God spoke to me about I have read this portion so many times and thought about the puzzles such as what was Jesus and Peter on about when Jesus queries him about his love for him and then Jesus’ command to feed His lamb/sheep.  But the thing God spoke to me about this round is

God spoke to me about We are nearing the end of our John journey.  I am really amazed at the number of times I told myslf, “I never really put that together”.  I came on another one in chapter 20 today.  Thomas has quite the encounter with the resurrected Christ.  However the other disciples were

God spoke to me about Though it is all thoughout the gospels, God seemed to bring out to me how that the very ones who SHOULD have embraced the Messiah (Pharisees) show themselves to be the enemies.  Jesus’ “natural” enemy (the one who would be threatened as a King appearing), however, seems to be the

God spoke to me about Jesus is coming close to the point for which He came.  The crucifixion is just round the corner.  In the confrontation with the guards who came to arrest him, Peter (being Peter) draws a sword and cut off the guard’s ear (I never stopped to think … “Why did Peter

God spoke to me about Last night was the break-in at Holmescarr.  Just ridiculous.  Two things God spoke to me about this morning in John 17.  First relates to Jesus’ statement of what eternal life is all about … “that they may know you (the Father), the true God, and Jesus Christ”.  How simple yet

God spoke to me about Verse 17, in a chapter that speaks of the Holy Spirit, says the world cannot accept Him as it neither sees or knows Him (HS).  However, just from yesterday’s chapter (13), Jesus is speaking and refers to us and how the world will KNOW that we are disciples, if we

God spoke to me about Though I had something different in mind, when I started to re-read this section … v. 7 blasted out to me.  When Peter queries Jesus about him washing his feet, Jesus replied, “You do not realise now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”  For all the times

God spoke to me about Over the last year I have battled with anger more than in a long time.  That might be clouding my take on what I see during our John Challenge.  The awfulness of sin just seems to shout.  More children hurt by the very people who should love and protect them
