The Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:1-7) – March 26: When the disciples were confused and concerned about how they could attain “eternal life,” they asked Jesus to give them some direction.

(John 15:1-11) – April 2: Many of us have tried to find life in various careers, other people, and personal pleasures. None of these ever suffice. In revealing himself as “The True Vine,” Jesus is telling us that the only guarantee for lasting joy and peace is rooting our lives in him alone.

(John 11:1-27) – March 19: What happens after we die? This is one of humanity’s common questions. In the story of Lazarus, we find a dead, stinky, decaying body.

(John 10:11-18) – March 12: True love is most often measured by someone’s knowledge, care, and protection for the other. Embodying all of these qualities, Jesus compares his love to that which a shepherd has for the sheep. Good shepherds look out for the sheep. Jesus looks out for his people.

(John 10:7-10) – March 5: How do we find peace and rest in a world plagued by anxiety and fear? Jesus says there are green pastures for us to discover, but there’s only one access point that you can enter through. This is the good news of inclusive exclusivity.

(John 8:12-14) – February 26: The night sky was lit up all week as the Jewish people were observing the Feast of the Tabernacles. It was quite the celebratory event... until the lights went out. With the memory of the festival still fresh in their mind, Jesus takes advantage of the moment by making a statement which changes everything: I am the Light of the World.

(John 6:22-59) – February 19: In a consumeristic culture, we can be tempted to look to faith only for what we can get out of it. Although, Jesus made it clear that the greatest reward of faith is not his gifts, but the giver himself. Jesus is the sustenance we need for experiencing the fullness of life.
