Jesus said, “I am the Good Shepherd.” If you’re like me, that’s the beloved image that often pops into your head. But Jesus didn’t simply slip on a pair of overalls for a nice picture. He came to do the 'hands on' work of a shepherd.

Nothing in all of creation brings refreshment and restorative peace like this. It's something you can have today and it's something which will certainly make you look forward to the weekend. Can you guess what it is?

John reminds us that as God's children we look forward to the day of the resurrection when when we too shall rise, as our risen and living Savior has, and see His face.  And by His Holy Spirit, we rejoice even now to reflect His saving love to those in our midst.

As the ongoing celebration of Easter continues, Peter calls us to crave God's Word the way a newborn baby craves milk. That makes sense as you and I consider how God has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Today, there’s a push back to all of the "photo editing and filters" so that folks can see themselves just as they are. They say it’s healthier. When it comes to our spiritual life, John tells us that it's more than simply a good idea.
