1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of JudasContinue reading “John 13: 1-14….Something which the other 3 gospels writers don’t mention!”

John 11: 45-55….The Plot to Kill Jesus
Introduction: If you read my devotionals daily then four days ago you will have read what caused what you are reading about today. Lazarus was raised from the dead! The background: Step one! Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, but some ofContinue reading “John 11: 45-55….The Plot to Kill Jesus”
John 11: (portions) 1-44….Another ‘Unbelievable’ record – but they saw it!
1 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.”Continue reading “John 11: (portions) 1-44….Another ‘Unbelievable’ record – but they saw it!”
Mark 15: 42-47….Did Jesus have a death Certificate?
And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate was surprised toContinue reading “Mark 15: 42-47….Did Jesus have a death Certificate?”
Mark 13: 1-13….Past, Present and Future!
Comment: Jesus is obviously here talking about future events. The question (v4) asked by the disciples was almost certainly related to Jesus’ statement about the destruction of the physical temple which they were admiring. Jesus’ answer is much wider! I think that there has been much division caused between Christians and confusion in unbelievers becauseContinue reading “Mark 13: 1-13….Past, Present and Future!”
A search for Truth….How would you define it?
Comment 1: We live in a world when the concept of ‘truth’ is bandied about ending up with many people accepting, even if I’m not sure that they believe, that truth is what every person individually decides! To quote Francis Schaeffer that erstwhile popular ‘theologian’, as reported in Wikipedia, ‘”True truth,” a term popularized byContinue reading “A search for Truth….How would you define it?”
John 16: 4b-15….What will the Holy Spirit do?
“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you theContinue reading “John 16: 4b-15….What will the Holy Spirit do?”
John 14:15-24….Part of Jesus long farewell talk with His disciples.
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and willContinue reading “John 14:15-24….Part of Jesus long farewell talk with His disciples.”
John 15: 21-24….The future told for Peter and John.
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”Continue reading “John 15: 21-24….The future told for Peter and John.”
John 20: 24-31…. Doubting, if followed up can lead to Wise Choices!
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 placeContinue reading “John 20: 24-31…. Doubting, if followed up can lead to Wise Choices!”
