John 11:25 “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?'” Jesus was talking with a dear friend, Martha. He could have been talking to you. As a matter of fact, He was talking to you. He asks you and me the same question. Martha’s answer was —YES. That is the same answer you and I would give our Savior! Reread the verse—it is ultra-important to life and eternal life!

John 11:10 “It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.” Darkness and lacking truth are identical. When Jesus said these words, He was referring to the sad truth that even though truth is available to all, many choose to ignore that truth or light and force themselves to stumble and ignore the absolute truth of His Word. All you and I have to do is pick up the Bible, read it, study it and believe its truths and we naturally see. Why walk in darkness when light is so easily available? Have a great weekend—Merry Christmas-Our Savior has kept His promise!

John 11:4 “When he heard this, Jesus said, ‘This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.'” We have all asked ourselves–Why, Why would God allow that to happen in my life? I prayed–and I prayed hard and often and still God did not answer my prayer the way I asked. Doesn’t God love me? What doesn’t God understand? What don’t I understand? Have you ever tried to comfort someone who is suffering? Have you ever had to say to yourself or have had to say to others—I don’t know what God’s purpose is; all I do know is– God is in control and His will be done. In faith we accept whatever God’s will is–always, faith in our Savior’s love.

John 9:14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.” Without a shepherd the sheep are in desperate danger—-they would live in chaos and would be devoured by wild animals. With a shepherd they are calm, controlled, safe and never live in fear of whatever animals could do to destroy them. You and I are the sheep—Jesus is our Shepherd. We love having our Savior as our Shepherd while even before we knew Him, He loved us and wants us to live with Himself eternally. That is the marvelous love of our Wonderful Shepherd.
