Daily Reading: John 15:1-17 Jesus’ metaphor of the Vine and its branches makes it wonderfully clear that any disciple who remains deeply connected to Him in relational fellowship will be highly fruitful. As we focus our attention and energy on strengthening our relationship with Jesus, His life will flow through us and will produce good

Daily Reading: John 21:15-25 In this lovely, poignant passage, the risen Jesus spends one-on-one time with Peter. Walking along the lakeside which was filled with so many of their shared personal memories, Jesus draws Peter back to the heart of the matter: “Do you love Me?” Peter had denied thrice that he even knew Jesus,

Daily Reading: John 21:1-14 Peter had denied publicly that he knew Jesus or was ever his disciple – thrice! Afraid and ashamed, Peter would quite probably no longer have put himself into the category of ‘disciple’, feeling that he had disqualified himself, and that Jesus, having seen and overheard his denials in the high priest’s

Daily Reading: John 20:24-31 Jesus’ resurrection body enables Him to come to the disciples despite locked doors. His resurrected body is visible, His voice is audible, He can be touched and related to just as He could before His death. Mysteriously, He is also able to come and go at will, and is not subject

Daily Reading: John 20:19-23 When Jesus appeared among the disciples in that locked room, they really needed to know that Jesus came to them with love and peace, not with an angry desire to avenge the betrayals, denials and abandonment they had dished out to Him in His hour of need.

Daily Reading: John 13:1-17, 34-45 “It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.” (v.1) This is the moment everything shifts in John’s Gospel.

Daily Reading: John 12:1-11 If yesterday we looked into the mirror of the religious authorities to examine our own hearts and lives, today we will have to look into the mirror of Judas and his behaviour in this passage. I find myself reflecting on the reason he picked on Mary for her beautiful offering, when

Daily Reading: Matthew 26:1-5 What strikes me as I read this morning’s passage is the contrast between how settled and resolved Jesus is to willingly and lovingly lay down His life for the sake of the world, and how settled and resolved the religious leaders are to selfishly and wilfully sacrifice Jesus (innocent as he

As Holy Week begins, we watch in deep sadness as one of the Twelve Apostles, Judas, betrays the Lord Jesus Christ and agrees terms to hand Him over to the religious rulers for 30 silver coins. Daily Reading: Luke 22:1-6 The Passover Week has begun. Jerusalem is jam-packed with pilgrims. The streets are abuzz with
