I have never been a boxer, but ever since I was a child, I have heard that, in the ring, you lead with your left. That is, you position yourself opposite your opponent in such a way that your left glove is out in front. Your right glove is close to your body. You’re always jabbing with

C.S. Lewis in one of his writings speaks of all of us being eternal beings with eternal souls and that those who accept Christ will become a dazzlingly beautiful creature one that will overwhelm us. With this in view it could help us as husbands if we could see our wives as on the way to becoming

“Just before the Passover feast” (v1) is an interesting phrase that John placed strategically in this passage. Before we can have any true “Passover” experience there must be the transplanting of the human heart – not the fist-sized organ in our bodies pumping blood through our veins but the deeper
