If you lived in America in the 1980s and 1990s, you may remember when we rented movies (VCRs in my childhood) at Blockbuster. Many of the stores had posters that, on the surface, looked abstract or geometric, but they contained hidden 3D images. I’d stop to stare and, eventually, the
“I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God.” –John 1:34 Whether you’re intimately familiar or new to the story of Jesus, we can learn a lot from the account of John. Both declarations in today’s Scripture are important: I have seen Him. Stop
Once upon a time, a much younger me stood in a hospital gift shop in Dallas, Texas and bought a small plaque that had this verse engraved on it: “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” —Hebrews 11:1 After much
