The fifth and sixth seals of Revelation, on first glance, show us martyrdom and cosmic turmoil, the death of saints and stars falling out of the sky with men, women and children running to hide in caves. What do we make of all this? The question is, what do we see about Jesus in it? What...

“So Gentle,” John 16:12-15
As Jesus near the end of his time with the disciples, this passage that we’ve been studying for months now, John 13-18, it began with Jesus washing the apostles’ feet. It is his last night, the upper room discourse many would have called it. It is Jesus’ last hour with his apostles. And as we...

There is a word in John 16:7 that I have wrestled with for almost a month. Jesus said that he was going away, his death, resurrection and ascension into heaven was to our advantage.
