John 17 contains probably the most important and most powerful prayer ever made, Jesus prays for the body of Christ. Pay particular attention to the points in the specifically for you; “My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you. All who are mine belong to you, and you have given them to me, so they bring me glory. Now I am departing from the world;...

Continuing from John chapter 14, in today's devotional, Jesus gives us the ministry or work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not wind or a dove or a feeling, he is a person. He guides us into the truth. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. John 16:13 NLT. The one...

In today's devotional, John gives us so many important revelation of Christ; Christ is the way to the Father. Christ is in the Father and the Father is in him. Christ is the true vine, outside him, we will wither off and die. Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now...

In today's devotional, Christ teaches us the importance of feet washing and then gives the disciples a new commandment. "After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’...

Listen to the words of Christ; "Jesus shouted to the crowds, “If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent me. For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me.

In today's devotional, we read about Jesus raising Lazarus, his friend who had been dead for 4 days back to life. In doing this, Jesus declares that; he is the resurrection. What did he mean? Jesus told Martha; "Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe...

Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? That was the question Jesus asked the man he had just healed. "“Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?” “It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him. We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned u...

During the conclusion of today's devotional, we prayed together for God to gives a revelation of Jesus and the truth that sets free.

Jesus the light of the world! In our devotional today, Jesus makes a very profound statement with universal ramifications; "Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John 8:12 NLT. If Jesus is the light of the world, then rejecting Jesus equates to choosing d...

In today's devotional, we asked ourselves some difficult questions; same questions those following Jesus would have been confronted with. Our first question was from Jesus' disciples deciding they couldn't follow him anymore because he had told them they needed to eat his flesh and drink his blood; "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and...

In today's devotional, Jesus compares himself to the manna that God gave the children when they were in the wilderness. The lesson of the manna in the wilderness was simple, the people had to gather it every day apart from the sabbath, this was to teach them that man shall not live by bread alone but by following God's instructions. Ultimately, the manna stopped. Jesus is the real bread. The bread...

Hear the words of Jesus; "In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge, so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him. “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be...

In today's devotional, Jesus shares with us the secret to eternal life, to having a relationship with God and to escape the coming judgement on the world.

In today's devotional, we begin reading a new book, the gospel of John. John's gospel take is exceptionally unique in that John's gives us a revelation of Jesus Christ like no other gospel writer.

Jesus, the Word is also...

We've looked at this scene from many angle but today, I want to focus on the significance of the words Jesus spoke, both on his way and on the cross.

In Luke 22, we see the betrayal, denial, arrest and trial of Jesus, everyone played their part; Judas betrayed his master with a kiss, the disciples fled and Peter denied Jesus, the soldier, captain of the guards and elders all played their part.

As a young Christian, I was taught that there was a cost for following, there was a cost for claiming to be his disciples. What is the cost of following Jesus? What is the cost of being a Christian or a disciple Christ, I often wondered? Did it mean to be willing to die for Jesus or to lay down everything that was important to me? Jesus answered these questions in today's devotional. “If you want...

Today's devotional is a call to repentance and to choose Jesus today, tomorrow might be too late.

"“Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?...
