Thought for the day:
“Peter turned and saw the other disciple …” How often do you look back at others instead of looking forward where Jesus is leading you? How can you keep your eyes on Jesus today?
Feed my lambs. Tend my sheep. Feed my sheep. Jesus speaks these words to Peter who denied him three times. Since God is willing to use Peter who denies Jesus, how might God’s work be carried out using your hands?
Jesus appears to the disciples after they return to fishing. Where does Jesus show up in your day to day living?
Jesus appears and Thomas is not present. What would be the difference between doubt and not believing?
Jesus is Risen. I have seen the Lord. Imagine you encountered the risen Jesus, who is the first person you would run and tell?
Jesus’ body is taken and prepared for burial. Both Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus were important Jewish leaders. Why do you think they took it upon themselves to arrange for the burial of Jesus’ body?
It is finished. What had Jesus finished and how does that affect you today?
Jesus is handed over to be crucified. Isiah 53:5 says “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” How has the suffering of Jesus brought peace and healing to you?
What is truth? Who is Jesus?
