John 8

Thoughts on John 8:1-59. (v.9). Interesting that Johns mentions that the older ones left the scene after Jesus challenged them about their judgment of the woman caught in adultery. Life and age has a way of making you more humble than you were in your youth. (v.31-32). The phrase "once saved, always saved" has been incredibly damaging in church culture. I believe t...

John 7

Thoughts on John 7:1-52. (v.1-8). Jesus' brothers were trying to persuade him to go more public with his ministry. He resisted. It then says that even his brothers did not believe in him. That's striking. It seems like they did believe in him because they wanted him to go big time with his ministry. But, it seems that it is possible to hang around Jesus and even be invo...

John 6

It's Saturday and that means my mind is filled with what I'll be speaking on tomorrow out of Colossians so just a few thoughts on John 6. By the way, this is one of the most jaw dropping chapters in the Bible. Incredible scene. Make it one of those chapters you come back to and chew on now and then. A few thoughts on John 6:1-71 (v.5-6). Jesus tests us. Chew on that fo...

John 5

Some brief thoughts on John 5:1-47 (v.6). What a question! Do you want to be healed? Why did Jesus ask him this question? Makes me think about when I stuck in a rut either by sin or some circumstance. Do I really want to get out of it? Or am I just content to sort of lay there and be pitiful and blame others? (v.18). The real issue was that Jesus was calling God hi...

John 4

Reading today is John 4:1-54. Lots in this chapter. Several different scenes, much to chew on. Some brief thoughts on John 4: (v.4). Jesus was tired. Seems like a minor detail, but it is huge. Jesus is fully God, but He is also fully human. Hebrews 2:14-18 tells us how important this truth is. He had to be made like us in every way so that he could be a satisfactory su...

John 3

John 3 is one of the most beautiful and important chapters in the Bible. Innumerable books have been written about the truth that springs from just this one chapter. Here are just a few simple thoughts. This should be one of those chapters in the Bible that we frequent often. Some thoughts on John 3:1-36: (v.3). We are not born Christians. We are born sinners, and sepa...

John 2

Some thoughts on John 2:1-25: (v.3) Mary tells Jesus that they are out of wine. Why? It seems there was this expectation that he could do something about it? Was she wanting him to run down to the corner market and buy some more to bail out the host? Seems like there must be something more to her statementan expectation that Jesus could change the situation. (v.5) ...

Tribe, Day one of the Daniel fast and as I mentioned we'll be reading through the gospel of John through the end of January. There are 21 chapters, and 21 days left in January, so we'll do a chapter a day. My plan is to post some simple thoughts from the corresponding chapter each day. Read along with me and record your own thoughts. A few thoughts on John 1:1-51: (v....
