I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message.
When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.
I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
For he is sent by God. He speaks God’s words, for God gives him the Spirit without limit.
So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.”
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
- Luke 2:6-7
We didn’t have room for you when you were born. We turned You away. Yet what do You do?
Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.
- John 14:1-3
You forgive us and prepare a place for us so we may be together anyway.
Your love is amazing.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.
For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me.
I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.
Jesus’ trial before Caiaphas ended in the early hours of the morning.
Then he was taken to the headquarters of the Roman governor. His accusers didn’t go inside because it would defile them, and they wouldn’t be allowed to celebrate the Passover. So Pilate, the governor, went out to them and asked, “What is your charge against this man?”
The next day there was a wedding celebration in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.”
“Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used for Jewish ceremonial washing. Each could hold twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled, he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.
When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over. “A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!”
This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life.
