His own perfect peace assures us that he alone can give true peace. Jesus was always the master of the situation, and he enables us to take control of our lives as we surrender to him and receive his legacy of peace.

If our desire is to know and do the father’s will so that we might glorify his name, then we will experience the joy of following Christ example and serving others. We today, just like the disciples that night, desperately need this lesson on humility. The church is filled with a worldly spirit of competition and criticism as believers vie with one another to see who is the greatest

The emphasis was on face through John 12. But if the sinner will not trust the Savior, the Savior must become the judge. The sinner is actually passing judgment on himself, not on the Lord!

Hope for those who are discouraged. Encouragement for difficult days. All people under hardship and distress at some point during their lives. Men receive hardship as a cause for failure or self-pity. For Christians hardships in life should be a time of faith building as we receive the outpouring of God’s magnificent grace. First Peter 5:6 – 11

There is great need for encouragement in our lives we live in times where there is just so much negative being forced into our thoughts every day. It can cause us to question ourselves, question or self-worth, search for meaning and purpose, compare ourselves to others. Why is it that we can have 100 people complement us, but then one word of criticism and that’s what we do Alon? It can create discouragement and apathy in us

The truth that cluster around the image of the shepherd and the sheep are found throughout the Bible, and they are important to us today. The symbols that Jesus used to help us understand who he is and what he wants to do for us.

Spiritually his heart and eyes were opened. Because he listened to the word, believed it, obey that, and experienced the grace of God. The Pharisees had good physical vision but they were blind spiritually had they listen to the word and sincerely consider the evidence, they two would’ve believed on Jesus Christ and been born again.

We cannot help but admire his courage as he presented the truth and invited blind religious men to trust him and be set free. The most difficult people to win to the Savior are those who do not realize that they have a need. They are under the condemnation of God, yet they trust their religion to save them.

There is a bride in this generation who will come up out of the wilderness leaning upon her beloved. Hallelujah
