Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, St. John prophesied of a new heaven and a new earth where God would dwell with His people in an intimate joy that goes beyond what we can comprehend. (Rev 21:1-5)  Looking Jesus in the eyes and listening to His words, we have clear instructions on how to travel joyfully on the journey home...

In the eyes of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, we discover a love that can never exhausts nor fades...

Once upon a time, a miraculous catch of fish brought Peter to his knees before Jesus confessing that he was a sinner (Lk 5:8), to which Jesus responded with amazing mercy.  Perhaps fearful of his future after betraying Jesus during the passion (Lk 22:61), a miraculous catch of fish brought Peter once again in his unworthiness face to face with the Jesus...

In intimacy with the Father, Jesus emptied Himself for us...that the reign of sin, shame and death would be entirely  undone  in us through the passionate love of Jesus Christ.

As Abraham gazed upon the stars (Gen 15:5), God assured him that He would keep His promise to Abraham.  In the New Covenant relationship Jesus brings us into, we are blessed to be partakers of the divine nature (2 Pet 1:4) who carry a promise that we will be conformed to Jesus.  (Rom 8:29 & Phil 3:21)
