These Things Are Written

Every day, your life is shaped by various stories. Some are loud and obvious, urging you to build, achieve, and define yourself. Others are quieter, surfacing in still moments and whispering that something is missing. Beneath it all is the question: which story will ultimately shape your life? John’s Gospel answers that question directly: “These things are written so that you may believe… and that by believing you may have life in His name.” In the Gospel accounts, we meet Jesus, who meets sin, fear, and death not with condemnation or revenge, but with forgiveness, peace, and resurrection. And baptized into Him, His story becomes yours.
