John 6:15 – So Jesus, aware that they intended to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself, alone. I love the beautiful picture of Christ longing, even needing, to be alone with His Father in His humanity. Jesus longs to be alone in prayer when …

Jn.5:14 – Afterward, Jesus *found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.” This scripture has the potential of being quite disturbing.
