We have a tangible sign of our faith and eternal life: love! Christ demonstrated this love to us and now we can share it with one another. If there is love in the body, we can know there is eternal life in the body

There was a spectacle in Jerusalem when Jesus rode in on a donkey. They welcomed Him as a king. Yet, a few days later, the same people that cheered for Him chanted for His execution. This event reveals something deep about Jesus as well as the people's hearts towards Him

Those born of God do not sin and practise lawlessness. What does John mean by this? It means that believers do not rebel against God! So, do you reflect Christ's faithfulness in your life, or do you reflect that initial rebellion demonstrated by Satan? Let's not get caught up in being rebellious against God!

Obviously, Jesus's actions caught the attention of the Jews who wanted to know what sign He could show them as the authority He had. He literally just cleansed the Temple! But, He does give us a sign: Himself! Let us not get caught out with a superficial faith, always chasing miracles, when we have the ultimate sign in Jesus Himself

May this statement of David be true of us: "I will walk with integrity". Let us have nothing to do with evil in our lives. Let us sing of His steadfast love and justice always!

At the start of Jesus's public ministry, He cleanses the Temple from all those selling sacrificial animals and the money changers. Why was He the only devout Jew in Jerusalem during Passover who took offense at this corruption of worship? He was a stranger to His own people

Even as believers, do we have a lifestyle of repentance? In the words of the great hymn: "O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood; to every believer the promise of God; the vilest offender who truly believes; that moment from Jesus a pardon receives". Let's make repentance a regular in our lives!

Too often we quickly group these events into cutesy Bible stories about Jesus's power by turning water into wine. To Jesus, however, there is something bigger than the miracle. What does the miracle point to? This was sign of the coming messianic feast and the superiority of Christ over this world

If we have a look at baptism in the Bible, we see that there are seven specific categories in which it is done or used. Let's have a brief discussion on each of them!

He loves us with an unusual kind of love. That is what makes us His children. Let's aim to be pure in all things for He is pure!
