We live in a world that is broken. We pray each week “your kingdom come . . .” This simple line in our prayer is a reminder that there are still significant evidences and manifestation of the kingdom of darkness all around us. We are also somewhat distracted by one of our American virtues – “the right to the pursuit of happiness” – which has bled into a vice – my comfort.

Jesus: Signs of His Glory. There are seven signs of Jesus' divinity in the gospel of John. These signs point to Jesus' glory. John ends his gospel by saying, "Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book." - John 20:30

“In Christ” was the wellspring of all spiritual blessings and pursuits for the apostle Paul. His letter to the Ephesians is a treatise on the value of establishing our identity in Christ. In Christ we have every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places (Eph. 1:3) – and in Christ “we are filled with all the fullness of God” (Eph. 3:19) to live as Christ. Therein lies the key to know Christ and to make him known.

GRATITUDE: RESPONDING TO A GENEROUS GOD We cannot read the worship-prayer book of Israel, the Psalms, without being captured with the notion of thanksgiving undergirding every type of expression to God in prayer. Even the darkest laments often end in thanksgiving, or at least the expectation of God's intervention, which is the shadow of thanksgiving.
