The story of Nicodemus appears in three passages in the Gospel of John, offering us a fascinating glimpse into his spiritual transformation. Many people resonate with his journey, as it reflects the path of a sincere seeker moving from curiosity to conviction.

As Jesus’ mission on earth was ending, He gave His disciples both a warning and some much-needed encouragement. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33. These are words we can cling to

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “Jesus is the King of kings”? I immediately think of Handel’s Hallelujah chorus- the swelling voices proclaiming “King of Kings! Lord of Lords!” Where is this grand description of Jesus in the Bible? And what challenges do we face as daughters of the King of kings?

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Matthew 5:6. That was my verse of the day last week, and when I read it, I thought, “What does that really mean?” Jesus was teaching the disciples about the characteristics his followers should have.
