I am Nicodemus. So are you. John 3 in the dark — the source, the mode, and the means of the life God offers, and an invitation to stop climbing and look.

The text never tells us Jesus was angry. John 2 in the temple as a planned prophetic sign act — and Jesus' quiet invitation to come let him clean house in our own lives.

Jesus' first sign in John doesn't make the headlines — a small-town wedding running out of wine. John 2 on Cana, ordinary crises, and what Mary teaches us about prayer.

"What are you looking for?" Jesus' first words in the gospel of John, an afternoon at four o'clock, and the simplest invitation in the world — come and see. John 1:35–51.

Step off your platform — and meet John the Baptist in John 1:19. Three small words that set him free, and an invitation to point past yourself, straight at Jesus.

Stop inventing God — start staring at the face of Jesus. A walk through John 1:14-18 with the One who tabernacled among us, the clearest picture of God we'll ever see.

Go touch grass — and bring John 1 with you. A walk through the prologue of John, and an invitation to let creation point you all the way back to the Creator who came near.

The verse Jesus said unlocks the whole Bible. Leviticus 19 on loving our neighbor — why apathy is a form of hatred, and why "be holy" is an invitation, not a command.

The Day of Atonement was Israel's holiest day — and a holy IOU. Why the scapegoat had to walk off every year, until one Galilean carpenter walked to a cross.
