  • Peter Denies Jesus

    (John 18:15-18, 25-27) Jesus had previously spoken to Peter telling him that Peter would deny Jesus three times before the cock crowed. Peter had vehemently said that he would never do such a thing, but Jesus knew better. In these scriptures we see the situation unfold and the words of Jesus come to pass. We…

  • Why Jesus Died

    (John 16:4-7) There are many advantages to being a Christian and knowing Jesus Christ. The full number of them may never be known by us as individuals. However in this section of scripture we see that Jesus points to the specific advantage that we received not through His coming, but by His going. By this…

  • You Are Clean

    (John 13:7-11) This post continues the discussion of Jesus washing the disciples feet. In his conversation with Peter, Jesus said, “You are clean.” He went on though to show they were not all clean for He knew Judas was unclean and was to betray Him. Now it is evident that by these words when Jesus…

  • Satan Cast Out

    (John 12:31-32) Two strong pieces of information are contained in these two verse. One that could and should strike fear into the hearts of mankind, but only those who are not followers of Jesus. The second is a declaration of the hope of salvation and the promise of the Lord. There are insights here about…

  • Trust and Obey

    (John 12:27-30) There is an old hymn that many Christians will know or at least have heard of called Trust and Obey. It gave a great message about the need to show both of these attitudes as a Christian for if we are to enter God’s kingdom we must do both. In this section of…

  • Unless a Grain of Wheat Falls into the Earth and Dies

    (John 12:20-24) Here is an interesting teaching where Jesus speaks in parables about his coming death and resurrection. It is here that He recognises that the purpose of His coming was to die and be raised for the purpose of building the church. He uses the analogy that unless a grain of wheat falls into…

  • Plotting Against Jesus

    (John 11:45-53) After Lazarus was raised from the dead, a great many of the Jews believed in Him. They recognised the power of God in Jesus for no one had ever seen a man resurrected before. This confounded the leaders, the chief priests and the Pharisees and threw them into despair. They were utterly at…

  • Unstoppable

    (John 10:17-21) There are some things in this world that are considered unstoppable and unchangeable. The rising and setting of the sun, the ebb and flow of the tides and of course those classics…death and taxes! But in truth all of these things are really only temporary and there will come a time when they…

  • The Truth Will Make You Free

    (John 8:31-38) This is a scripture of the Bible that is often quoted. So many, many times I have heard people say, “The truth will make you free.” And it is not just in Christian circles that this is quoted. But how many people know what it is really talking about? How often do the…

  • Eating the Flesh and Blood of Christ

    (John 6:52-65) What on earth is going on here? Is the Lord suggesting we become cannibals or vampires? He is saying that we need to eat his flesh and drink his blood, which sounds pretty sick. In fact there are laws in the Old Testament that strictly forbid such practices, so what is going on…

  • The Burial of Jesus

    (Luke 23:50-56) When they took Jesus down after he had died, he had to be buried. And in his burial we see two lessons or two things that we can learn from. One of these was to do with the burial itself, and the other to do with who was involved in the burial. In…

  • Jesus Dies: Earth’s Darkest Hour

    (Luke 23:44-49) The hour had come for the Lord to depart from this earth. All had been accomplished that he needed to do while he was here and it was now time for the next stage of the work to be done. He had trained his disciples to the point that they needed to be…
