselves…

Hating life?
"Whosoever hates his life".... somehow I've always taken this to mean "willing to surrender it." But what if it really means HATES HUS LIFE? As in, "God, I'm miserable, I can't take it any more, get me…

Jesus knows the journey is hard
At hearing of Lazarus' death, Jesus says that He was glad He was not present to stop it. This is so we may believe; it is for the glory of God. When He goes to Bethany, He already knows He will raise…

Jesus-manna vs. Moses-manna
Jesus-manna is the bread of life, that we may not perish. Moses-manna is a test -- a proving -- that we promptly fail. We cannot gather God's grace through our actions, but if we come to Jesus we shall…

You say, 'we see', therefore your sin remains
Oh, the risk involved in believing we understand the truth -- self-deception is SUCH an easy trap!

Why doesn't Jesus condemn sinners?
I'm confused. Over and over Christ says He did not come to judge the world. He treated sinners as those who are sick -- in need of healing. Here we have no evidence that the woman repented of her sin,…

How did knowing the law blind the Pharisees?
Is it just pride in their knowledge? Because Christ didn't fit their image of the Messiah? I think this is an ongoing danger. We read, we study, we ponder, until we think we know. Yet God's ways are…

A miracle in their hands
Jesus gave the bread & fish to the disciples - they even had to share between themselves - and told them to hand out the food. He placed the miracle in their human hands. He could've multiplied the loaves…

You search the Scriptures but miss the Savior
Humbling. Terrifying. We can spend our whole lives seeking Him, and completely miss Him in the process. Don 't work so hard that you miss the forest for the trees.

Some believed because of the woman
Some believed in Christ from the woman's testimony; others had to go talk with Him themselves. Both got to the end goal. Do not give up on someone who remains skeptical after hearing your testimony!

Christ lifted up as Moses lifted up the serpent
I've always loved this verse. Christ must be lifted up as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness -- that comes from Numbers 21:4-9. Because of the people's sin, God sent fiery serpents to punish…

Great example of non-linear time in the Bible
John tells of the wedding at Canada, where Christ says His time has not come. John then mentions a short trip, then the Passover. Three things that happened, but not necessarily immediately sequential.…

Even John did not know Christ before His baptism
Get this - John has been proclaiming the coming Messiah, but did not recognize it would be his own cousin. I'm guessing that since Mary visited Elizabeth, the two boys knew each other, and yet John did…

Angels ascending & descending?
This sounds suspiciously like Jacob's ladder. Is it possible he saw a form of Christ?
