Peter denied Jesus three times while standing near a charcoal fire. Jesus was there by a charcoal fire when he asked Peter three times, "Do you love me?" Does Jesus know experientially (ginosko) that you love him as well as intellectually/informationally (oidas)?

Can you imagine imagine what Mary of Magdala went through? In just a few days, she experienced such a broad range of emotions, having seen the crucifixion, the burial, the empty tomb, and now the risen Lord?

Jesus knew what was before him! That is why he chose the time (Passover), the place (entering Jerusalem), and the mode of transportation ("Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it") so the people could celebrate his glorification to take place on the cross.

What is the reality that Jesus was pointing to when he said, "...for this person I have come into the world--to bear witness to the truth." Pilate even asked, "What is truth?"

Did you know that Jesus prayed and still prays for you? Think about that for a second… Robert Murray M’Cheyne, a 19th-century Scottish minister, said, “If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet the distance makes no difference; he is praying for me!”

We will face trials and temptations in this world, so how can we be overcomers? Jesus says we can share in his victory.

What is it that you believe about the Holy Spirit? Jesus promised that He (the Helper) would be sent to convict, to guide, and to glorify.

Are you being persecuted? Do you feel at times as if the world hates you? Jesus said it would happen if you are a true disciple.

Does it bring you any comfort to know that God is for you, with you, and "in' you? Jesus promised another helper of the same kind to come and dwell with us and in us!

Do you have a servant's heart? Do you love according to Jesus' directive - 'as I have loved you'?
