Prayerfully Read John 18:28-32 28Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to Pilate’s headquarters. It was early in the morning. They themselves did not enter the headquarters, so as to avoid ritual defilement and to be able to eat the Passover. 29So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30They answered, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.” 31Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law.” The Jews replied, “We are not permitted to put anyone to death.” 32(This was to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.) Prayerfully Wonder The Jews (the religious rulers), thought they were in charge. They would manipulate Pilate into doing what they wanted—crucifying Jesus. They took him to Pilate’s headquarters, whom they disrespected when they refused to go inside, making Pilate come outside. They wanted to avoid ritual defilement so they could eat Passover that night. It was the first of seven times that Pilate went outside for Jesus’ trial. He immediately asked for the accusation. Thinking they controlled the narrative, the Jews didn’t give one, insisting that Pilate submit to their judgment that Jesus deserved to die. Pilate tried to refuse, but the Jews persisted, reminding Pilate they had no power to condemn a person to death by crucifixion. John ended this first scene with a parenthetical statement: “(This was to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.)” Three times Jesus had said that he would be “lifted up,”[1] indicating his both his death on a cross and his glorification. The men who believed they controlled the narrative failed to realize they were powerless. They were doing what Jesus said would happen to him. I think about this scene today as wealthy, powerful men think they control the narrative of what happens in the U.S., and the world. Like the Jews who thought they were in control, today’s powerful fail to see the Greater Power, God, behind them inexorably bringing the narrative to the fulfillment of God’s plan. Trust that Power. Life may be messy and ugly, tempting us to take control of the narrative of our nation, our personal lives, the church. Who are you trusting to control the narrative of what you’re now living? Prayerfully Respond Lord Jesus, help me today to look to you, trust you alone to control the narrative, even when things seem to get worse and not better. Amen. Live obediently. Trust Jesus, who controls the narrative of the world. [1] John 3:14, 8:28; 12:32.

Prayerfully Read John 18:15-27 15Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, 16but Peter was standing outside at the gate. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, spoke to the woman who guarded the gate, and brought Peter in. 17The woman said to Peter, “You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” 18Now the slaves and the police had made a charcoal fire because it was cold, and they were standing around it and warming themselves. Peter also was standing with them and warming himself. 19Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. 20Jesus answered, “I have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret. 21Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said to them; they know what I said.” 22When he had said this, one of the police standing nearby struck Jesus on the face, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?” 23Jesus answered, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong. But if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?” 24Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. 25Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They asked him, “You are not also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” 26One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?” 27Again Peter denied it, and at that moment the cock crowed. Prayerfully Wonder Three times Jesus identified himself with I am. Three times Peter identified himself with I am not. Not only did Peter deny his identity as a disciple of Jesus, he also denied his identity, period. He slipped back into the old Peter, living out of the false self. He denied his true self, the person Jesus helped him discover and own. Only hours earlier in his prayer, Jesus had described the disciples, including Peter. They were given to him by the Father; had kept God’s word; alone knew that everything Jesus gave them came from the Father. These disciples, he said, knew and believed this truth (17:6-8). But on that dark and frightening night, standing around a charcoal fire with slaves and police, Peter disowned all that. I am not, he said, three times. Meanwhile, Jesus was inside on trial. When asked about his teaching, he told his accusers he’d always spoken openly and they could ask those who’d heard him because “they know what I said.” But outside, the one who knew what he said, denied him and all he said. And then the cock crowed. Peters is no longer in the scene. John doesn’t state his reaction to the cock crow. After the resurrection, around another charcoal fire, Jesus will reinstate him. Not by asking him whether he is a disciple or not. But asking the more critical question, three times: Do you love me? Jesus warned Peter that he could not follow where he was going. Peter defied him and followed. He got into trouble. In what ways do you see yourself in Peter? Prayerfully Respond Lord, help me obey you at all times so that I never say I am not. Amen. Live obediently. Be your true self.  Prepare to Listen. I am the light of the world.
Prayerfully Read John 18:1-11 After Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3So Judas brought a detachment of soldiers together with police from the chief priests and the Pharisees, and they came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4Then Jesus, knowing all that was to happen to him, came forward and asked them, ‘For whom are you looking?’ 5They answered, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ Jesus replied, ‘I am he.’ Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6When Jesus said to them, ‘I am he’, they stepped back and fell to the ground. 7Again he asked them, ‘For whom are you looking?’ And they said, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ 8Jesus answered, ‘I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.’ 9This was to fulfil the word that he had spoken, ‘I did not lose a single one of those whom you gave me.’ 10Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus. 11Jesus said to Peter, ‘Put your sword back into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?’ Prayerfully Wonder Jesus, the Good Shepherd said, “I have power to lay [my life] down, and I have power to take it up again” (Jn 10:18). He spoke the truth. Judas arrived with temple police and an attachment of Roman soldiers (about 600 [1]), who came “with lanterns and torches and weapons.” Six hundred armed men to arrest one unarmed man! It seems a bit excessive; it suggests the Jewish authorities were afraid of Jesus. They thought they were in control, but John’s narrative shows Jesus was fully in control, with power to lay down and take up his life. Thus, knowing what was to happen, he voluntarily stepped forward to meet them. Unlike the thief who runs from danger, the Good Shepherd was willing to face it (Jn 10:11f). He boldly asked twice, “For whom are you looking?” When they told him, he fearlessly said, three times, “I am.”[2] On hearing him, the soldiers did what armed soldiers don’t usually do, certainly not before one unarmed man, “they stepped back and fell to the ground.” They weren’t in control. John doesn’t explain why they fell to the ground. Was it Jesus’ claim to deity (I am is God’s name) or, was it his boldness before armed soldiers? Did they sense that Jesus possessed a power over them that they couldn’t control because it wasn’t the power of physical force? Jesus rejected violence, severely rebuked Peter’s pathetic attempt—one sword against 600! He embraced powerlessness and willingly gave himself up, choosing to lay down his life for his sheep. He asked only for the safety of his followers, guarding them to the end (Jn 17:12). Imagine yourself in this scene. How would you respond to Jesus’ act of powerlessness? Prayerfully Respond Thank you, Jesus, my Good Shepherd for laying down your life for your sheep, of whom I’m one. Amen. Live obediently. Rejecting violence, he willingly laid down his life. Follow this Jesus. [1] An attachment was between 200 and 300 soldiers. Brodie, Thomas L. The Gospel According to John. New York, NY: Oxford University Press. 1993, p. 524.

Prayerfully Read John 12:12-19 12The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord—the King of Israel!’ 14Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it; as it is written: 15‘Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!’ 16His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written of him and had been done to him. 17So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify. 18It was also because they heard that he had performed this sign that the crowd went to meet him. 19The Pharisees then said to one another, ‘You see, you can do nothing. Look, the world has gone after him!’ Prayerfully Wonder As Jesus rode into Jerusalem a great crowd gathered, waved palm branches and shouted: “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord—the King of Israel!” Hosanna is a word we often sing. It’s in old and new hymns of praise and often used as another way to say hallelujah. And that’s what we think hosanna means--praise the Lord. But we got that wrong! It’s not a word of praise. It’s an urgent petition for salvation. The Hebrew literally means, “Oh, save us now!” [1] And that’s what the crowd going with Jesus into Jerusalem were pleading for that day. Salvation. Not a future salvation, ‘heaven when I die.’ But a present one. They wanted salvation from the Roman occupiers. It took courage to shout out that Jesus was king. It was a protest against Pilate and they risked his anger and punishment by his army. They pleaded for regime change, for salvation from brutal and cruel Roman rule. They wanted Jesus to be king and save them from Pilate, Caesar, Rome. It was a daring protest march. As I write these words today, I think of immigrant families in this country being torn apart by a regime that wants to expel them; I think of protesters treated with cruelty by a government desperate to hold onto power; I think of people the world over being attacked, oppressed by a bully dictator, or a brutal marriage, or violent care-takers. I think of them and urgently plead, Hosanna, Lord! Save them now. Who do you know who might need to use the word hosanna today? Pray for them. Prayerfully Respond I cry, Hosanna Lord, for all those being oppressed today. Depose and scatter their oppressors and set the let the oppressed go free. Amen. Live obediently. Shout hosanna for those who need saving from oppression today. [1] Butler Bass, Diana. A Beautiful Year. New York, NY: St. Marin’s Essentials. 2025, p. 154.  Prepare to Listen.

Prayerfully Read John 17:6-12 6“I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, 8for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me. 9I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. 10All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I have been glorified in them. 11And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one. 12While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. Prayerfully Wonder “I am not asking on behalf of the world.” Did that surprise you? Jesus not praying for the world? But there it is. His longest prayer isn’t for the world. It is for his disciples who daily live surrounded by “the world.” “The world” isn’t the physical universe, an earthly space. It refers to what’s in rebellion against God, distorting God’s ways, choosing darkness over light, hatred over love, lies over truth. This is the world Jesus left his disciples, including you and I, to live in every day. You’d think he’d pray for it to change so that we’d be safe and secure. Instead, he prays on behalf of his disciples, those whom God gave him, for protection and oneness. “Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.” Protection and oneness with each other are serious requests, ones the church, Christians, today urgently needs. We’re bombarded through a variety of means with attractive yet subtle distortions of Christianity. Daily we hear more bad news, losses to lament. We need protection to avoid becoming overwhelmed with discouragement that we close ourselves off from the suffering in the world. We need unity to support each other instead of cutting ourselves off from others. Holy Father, protect us. Jesus left his church in a messy world, trusting it to the Father’s safe keeping. What specifically do you think you, or those you know need protection from today? Prayerfully Respond Jesus, I pray with you, ‘Holy Father, protect us and make us one.’ Amen. Live obediently. Pray with Jesus for protection and oneness.  Prepare to Listen. You are the light of the world.
Prayerfully Read John 16:16-24 16“A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me.” 17Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying to us, ‘A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me,’ and ‘because I am going to the Father’?” 18They said, “What does he mean by this ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.” 19Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, ‘A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’? 20Very truly, I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will have pain, but your pain will turn into joy. 21When a woman is in labor, she has pain because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world. 22So you have pain now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23On that day you will ask nothing of me. Very truly, I tell you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. Prayerfully Wonder “A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me.” Which is it? We’re not surprised the disciples complained, “We do not know what he is talking about.” Jesus saw their confusion and patiently explained. “You will no longer see me” was for them, not us. Jesus was about to be arrested and crucified. They would experience his loss. Jesus warned them it would be painful, comparable to the pain of a woman in labor. But, once a healthy baby arrives, her suffering turns to joy. So too would they know joy because, in a little while they would see him again. Whatever he meant, the rejoicing they’d experience wouldn’t be transient, but permanent. He promised, “no one will take your joy from you.” In a little while, they would see him again. He didn’t only mean in his post-resurrection appearances, nor one day, in a distant future when he returned. This is a seeing that we too can experience now because it’s about the promise of a permanent relationship, “the continued experience of his presence in the Christian,” through the indwelling of his Spirit. [1] We see him with spiritual sight. “On that day you will ask nothing of me.” That’s for us too. Because of his death and resurrection, a new order came into being, one in which direct access to the Father is possible. We can ask anything in Jesus’ name. In my name means our asking aligns with all that the name of Jesus stands for. It’s not license for greed. “Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.” It’s an amazing privilege, and also an awesome responsibility. What do you think it means for you to ask in Jesus’ name? Prayerfully Respond Sometimes, Lord your words are confusing. Help me live with them so that I come to a deeper understanding of you and live more faithfully. Amen. Live obediently. Ask in Jesus’ name. [1] Brodie, Thomas L. The Gospel According to John.

Prayerfully Read John 15:6-11 6Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. 9As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. 10If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. Prayerfully Wonder Six times Jesus urges his followers to abide in him, in his love and let his Word abide in them. It’s not merely important. It’s essential. Abide. Be at home in an intimate love-relationship with Jesus. It sounds easy enough, yet we struggle to remain. I know I do. How can we obey this seemingly simple command that is so beneficial for us? How can I abide? First, the vine imagery stresses that branches aren’t lone rangers. There are many branches on the same vine. We belong to each of them. Remaining in the vine means remaining in relationship with other branches, our family in Christ. As many saints have said, “One Christian is no Christian. We go to God together or we don’t go at all.” Second, stay in the Word. Not only must we abide in Christ, but his words, commandments must abide in us. The key to abiding in Christ is through his Word. As Paul urged, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” (Col 3:16). Spend meaningful time reading and absorbing Scripture, not just in church on Sundays, listening to podcasts, watching some preacher on TV. But in personal regular and consistent reading of Scripture. Prayerfully meditating, that is, repeating, mulling over, letting the word go from the head to the heart.[1] Two key practices to abide in Christ—remain in a faith community and the Word of Christ dwell in you richly. Make a plan to help you do both on a regular basis and ask Christ to help you. Prayerfully Respond Forgive me, Lord when I fail to take seriously abiding in you by abiding in your word and your people. Amen. Live obediently. Abide in Christ and his love.

Prayerfully Read John 15:1-5 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. 2He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. 3You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. 4Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. 5I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Prayerfully Wonder If these verses were so familiar that you skimmed them, read them again as if for the very first time. As I did that, I got stuck on one word—true. Jesus said, “I am the true vine.” This can only mean there are many vines, but only one true vine. All the rest are false, distortions, imitations that, sadly, lead many astray. That Jesus used the qualifier, true, is a warning to us. Be discerning—know the true from the false, and reject the false, no matter how convincing or popular it is. True is more than the opposite of false. Unlike the false, the true is life-giving, makes flourishing possible, is above the earthly and ordinary, has an aura of the divine, the holy about it.[1] The false is more concerned about increasing in numbers than increasing in godliness. Whereas, Jesus, the true vine, removes branches that fail to “bear fruit.” Fruit-bearing is far more than good works, virtue or even evangelism. Fruit is a common Old Testament image that stands for “the community’s faithfulness in response to God’s word.”[2] Where we see people focused on living God’s word, being loud about what God is loud about, and silent about what the Bible is silent on, that’s a fruit bearing and true vine. People in it will be growing in deep union with Jesus, abiding in him, the vine, becoming like him and making him visible to the world. For this reason, Jesus constantly prunes, that is, cleanses the vine, removing false branches, making us godlier, truer, more faithful. Those who remain in the true vine, in union with Jesus, experience constant change, because we constantly need pruning so that we grow deeper in union with him and reflect his true image to the world. What caught your attention as you read these familiar words? Prayerfully Respond Lord Jesus, help me be ever discerning so that I reject the false vines and stay in you the True Vine, submitting to your pruning and cleansing. Amen. Live obediently. Abide in the true vine. [1] Brodie, Thomas L. The Gospel According to John. New York, NY: Oxford University Press. 1993, p. 479. [2] O’Day, Gail and Hylen, Susan. John.

Prayerfully Read John 14:25-31 25“I have said these things to you while I am still with you. 26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. 28You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. 29And now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when it does occur you may believe. 30I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me, 31but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us be on our way. Prayerfully Wonder John 14 begins and ends with the same instruction from Jesus: “Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.” They were troubled and afraid because Jesus said he was leaving them. To encourage them, he gave this assurance: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.” “Faced with the emptiness of Jesus’ departure,” writes Neyrey, “the disciples are given fulness; that is, shalom, or peace.”[1] Peace, from the Hebrew shalom, is more than the absence of disorder, violence, disunity. It’s also more than brokering peace between warring parties. Shalom has to do with wholeness, wellbeing, flourishing. It’s about thriving not merely surviving. And it’s not just for individuals. Shalom is for the whole community. When we work together, we’ll experience wellbeing and fruitfulness, that is, the peace, shalom Jesus gives to troubled hearts. When bad stuff happens, our default mode is often fear. Jesus didn’t rebuke his disciples for being afraid, but was compassionate. Their future without him was unknown. Of course they were fearful. His compassion is also for us in our fears: ‘Don’t let your hearts be afraid; don’t let fear take over so that you respond badly. Instead, receive my peace, a peace that works towards the wellbeing and fruitfulness of all.’ A friend ends her correspondence with, “May we be peace.” I borrow her phrase. May we be those who seek the welfare of all, enemy and friend, and live so they flourish and are fruitful. How can you participate with God in not only giving but also being shalom to your neighbors, those you like and those you don’t, today? Prayerfully Respond Lord, help me be your shalom to those I interact with today, regardless of their race, gender, creed, political leanings. Amen. Live obediently. Be shalom. [1] Neyrey, Jerome H.

Prayerfully Read John 14:18-24 18 “I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. 19In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me, and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.” 22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” 23Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me.” Prayerfully Wonder “Lord, how is it that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” What answer would you like to hear from Jesus? Judas (not Iscariot) asked a reasonable question. One some of us also want an answer. If Jesus came for the whole world, not merely a few, why not reveal himself to the world? Jesus didn’t answer the question. Instead, he repeated what Judas (and maybe some of us) ignored—those who love him keep his word. Jesus used the Greek for love, agapaō, seven times. Hammering home the importance of unselfish love. Those who love him, keep his commandments, and are loved by the Father and Jesus. Why he didn’t reveal himself to the world is none of our business. Loving him is. The church is good at teaching us to obey God’s Word with warnings of punishment if we don’t. moralism is its strong point! It hasn’t been good at training us to love Jesus. And unless we learn to love him, the Jesus revealed in the Gospels, there will be no motivation to obey his word, which aren’t easy or pleasant. Reward-punishment moralism doesn’t work. Loving Jesus does. If we fail to love him with unselfish love, we’ll distort his words into less demanding ones that require little effort. Or, we’ll become loud about moralistic issues (eg, abortion and homosexuality) the Bible is silent about, and silent on what the Bible is loud on (justice and help for the widow, the poor, the immigrant among us). We, the church must do better at teaching people to love Jesus. This will only happen if we tell, over and over, the stories of Jesus. We’ll never learn to love him if we don’t know him because we neglect to teach his stories. This is why I write so many devotions on Gospel lessons. To train myself and others to love the Jesus of the Gospel and not of our imaginations. What are you doing so that your motivation for obedience is your growing love for the Jesus of the Gospels? And what are you doing to train others to love Jesus so they will keep his word? Prayerfully Respond Lord Jesus, keep me grounded in your stories so that I obey your word because I love you and want to, not because I fear punishment. Amen Live obediently. Love Jesus and keep his word. |
