Who’s in control?
John 21:18-19 “’Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.’ (This he said to show by what kind of death…

John 21:18-19 “’Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.’ (This he said to show by what kind of death…

Exaggeration?
John 21:25 “Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.” Exaggeration: it’s something that all of us are prone to if the truth be told.

How Deep is Your Love?
John 21:17 “He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’” Many years ago, the Bee Gees wrote and recorded the song “How Deep is Your Love?” It’s about the love of a man and a woman struggling with the answer to this question, since no one can ever really…

The Revelation of Christ
John 21:1 “After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way.” It is interesting how every time we read about Jesus encountering people after the resurrection His identity was apparently hidden from them at first. This was true when Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, to the…

The New Life
John 9:3 “Jesus answered, ’It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.’” Do you know anyone whom God has changed; someone that used to be one way, but is now totally transformed? They were a person who lived a life of sin. They were…

Seeing to Believe
John 20:29 “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” God has ordained that it is by hearing the Word of God that belief comes to the heart of an unbeliever, for we are told that “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17). God gave direct…
