Jesus came to reveal His glory.

“Jesus Came to Reveal His Glory” (John 17:1-5) It’s clear from the Bible that the apostle John was the closest to Jesus. He appears to be the one Jesus loved the most and in his writing we see an intimacy that we don’t see in the other gospels. This is especially true in ...read more

Jesus Christ, Our Great High Priest

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2022
