Known Before We Knew Him
John 1:45–47 (BSB) tells us,“Philip found Nathanael and told him, ‘We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.’ ‘Can anything good come from Nazareth?’ Nathanael asked. ‘Come and see,’ said Philip. When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching,…

In the Night, He Prayed
Luke 6:12 is a quiet verse, but not an empty one. It is filled with the soundless weight of devotion—the kind that stretches through the night when others are sleeping. In the days of growing crowds and rising opposition, Jesus retreats—not to rest, but to watch. Not to escape, but…

Faith That Sees Through the Storm
The following verse doesn’t just speak about creation. It speaks to every valley we walk through, every moment when affliction clouds our vision and we’re tempted to measure reality by what we see rather than what God has said. Hebrews 11:3 (BSB) declares, “By faith we understand that the universe…

Divided Over the Shepherd’s Voice
Here we see it again—the unavoidable reaction to truth: division. Jesus had just spoken words that no ordinary man could say. He declared Himself the Good Shepherd, the One who lays down His life for the sheep. He spoke of knowing His own and being known. He spoke of power…

Clothed for the Battle That Belongs to the Lord
Isaiah 54:17 (BSB) declares,“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD. Here is a promise not forged in ease, but in the context…

Every blow He bore, every stripe He endured, every crushing weight that fell upon Him—was ours. Here is the Suffering Servant, chastened, and not killed—not in the ultimate sense—for through His wounding came…

Knowing God Through Jesus
There is a world of difference between knowing about someone and truly knowing them. A man might study every fact about a mountain—its height, its weight, its ecosystem—yet never feel the crunch of gravel beneath his boots or the cool wind on its slopes. So too, many have heard of…

By His Stripes
There’s a quiet horror in our selected passage. It moves swiftly—almost too swiftly—from injustice to violence to death. Yet within those few words lies the weight of our redemption. Pilate, knowing full well that Jesus was innocent, chose public approval over truth. And so the sinless Son of God was…

As Having Nothing—Yet Possessing All
Here is the mystery of godliness wrapped in humility. The eternal Son, equal with the Father in glory, did not cling to His divine rights. He emptied Himself. Not by subtraction of His deity, but by the addition of humanity. He who spoke worlds into being took on a body…
