Lazarus had died, and Mary and Martha informed Jesus about his death. Instead of tending to him right away, Jesus waited. He waited not because He didn't care, but because He chose to use the situation for the glory of God. Martha asks why He wasn't there in the first place to save His friend since she knew He had healed the sick before. Jesus informs her that “He is the resurrection and the life” and asks if she believes this. Jesus then proceeds to raise Lazarus from the dead, giving him what ...

Do you hear the voices in our world calling for your attention? The phone is constantly ringing, emails continue to arrive, meetings come and go, days turn into weeks, then months, and we have lost our ability to hear the voice of our Shepherd. He is our caretaker, provider, sustainer, defender, protector and friend. He calls us by name, leads us to still waters and restores our souls. This week’s “I AM” statement, “I am the Good Shepherd,” begs the question “Do you hear Him?” Or have the sounds...

This week’s “I AM” statement reminds us that Jesus is the light, and the light reveals not only where we are but directs us where we need to be. Jesus promises that those who have His light will never walk in darkness but always have the light of life. Sin and satan want to keep our minds, hearts, and actions in the dark, but the grace, love and mercy of Jesus fill our minds, hearts, and lives with His glorious light and guide us in this world and into the next, because He is our Light every day...

Throughout the book of John, Jesus compares something physical to something spiritual by saying “I AM the bread of life” in John 6. Jesus lets the crowd know He can provide so much more than the thing they crave and seek after, namely, physical things, physical bread. Jesus wanted them to know that He is the satisfier and sustainer of life, and that they must turn toward Him for everything and in every situation. Unfortunately, we aren’t too different than these crowds...? We regularly turn towa...

Christ was raised so we were raised and we were raised to live a new life in Him and through His resurrection...therefore we are different because of His/our resurrection. In fact, the Matthew reading reads “then go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen...” again, suggesting that the resurrection moves us to action.

When it comes to the subject of pride, people are all over the map. What that means is that some people are boldly prideful while others are less bold about their pride. You see, there is no person on the planet that doesn’t struggle with pride. Pride is at the heart of original sin. Pride is in fact the cause of original sin and is therefore in the heart of every human being. And so regardless of where you think you are on this issue today, we’re reminded that the Lord calls us to avoid pride a...

Paul writes in Romans 12:15 “rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep”, and of course, all of us would wholeheartedly agree! When someone is celebrating, we celebrate alongside them. When someone is sad and overwhelmed, our hearts go out to them. But while we believe we should, it’s not always easy to do so. We are busy people and so to take time out for someone else can be hard. We have our own issues to consider and so it’s difficult to truly focus on and genuinely care abou...
