Jesus Christ was about ready to go to the cross to die for our sins. And the purpose for which he died on that cross is that we might now die to sin and live to righteousness, that we might now live for him, and not for ourselves, and that we might now honor God with our bodies instead of...

The first sheep mentioned in this passage of Scripture were the Jews of the Old Covenant. The “other sheep” mentioned are the Gentiles who Jesus said that he must bring in also, and there will be ONE FLOCK under ONE SHEPHERD Jesus Christ (see Ephesians 2:11-22). All who are of genuine faith in...

Zechariah was the father of John the Baptist, and after John was born he gave this prophesy regarding Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who was yet to be born, and regarding God’s call upon the life of Zechariah’s son John the Baptist, that he would be the one to go before the Lord Jesus to...

He’s hurting, he’s crying, No tears on outside. He’s injured, he’s stirring, All now kept inside. He’s failing for words To say all that he feels. He cannot express, Cannot make his appeals. His outside is inside, Trapped now in his skin, Knows not where to turn, And his faith’s wearing thin...

Christ was crucified in death And He breathed His final breath. Laid Him in a tomb, they did, While His followers, oh, they hid. Women at the tomb they saw He was risen, oh what awe. Told His followers. They did, too. What He promised, He came through. Shown Himself He did to many So their...

And the Word was God If we read on down in John 1 to verses 29-36 we will learn that “The Word” is Jesus Christ, who is the living breathing Word of God. Jesus was with God in the beginning, and he is God, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And he is our...

What Jesus Did For Us Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who is God, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob – left his throne in heaven, came to earth, was born as a baby to a human mother, but was conceived of the Holy...

[NT stands for New Testament and NC stands for New Covenant] We have many people today within the gatherings of what are called “churches” who are teaching what is “not according to Christ,” and which is not according to the teachings of his New Testament apostles, but which is according to...

Loneliness and longing Want to feel belonging Searching for direction Asking God a question What on earth’s my purpose? Am I just a goofus? Do I really matter? Am I torn and tattered? Am I just a nothing? Or do I have something In me that is useful? Can I now be fruitful? Jesus has the...

I found this definition of idolatry online: Now, what my mind was being led to the past several days, really, is this whole subject of “Jesus is the reason for the season,” which I keep seeing promoted on social media. But then what I mainly see being posted by people are images of Jesus as a...

Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who is God, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – left his throne in heaven, came to the earth, and was born as a baby to a human mother, but conceived of the Holy Spirit and not of man. So he was not born with a sin...

When we believe in Jesus Christ with genuine God-ordained, God-given, and God-persuaded faith in Jesus Christ, this is what our relationship with the Lord Jesus should look like. And yes, I know this is Old Testament, but it is also New Testament teaching. For we are taught in the New Testament...

Is He there, or barely mentioned? Does He fit with all the tension? Is He in the ribbons, wrappings? Is He in the culture’s trappings? Is He in the food and parties? Overeating, faith departing? Is He in the twisted humor? Is He in the stories rumored? Is He in the decorations? Is He in the...

“So Jesus again said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to...

“On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when...
