Lessons from the Gospel of John

The tragedy is not the hostility of the world to Christ; the tragedy is the world’s indifference which treats the love of God as if it did not matter.

It is always a dangerous thing to demonstrate ones love for someone whom the orthodox regard as a heretic.

Even on the cross he knew the joy of victory and the rest of the man who has completed his task and can lean back, content and at peace.

Already the power of the cross had begun to operate, and already it was drawing all men to him.

Mary is the supreme instance of one who went on loving and believing even when she couldn’t understand; and that is the love and belief which in the end finds glory.

Love can grasp the truth when intellect is left groping and uncertain  When sorrow comes, we must never let tears blind our eyes to glory; and we must never fasten our eyes upon the grave and forget the heavens.

A Christian is essentially one who can say “I have seen the Lord”. It
means the certainty of the experience that Jesus is alive.
