- Nowhere Else to GoJesus preached, and the crowd walked out. He didn't chase them or soften a word. He turned to the Twelve and asked if they were leaving too. Peter knew there was nowhere else to go. And one of the men Jesus chose was a devil. https://thedailyman.org/devotions/john/2026-10-27-nowhere-else-to-go/
- Why Doesn't God Heal Everyone?God healed the man born blind for His glory. He left Paul's thorn in place for His glory too. Healing is not plan A and sickness plan B. Both come from the same wise Father's hand, and neither one means He lost.
- Can a Christian Dress Up on Halloween?Dress up on Halloween if you want. Dress up in July too. But a Christian doesn't play the witch, the medium, or the demon, not even for one night. You don't wear what God calls an abomination as a joke. Costumes are fine. Celebrating darkness isn't.
- He Came to Them on the SeaDark water, a hard wind, three or four miles of rowing, and no Jesus in the boat. Then He came to them walking on the sea, told them who He was, and told them they had nothing to fear. https://thedailyman.org/devotions/john/2026-10-22-he-came-to-them-on-the-sea/
- Bread in a Desolate PlaceFive thousand men, five barley loaves, two small fish, and a Lord who already knew what He would do. He asked Philip anyway. Then the crowd wanted to make Him king, and He walked away. https://thedailyman.org/devotions/john/2026-10-21-bread-in-a-desolate-place/
- My Father Is WorkingA man walked for the first time in thirty-eight years, and the religious leaders saw only a mat carried on the Sabbath. Jesus answered that His Father is working and so is He. They understood exactly what He meant, and they wanted Him dead for it.
- Do You Want to Be Healed?A crowd of sick men lay by a pool in Jerusalem. Jesus walked past all of them to one man who had been lying there thirty-eight years and had no one to help him. He gave no strategy. He gave a command, and the man stood up.
- Go, Your Son LivesGalilee wanted signs. A desperate official wanted a living son. Jesus spoke one sentence from Cana, the fever left Capernaum at that hour, and a whole household believed the word they had not yet seen.
- Come, See a ManShe left her jar, ran to town, and said come see a Man who told me everything. The disciples talked food. Jesus talked harvest. Samaria believed, first by her word, then by His.
- If You Knew the Gift of GodJesus had to pass through Samaria. At Jacob’s well He asked a thirsty woman for a drink, then offered her living water she could not draw for herself. If you knew the gift of God, you would ask.
- Why Jesus Asked PhilipJohn names Philip’s hometown; Luke names the feeding’s place; only together does Jesus’ bread question to Philip make quiet sense — and John already says it was a test.
- Skeptics Won't Believe ThisEvery skeptic already believes the world exists without being able to prove it. Russell admitted as much. So the question is not whether belief gates knowledge. It is which belief, and who gives it.
- The Sword Is Not InadmissibleRome now calls the death penalty inadmissible and an attack on human dignity. God grounded it in human dignity before Moses was born, and handed the magistrate the sword Himself. Man does not get to rule out what Heaven ordained.
- The First of His SignsThe jars were for washing, and they ran out of wine. Jesus did not take orders from the wedding. He showed His glory, and the disciples believed.
- Follow MeJesus finds Philip before Philip finds Jesus. Nazareth looks small; the fig tree hides nothing; Heaven will open on the Son of Man — the true ladder between God and man.
