Conviction of Sin, Righteousness, and Judgment
I am reading now in John, chapter 16. Jesus was speaking to his disciples, preparing their hearts for the time when Jesus would leave them via his death and resurrection and ascension back to heaven.

Walk While You Have the Light
“So Jesus said to them, ‘The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you.

Christ’s Dismissal
[This was originally written and posted online Thursday, December 6, 2018, five years ago. It bears repeating yearly.] So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I … Continue reading Christ’s Dismissal
