    "Nothing impure will ever enter, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life" (Revelation 21:27).

    Try and imagine it; nothing we experience in this world is like it. Instead we find ourselves in the thick of a contest between good and evil. Deceit and shame dogs our every step, bit not just from without. We are often the enemy of our best selves. What a place this...

    The Jews were amazed and asked, 'How did this man get such learning having never studied?'"(John 7:15).

    Ron Allen

    Those who pondered this question were Israel's recognized intellectuals. Jesus had not be their pupil, and that is why they supposed he had 'never studied.'  Established knowledge centers have much to teach, but there is a higher wisdom than they can impart. To learn t...

    "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life" (Revelation 21:6).

    If it were my neighbor, a judge, a politician or even my Pastor who spoke so, he would not be taken seriously.  While I respect all of them, not one among them has the magisterial and weighty persona invest such an announcement with any purchase.   The voice that speak...

    "But no one would say anything publically about him for fear of the Jews" (John 7:13).

    It takes courage to believe in Jesus. 'Jews' in John's Gospel, are not Jews racially, but the Temple authorities as well as many Pharisees and Sadducees. To hold an opinion about Jesus that differed from that of the religious experts was hard for ordinary folk. They we...

    "He will wipe every tear from their eyes" (Revelation 21:4).

    Who can fail to be attracted by such words? Pain, trauma and grief punctuate our lives from beginning to end. When tears wet our faces we long consolation that is absolute; permanent. Pleasure, joy and delight are also known to us, and these whet our appetite for a bet...

    "Therefore Jesus told them, 'The time for me has not yet come. For you any time is right" (John 7:6).

    Jesus is unmistakably human, in John's gospel. Here he is involved in a verbal exchange with his brothers which is remarkable for its ordinariness. It might occur among siblings in any family. Jesus is thoroughly human, but uniquely human. He is one with mankind--excep...

    "And I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband" (Revelation 20:2).

    Ron Allen

    God alone is holy, and his dwelling place therefore is the Holy City. The Bible is consistent in portraying a God who does not sit on high waiting for humans to make the their way up to him; he comes to them. The world is the object of God's intense interest and purpos...

    "Jesus' brothers said to him, 'You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see all the miracles you do' . . . . For even his own brothers did not believe in him" (John 7:3-5).

    What difference is it if amazing things happen in Judea rather than Galilee? Most of Jesus' ministry took place in Galilee, even though Judea and Jerusalem was the political and religious center of the nation. Unbelief always waits to see which way the world's ruler's...

    "If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will go in and eat with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20).

    Friendship, good will, and fellow-feeling are never so much enjoyed as when persons sit down and share a meal together.  Here depicted is a God who desires to be with us; who anticipates the good times that go with interpersonal relations. The language of this verse is...

    "Just as the living father sent me and I live because of the father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me" (John 6:57).

    Ron Allen

    God in the living God because life in him is un-obtained, un-received, un-derived. Life is not inherent in nature; it is borrowed from the self-existing originator. Humans are unique in creation because they alone can choose to know and love the life-giver. This privil...
