Today’s Walk in the Word

Simon son of John, do you love me?                      —John 21:17 Many a sermon has hammered Peter for his failures. He sank like a rock when fear trumped faith in his water-walking fiasco. He denied friendship with Jesus three times during the Caiaphas trial. Flip side. […]

You did not choose me, but I chose you.                           —John 15:16 31/100 is a notation indicating that the item belongs to a limited edition. Like this. A famous artist creates an original painting; 100 prints of that piece are produced under his […]

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.                      —John 15:13 Jesus loves me! This I know, / For the Bible tells me so. / Little ones to Him belong; / They are weak, but He is strong. […]

My peace I give you … Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.                        —John 14:27 The peace Jesus gives is not exemption from life’s storms, but serenity when navigating those storms—an inner peace that nothing the world throws at […]

You are in me, and I am in you.                   —John 14:20 Remember television before remote control? To turn it on or off, change channels, or adjust volume you got some exercise—took a walk to the set, punched buttons and turned knobs. Now you move only your […]

Because I live, you also will live.                   —John 14:19 Death is the great equalizer; it treats everyone the same: “… each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment” (Heb. 9:27 NLT). Die we must—but not alone, not in fear, and not forever. […]

By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.                          —John 13:35 David Doubilet is arguably the greatest underwater photographer in the world. His stunningly beautiful work appears in publications worldwide. Environmentalists castigate him for not publishing […]

I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.                —John 13:15 When Jesus shucked his robe, wrapped the servant towel around his waist, filled the basin, and began washing his disciples’ feet you could have heard a pin drop. Those disciples […]

Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?                   —John 11:40 Jesus delayed. Lazarus died. His sisters didn’t understand why Jesus hadn’t dropped everything and come running when he got their message that Lazarus was ill. “If you had […]

Though John never performed a miraculous sign, all that John said about this man was true.                                —John 10:41 John the Baptist had been dead for two years, but his influence was alive and well. His miracles weren’t remembered, for he […]
