Peter denied Jesus three times while standing near a charcoal fire. Jesus was there by a charcoal fire when he asked Peter three times, "Do you love me?" Does Jesus know experientially (ginosko) that you love him as well as intellectually/informationally (oidas)?

That You May Believe

29_Do you love me?

Can you imagine imagine what Mary of Magdala went through? In just a few days, she experienced such a broad range of emotions, having seen the crucifixion, the burial, the empty tomb, and now the risen Lord?

28_I've Seen the Lord

Jesus knew what was before him! That is why he chose the time (Passover), the place (entering Jerusalem), and the mode of transportation ("Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it") so the people could celebrate his glorification to take place on the cross.

27_Your King is Coming

What is the reality that Jesus was pointing to when he said, "...for this person I have come into the world--to bear witness to the truth." Pilate even asked, "What is truth?"

26_What Really is Truth

Did you know that Jesus prayed and still prays for you? Think about that for a second… Robert Murray M’Cheyne, a 19th-century Scottish minister, said, “If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet the distance makes no difference; he is praying for me!”

25_The Real Lords Prayer

We will face trials and temptations in this world, so how can we be overcomers? Jesus says we can share in his victory.

24_Being Overcomers

What is it that you believe about the Holy Spirit? Jesus promised that He (the Helper) would be sent to convict, to guide, and to glorify.

23_The Coming Helper Pt.2

Are you being persecuted? Do you feel at times as if the world hates you? Jesus said it would happen if you are a true disciple.

22_Love versus Hate

Does it bring you any comfort to know that God is for you, with you, and "in' you? Jesus promised another helper of the same kind to come and dwell with us and in us!

21_The Coming Helper

Do you have a servant's heart? Do you love according to Jesus' directive - 'as I have loved you'?

20_"What have you done, Lord?"

What if it is the fourth day... when all hope is gone? Do you still believe that Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life?

19_The Resurrection and the Life

Those moments when you think you understood, only to find out that you missed a couple of important clues! As to his identity, Jesus said, "I have told you..." Do you believe?

18_Following His Voice

What is going on around you that you can use to "display the works of God"? Jesus used a marginalized, 'unclean' man blind from birth.

17_Displaying the Works of God

What did Jesus mean when he said, "Truly,truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am." The Pharisees knew exactly what he meant, so they tried to stone him. Jesus was saying that He and the Father are one. Who is Jesus to you?

16_The Truth about Jesus

The question is often raised as to whether or not we should judge others? Two questions must be answered: 1) What do you mean when by "judge"? and, 2) Is it even possible not to make some form of judgment? In John 7:24 Jesus says, "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."

15_Condoning, Condemning, or Confronting?

How big is your God? Is your God eternal, creative, personal, and divine? john says that Jesus is the Word that was with God in the beginning and that all things were created through him, but he also came in the flesh to dwell with humanity!
