John 20 - The tomb where they put Jesus is empty…while sins pain was endured and Jesus gave up His life, after three days He was alive again.
He is alive today…He will be alive tomorrow! Have you put your trust in Him?
John 21 – I am sure that after denying Jesus Peter was feeling really bad. I am sure he was very disappointed and confused. However, when Jesus talks with him in chapter 21 He asks Peter to take care of Jesus’ followers.
What an amazing responsibility for someone who had just denied even knowing Jesus…how about you? Have you allowed past failures to stop you from becoming or accomplishing the great things that God has in store for you?

John 19 - To Be Continued...
It’s Good Friday, and we are reading the chapter in John that tells the story…Good Friday at first glance doesn’t seem like it should be called good at all!
We see someone who taught us to love our enemies and do good to those that harm us…who said love everyone…who never wrong anyone…who always was God honoring, brutally beaten and killed…
However, instead of thinking about the horrific scene remember it is the greatest act of love the world has ever known!
They saw a man beaten and ridiculed...we know the rest of the story today, and can boldly proclaim that this story is not over...no, it is merely TO BE CONTINUED!
