After his first confrontation with the religious leaders one of the Pharisees comes to see Jesus at night (in secret) because he can see the truth of what Jesus is saying. This is the passage containing the best known verse in the Bible ... John 3:16 ... and another well known expression ... "Born Again".

John gives us 7 “Signs” in his Gospel … and water to wine at the wedding at Cana was the first … and the beginning of Jesus’s ministry. The religious leaders demand a sign from Jesus. He responds by saying “Knock the temple down and I will rebuild it in 3 days” (pointing to his death & Resurrection)

John the Baptist could probably be more accurately called John the Witness. His primary role was to witness to Jesus … to prepare the way for the Messiah to come. Those who realise who Jesus is always want to tell others.

John opens his Gospel in a very different way to Matthew, Mark & Luke. He introduces "the Word" ... shows us who the Word is ... and how we should respond to him.

Psalm 1 gives us comparison between 2 people: The “blessed” person and the “wicked” or “ungodly” person.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners ... (1 Timothy 1:15)

Music & Christmas seem to go hand-in-hand ... and its been that way since the very beginning. The Shepherds heard the first Christmas son ... a song that sums up what Christmas is about.

Paul says those who come to trust in Jesus are a “new creation” … that we are to live changed transformed lives as we seek to follow Jesus and serve others.
