“I tell you the truth,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am'” (John 8:58)

May 16, 2011

Jesus claimed pre-existence to Abraham and more. By using the phrase “I am,” he claimed to be God. This is the Name that God gave Moses at the burning bush. Not “I was.” Nor “I will be,” But “I am.” Self-existent. Eternally present. God.

“My Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:40)

What is God’s will for you? Here it is from the lips of Jesus. What does your future hold? Resurrection. So, look to Christ and believe.

“I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest” (John 4:35)

May 5, 2011

Spiritual receptivity is seasonal. It follows the movement of God. We must work while the Spirit moves because Winter will come again when work is not effective. During harvest season work as long as it is day and pray for the Lord to send more workers. I believe we are in such a season now.

“No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again” (John 3:3)

May 3, 2011

The kingdom of God is only perceived with spiritual eyes. Those who haven’t been born again are blind to spiritual things. Only Christ can give us eyes to see and ears to hear. Born again people have been made alive spiritually.

“’Come and see,’ said Philip” (John 1:46)

May 1, 2011

How Philip invited Nathaniel to follow Christ is still one important strategy for ministry. The other is “Go and tell.” Healthy churches do both. Today is the first Sunday in WCC’s new home. Go and tell someone to come and see.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1)

April 30, 2011

Jesus is the Logos, the Word of God incarnate. Is the Word alive in your life? Or are you just mouthing the words? Be careful. The Word became flesh but some theologians try to reduce Him to words again.
