By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:34-35). Jesus said this is aContinueContinue reading “A New Commandment? (John 13:34-35)”

Though He Fall… (John 13:18-33, 36-38)
Without Christ we are hopefully lost, but with Christ we have a blessed hope. King David wrote, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hands” (Psalm 37:23-24). ThisContinueContinue reading “Though He Fall… (John 13:18-33, 36-38)”
Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet (John 13:1-17)
https://www.youtube.com/live/v37CVjFR-5g?si=K0a7BX6uDMKHjnRB&t=2935 We are now at Chapter 13 in which Jesus shares the Passover meal with His disciples and prepares them for His upcoming death, resurrection, and ascension. In a few days, Jesus would be crucified as a sacrifice offering to God for sin for His followers. Three days after, Jesus would be resurrected to provideContinueContinue reading “Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet (John 13:1-17)”
The Close of Jesus’ Public Ministry (John 12:12-50)
https://www.youtube.com/live/8TX02Q_V_3A?si=TBpHuZTJ8Me9NJGy&t=2813 Everything Jesus did and said was intentional. Paul told us, “when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons” (Gal 4:4-5). At the beginning of Jesus’ publicContinueContinue reading “The Close of Jesus’ Public Ministry (John 12:12-50)”
Jesus is Anointed (John 12:1-8)
https://www.youtube.com/live/UvHvsRoO92Q?si=RXX8HWDCC-7HXnNd&t=3121 Jesus performed many signs to show that He is the Christ, the Son of God. The crowds, however, were confused about Him: His identity and His mission. Who is He? Is He the Messiah? Is He the King who will free us from Roman occupation? Is He a madman? Is He a blasphemer whoContinueContinue reading “Jesus is Anointed (John 12:1-8)”
The Prophecy of Caiaphas (John 11:46-57)
https://www.youtube.com/live/7jhidYT7984?si=kNmYi2UWOs3c3jaF&t=2570 In the Old Covenant, the high priest was the supreme religious figure in Israel. He oversaw the functions of all the priests and was chosen by God.

The Resurrection of Lazarus (John 11:1-45)
https://www.youtube.com/live/bV5FwG2fOlA?si=h47rtHbbJ4oLSMAo&t=2556 Signs were miracles (usually public) that were meant to authenticate Jesus’ claim to be the Christ, the Son of God. The signs were verifiable proof that Jesus was sent from God (3:2). Jesus has already demonstrated that He can heal someone who is sick (4:50), restore someone who is crippled (5:8), and give sightContinueContinue reading “The Resurrection of Lazarus (John 11:1-45)”
Invest Your Treasure (Proverbs 3:9-10)
https://www.youtube.com/live/JBRyZ-nL5-A?si=qyAjyg9_it3Y0VLQ&t=2476 God grants to us two types of treasure: spiritual and earthly. Our spiritual treasure is “an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:4). Our earthly treasure is that which God entrusts to us in this world. We must be careful with our earthlyContinueContinue reading “Invest Your Treasure (Proverbs 3:9-10)”
Minister your Gift (1 Peter 4:10)
https://www.youtube.com/live/2c6VDSrOdmc?si=8Fi0vKKxLT0Si2Wp&t=2324 A true sign of genuine faith is the desire and commitment to honor your Lord with your life. One way we honor God is to minister the spiritual gift(s) we have received for the good of others and the glory of God. In 1 Peter 4:10-11, Peter wrote: “As each one has received aContinueContinue reading “Minister your Gift (1 Peter 4:10)”
Honor God with Your Time (Psalm 90:12)
https://www.youtube.com/live/Gzn1qzafgVY?si=FsrNLi4iCh0Ujod1&t=2040 Time is precious. You only get a certain amount of it and once it is gone, it can never be recovered. In Acts 17, the Apostle Paul told the men of Athens that “the Lord of heaven and earth…has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face ofContinueContinue reading “Honor God with Your Time (Psalm 90:12)”
