Connection changes everything !
In John 17:1–11 we overhear Jesus praying. Not preaching. Not teaching the crowds. Not debating opponents … He prays.What makes this prayer remarkable is that it comes just before His arrest, suffering, and crucifixion.
Not Alone !

When darkness seems to win!
Jesus knew who He was.That’s why betrayal didn’t break Him.That’s why accusations didn’t shake Him.That’s why the cross didn’t defeat Him.
A King comes gently!
Matthew tells us that Jesus sends two disciples ahead to find a donkey and a colt. This is no accident, no improvisation. Jesus is intentionally fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah:“See, your king comes to you, gentle and ridi...
When Jesus is late!
Lazarus is dead !Divine love is not always hurried love !Sometimes Jesus delays not because He does not care — but because He intends something far greater.
Who's Blind Now ?

Why baptise Jesus ?
That word, “righteousness,” is absolutely full of meaning. Matthew uses it seven times in his Gospel, and each use signals a slightly different understanding of the word.On this occasion, Matthew 3:13-17, perhaps it is Jesus' way of ...
