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…

Doubt
John 20:24-29 “Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, ‘We have seen the Lord.’ But he said to them, ‘Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand…

Is there a better way?
John 21:6 “He said to them, ‘Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.’ So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.” Have you ever thought about how little you really know about just about anything? The way…

Could it be . . .?
John 21:11-12 “So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, ‘Come and have breakfast.’ Now none of the disciples dared ask him, ‘Who are you?’ They knew it was the Lord.” Have you ever had something…

A Message to YOU!
John 20:30-31 “Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” Though we may not often think of it this way, the…

The Blessed
John 20:29 “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” When the Bible speaks in the present tense, as it so often does, it does so to show us the way things are, right now, at this very moment, not the way things will be. In the verse above we can make…

The Twin
John 20:24 “Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin . . .” One aspect of Bible study that can help us to understand what it says what it does is to remember that every single word that is in the Bible has a purpose. God isn’t redundant in the way He communicates, unless…
