John 18 highlights the power and authority of Jesus, who offers himself for the cross.

Jesus is the Lamb of God and the Saviour of the world, but one of his titles is also the One who baptises in the Holy Spirit and fire. The Holy Spirit is given to us as our Helper!

Jesus gives us a new commandment: “Love one another as I have loved you”. The mark of Christians should be the love we express to one another.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” – Mark 12:30 Like the woman who poured expensive perfume over the feat of Jesus, we must learn to worship God; giving all of ourselves in love to Jesus.

As Jesus sets his face towards the cross, he challenges the Jewish leaders; that their God is the God of all nations, and His desire is to gather all nations as one.

The Goal of our salvation is to see God face to face. To see our Lord Jesus Christ face to face!

We are all looking for comfort at Christmas time, but as God’s people we have the greatest comfort available to us – the Holy Spirit. Jesus came at Christmas as the one who would “baptize … with the Holy Spirit.” (Mark 1:8).

No matter what we face in this life and what we walk through, we have a Good Shepherd to guide us and be with us. Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and we are His sheep.

“For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.” – John 9:39 When we recognise that we are blind we can come to Jesus; the one who can open our eyes.
