“So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. Martha said to Jesus, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you’” (John 11:20-22 English Standard Version). This is […]

“‘And for your sake I am glad that I [Jesus] was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.’ So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, ‘Let us also go, that we may die with him’” (John 11:15, 16 English Standard Version).  We understand, Father, that Jesus was preparing […]

“The disciples said to him, ‘Lord, if he [Lazarus] has fallen asleep, he will recover.’ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. Then Jesus told them plainly, ‘Lazarus has died’” (John 11:12-14 English Standard Version).  Lord, You are so Perfect, Good, and Holy, that we can barely take it in. […]

“Jesus answered, ‘are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.’ After saying these things, he said to them [disciples], ‘Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, […]

“But when Jesus heard it he said, ‘This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.’ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus” (John 11:4, 5 English Standard Version). Jesus loves us, also. Thank You, holy Lord, for giving Jesus […]

“Again they sought to arrest him [Jesus], but he escaped from their hands. He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained” (John 10:39, 40 English Standard Version). Did Jesus ever become tired, Lord? Did He know his time was near for His crucifixion? We […]

“‘If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father’” (John 10:37, 38 English Standard Version). Yes, Father, help us […]

“Jesus answered them, ‘I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?’ The Jews answered him, ‘It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God’” (John 10:32, 33 English Standard Version). […]

“‘My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.’ The Jews picked up stones again to stone him” (John 10:29-31 English Standard Version). Your words are plain and clear to us, Lord God! No one can […]
