Knowing God In The Word

"Jesus Wept." The shortest verse in the Bible. This acts showed His humanity and caring, but much more.

His Own resurrection aside, the raising of Lazarus from the dead was one of the most amazing signs Jesus did in the book of John.

Who deserves our devotion and attention? While His disciples had Jesus among them on earth, Mary chose correctly in her devotion to Him. 

Men often ask if a man can be God, but a better question might be: "Can God become a man?"

Did Jesus deliberately delay coming to Lazarus? Did allowing him to die open the way for Jesus to more fully glorify God?

The resurrection is not only an event, but a person. Jesus reveals Himself to be that very One.

Who are the sheep? Who is the Shepherd? Who is the Door? How do the sheep enter in and find safety?

Who is it that the Shepherd lays down His life? Who are not of "this fold" of which Jesus spoke?

Jesus claims to be one with the Father. Why did the Pharisees want to stone Jesus after claiming this about Himself?

The kingdom of God being proclaimed as "at hand" meant they could expect to see miracles such as a blind man receiving sight.

Jesus confounds the Pharisees that are within earshot of Him talking to whom He had restored sight with the words: "those who do not see may see; those who see may be made blind."

The religious leaders of Jesus' day thought highly of the Patriarch Abraham. What they failed to understand is that the One standing before them was One greater than Abraham.

Jesus does't condemn the woman caught in adultery and corrects the attitude of the self-righteous ones who wanted to.

Jesus is the metaphoric Light of the World.

Jesus tells his disbelieving brothers to go to the Feast of Tabernacles (Booths). It is not yet time for Jesus to reveal Himself in Jerusalem.

Many murmured as to whether Jesus was good or not. He began to teach in the Temple and justified Himself to the Jewish leadership. He asks the people why the leaders want to kill Him, they claim he has a demon.

The murmurings continue among the people. The Jewish leadership orders the arrest of Jesus. He defends His healing a man on the Sabbath. They are unable to arrest Him.

The Lord teaches his followers that He Himself is the Bread from heaven.

Even some of the Lord's disciples didn't actually believe Him and in Him. Eonian life is the promised life that flows from God.

Jesus explains what kind of food His followers should strive to procure. He is the True Bread from Heaven and is far more lasting than any other food.

This episode explores the Biblical concept, dating back to the Old Testament, that it takes more than one witness to determine the truth of a matter.

This episode explores the Lord feeding the five thousand with a boy's lunch. Then, the Lord walks on water.

Faith is shown by a nobleman for the healing of his son. The Lord spoke the word and his son was healed from a distance at that very same moment.
