The Humble Leader
(John 13:12-18) A great part of the life and ministry of Jesus was teaching by example. He taught the disciples many things in words, which they wrote down for our instruction, and He also provided visible examples of what He was teaching in His actions. Often in this world we see the exact opposite. I…

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…

Jesus Washing the Disciples Feet
(John 13:1-7) One of the strongest visual images we get of Jesus is that of Him washing the feet of His disciples. He is trying to teach His disciples an important lesson in His actions and not to them only but to us also. The power of this simple action is enormous. It speaks volumes…

Help Me Father God
(John 12:44-46) How many times have you heard these words uttered, “Help me Father God?” Perhaps you have uttered them yourself in a time of darkness or despair when everything seemed hopeless. Seeking the help of the Father in such situations is normal, for Jesus taught us to pray to the Father and He told…

Overcoming Fear
(John 12:37-43) Recently I have seen many people who have been overcome by fear. They have been paralysed or strung out and have withdrawn into themselves through the power of fear. This is a terrible situation because fear is a great limiter on our lives. Overcoming fear brings release to your life and allows you…

Jesus Is The Light
(John 12:33-36) Light and darkness. Day and night. The two cannot exist together for they are incompatible. What is more interesting though is that whenever these two come together, it is the light that dominates and dissipates the darkness. The darkness and the night cease to exist at the coming of the light. The darkness…

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…

Serving Jesus
(John 12:25-26) How do we go about serving Jesus? What are the steps, behaviours and actions that represent serving Jesus? I am sure that you can think of many of the things you can and should do to be serving Jesus, but Jesus himself gave us an interesting insight into this matter in these scriptures.…

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…

Hosanna In The Highest
(John 12:12-19) When Jesus entered into Jerusalem the final time, his fame had spread far and wide. The people recognised His power and kingship as they spread branches of palm trees on the ground and cried out praises like, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,” and “Hosanna in the Highest.”…
