No, the trees outside were the same, the furniture in the living room was the same, all the aquarium fish were still the same fish. What changed were the ...read more

    Go The First Ten Feet

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Apr 8, 2017
     | 4,623 views

    Self-denial is to be lifted with Jesus—and the first ten feet of his ascent is on the Cross. You cannot reach for Jesus without letting go of the things you’re holding onto. Make it your passion to go the first ten feet with Jesus.

    "When I am lifted-up," Jesus said, "I will draw all people to myself." And just in case you are tempted to interpret this up-lifted status to mean something glitzy, John sticks in a little commentary in verse 33 to make clear that the "lifting up" Jesus had in mind was the cross. Ultimately Jesus ...read more
