Dear Saints: In the midst of expressing His ocean of love, the Son of man is betrayed on exiting this world. Jesus doesn't get any respect on entry and on exit. When He was born, there was no room in the inn (Luke 2:7) for Him. What a welcome we gave the God who made all things. Further, king Herod does his best to kill the baby Jesus. What a demonic hatred! (Matthew 2:16-18). Now in our study of John 13 (please read the entire chapter), we see the worst betrayal. Hear apostle John's recording: “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. 2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, 4 rose from supper and laid aside His ga...

Dear Saints: This Christmas, we celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus. What a wonderful time it is. Today, we meet the grown up Jesus in our study of John 12 (please read the entire chapter). He's coming into Jerusalem and riding on a donkey. It's quite a different picture when you merge the two together and the questions that arise. We love and adore babies because they are harmless, tender and need our help. We approach adults differently. We are questioning adults and suspicious of them and asking who are you. Are you as generous to baby Jesus as you are to the adult Jesus? Unfortunately in our world today many would celebrate Christmas, the baby Jesus but can't tolerate the grown Jesus. Why? The King, the grown up Jesus makes demand of us. He speaks for himself and tells us who he is. He is making very clear His purpose and declaring that He is God. People then and now do not want to hear the grown up Jesus. Listen to Jesus’ exchange with the crowd that a minu...

Dear Saints: Everyone has a religion. It may not be organized religion. Your religion could be self-religion – a belief in self and what you can do without God. All religious people must come to faith, believe and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior; otherwise, their religion is worthless. The devil loves religious people so if you help turn religious people to believe in Jesus, Satan will plot against you. Do you have a testimony of God’s working in you and through you that the enemy is plotting to kill you? Well, come and meet brother Lazarus. Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead after he had been stinking in the grave for four days. Let’s read (John 12) and see what happened next at a party for Jesus: “9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He [Jesus] was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11 because on account of him many of the...
