John 17: Jesus Desires Unity

Last updated on: April 29, 2011 at 11:35 am By Dillon Burroughs

There is much talk of unity in our world today. Yet the concept is not new. Jesus spoke of unity long ago, defining it clearly for those who follow him even now. In John 17, he taught: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also... Read more

John 16: Jesus Communicates Clearly

Last updated on: April 28, 2011 at 12:21 pm By Dillon Burroughs

Some have suggested Jesus spoke in some secret codes or attempted to communicate hidden messages through his words. Even those listening when Jesus walked the earth sometimes wondered what was being communicated. On the last night Jesus spent with his disciples, however, he spoke directly. The result? His disciples responded: “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. 30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask... Read more

John 15: I Am the Vine

Last updated on: April 27, 2011 at 6:19 am By Dillon Burroughs

In John 15, Jesus calls himself the vine. Why? Because we are the branches; apart from him we can do nothing. In his words, from verse five: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” This interconnectedness is often overlooked in our self-dependent way of living. We frequently seek to live in our own strength, only calling out to... Read more

John 14: The Way, the Truth, and the Life

Last updated on: April 26, 2011 at 12:49 pm By Dillon Burroughs

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” This one verse shatters the postmodern notion of relativism. There is truth, absolute truth, and it is found in Jesus Christ. Those who come to the Father do so through Jesus. He is clear on this issue. This does leave difficult questions regarding young children who die, those who cannot choose due to mental incapability, or the plight of... Read more

John 13: Love Serves

Last updated on: April 25, 2011 at 6:03 am By Dillon Burroughs

Love is not about "what I want" but doing what God wants. Washing feet was a physical and practical example of service Jesus left for his first followers and to us. The closer we walk with God, the deeper our level of service to others should be. Read more

John 12: We Would Like to See Jesus

Last updated on: April 22, 2011 at 6:46 am By Dillon Burroughs

For Good Friday, I wanted to share an excerpt from my upcoming devotional work Thirst No More on John 12:21, the chapter I have handwritten today. The religious leaders sought to kill Jesus; seekers sought to see Jesus. Some of the Greeks who had traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover desired to meet with the One many were calling the Messiah. But how would they find Him? These men found Jesus through His followers. Philip and Andrew were the men... Read more

John 11: The Resurrection and the Life

Last updated on: April 21, 2011 at 6:33 am By Dillon Burroughs

When Jesus arrived at the home of Lazarus, he made a bold claim, stating, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.” Jesus claimed to be the resurrection and the life and to offer eternal life. The only one who could do this was the Messiah. Many had claimed to be Messiah in the past. The difference was that... Read more

John 10: Life to the Fullest

Last updated on: April 20, 2011 at 7:23 am By Dillon Burroughs

John 10 is packed with great quotes from the teachings of Jesus. Verse 10 includes one of my favorites: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” In contrast with the “thief,” a reference to Satan who steals life, Jesus Christ came to offer life. To highlight this contrast, Jesus stated those who follow him will have life “to the full.” Other translations use “abundant life,” but idea is that Jesus offers the best... Read more

John 8: Jesus the “I AM”

Last updated on: April 18, 2011 at 6:42 am By Dillon Burroughs

Some scholars suggest Jesus never claimed to be God in the Gospels. Nothing could be further from the truth. John 8 provides one of many times Jesus equated himself with Yahweh, the Lord Almighty of Israel. There we read: 54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. 55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not,... Read more
