Resurrection is the ultimate miraculous sign which deals with our ultimate enemy, death.  Jesus resurrects Lazarus and will be resurrected himself.  See Jesus work out his plan for Lazarus life as he says, “This illness does not lead to death.”  See the heart ache and the glory as we come to know Jesus who is the resurrection and the life.

Why do some people get Jesus and others are blind to him? This week we see from John 9 how the good news of Jesus gives sight to those who are blind and blinds those who think they can see. So, are you willing to admit you are blind and come to Jesus for sight, or will you stay blind to Jesus?

Jesus is the light of the world, but not everyone is happy about it. This week we see from John 8:12-59 how when the religious leaders attack Jesus, like a judo master Jesus turns the table on his accusers by exposing their shocking identity, revealing his true identity and authority and calling us to hear, believe and continue in his word.

Sceptical about Resurrection Sunday? You’re not the first. This Easter Sunday we see from John 20:24-31 how Jesus meets Thomas, and us, in our scepticism as we see that He truly rose from the dead and offers eternal life to all those who believe in him.

Do you long for integrity rather than hypocrisy? This Good Friday we see from John 18:28-19:30 how Jesus, the only one with true integrity, goes to the cross for a world overrun with hypocrisy.

Are you thirsty? Thirsty for true life? For rich joy? For restored relationships? This week we see from John 7 how Jesus reveals his hour, his origin, his destination and his offer of true life to all those who come to him. Despite this, many are still left confused about him. Will you be confused? Or are you thirsty?

How can understanding analogies change your relationship with God? This week we see from John 6 how Jesus as the True Shepherd uses a hard analogy to sift those who really want to feed on him, from those who just want a feed.

“Do you want to be healed?” Jesus’ asks this question of an ambivalent invalid in John 5 and he asks you the same question now. This week we see from John 5:1-47 how when the Jews put the elusive Jesus on trial for his ability to give life, he gives them the slip so that they end up on trial for rejecting life and we end up confronted with Jesus’ offer of true life.

How could an outcast, ashamed and sinful woman become the most faithful and fruitful disciple in all of John’s Gospel? This week we see from John 4:4-54 how an awkward encounter between Jesus and an outcast Samaritan Woman reveals both Jesus and a stunning, surprising ideal disciple and calls us to find life in Jesus.

It’s hard to be a sidekick. You’re always in the shadow. Always waiting just off-stage. But what if that’s the way to true life and lasting joy? This week we see from John 3:22-4:3 how John the Baptist is always a sidekick, but rather than grow in jealousy he grows in joy as he joyfully spotlights the arrival of Jesus, the true bridegroom. “He must increase, I must decrease.”
