Jesus challenged the people and they responded with hostility. How we respond to Jesus' word reveals our hearts. May he be at the centre of church life in a way that honours God and is real and relevant.

What a big thing it was for Jesus to go to that festival. How it would have brought home to him the hugeness of what he was going to do!

Where else can we go Lord? You have the words of eternal life. O may we believe and tell others!

Jesus is going to raise his people up at the last day, when he returns. We must depend upon him for everything. There is no life without believing in Jesus. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.

Jesus is the Bread of life. He is the Passover Lamb who was lifted up on the cross for us. He saves his people securely. May we ask our heavenly Father to give us this day our daily bread. He will!

Jesus walks on the water. It's another link to Moses. Jesus is the One who brought order in Genesis 1 through his Word. He has come to defeat Satan, destroy his works and bring about the great end that God had planned all along. A perfect creation with no chaos or darkness.

Jesus cares for the whole person. Our bodies matter. Jesus fulfils the Passover. Listen to him as the Prophet - the Living Word himself.

The religious leaders didn't recognise Jesus because they failed to see that Moses knew him and trusted him. They failed to see that Moses wrote about the Jesus he knew. If we fail to see Jesus, we can't possibly know God as our Father. This is so serious!

Jesus makes it clear that he is equal with the Father. Jesus shows us that our God is a loving union of three. The Father works through the Son by the Holy Spirit. This has  a lot to teach us about what it means to be made in the image of God. Let’s hear Jesus’ voicenow and live. Everyone will hear his voice when he returns and be raised,either to life or condemnation – it all depends what we do with his voice now!

Jesus doesn't need the pool to heal the man. He restores give life as the Living Word. He always equips us to do what he calls us to do. Like Jesus we shouldn't assume we know what help someone is looking for. Jesus shows the man an even deeper need - that of his sins being forgiven.
