Jesus Is the Healer of Broken People – John 21:15

Broken people abound in the world, myself included. But I am so thankful that Jesus loves people who have failed, bring healing to us.

What better profession of faith in the resurrected Jesus can a person make than the one Thomas did; “my Lord and my God.”

Jesus was the light of God, shining out in the spiritual darkness of our world. But, for a time, when Judas betrayed Jesus, it was night.

Jesus tells us to lose, or hate, our life in order to experience eternal life. Let go of this life and instead follow Jesus wherever he leads.

Jesus invites us to take from him living water that will spring up in us to eternal life. It will satisfy, unlike the water of this world.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Jesus tells us that we are to be known by our love. Not by how good we are, or any other human measure. But by our love for each other.

He must increase while I must decrease. That should be my goal in serving Christ. To deflect attention away from myself and toward him.

As one who has experienced God’s grace, I should extend grace and mercy to others rather than hold them to a legalistic standard of law.

It is only natural to want to compare ourselves with others asking ‘what about him’. But Jesus calls us to follow the plan he has for us.
