An officials son needs a miracle in order to survive; only his fathers faithful interaction will change the outcome as we inspect the interaction between a desperate man who comes to faith in Jesus contrasted by our own hearts when we come to Jesus with our needs and desperation.

We transition our attention to Thomas as Jesus continues to appear to his people post resurrection. We find a man who wants to believe, but based on the circumstance cannot without help and access to deep conviction bring himself to believe the truth of the Gospel.

The resurrection is a defining moment for the cosmos, as Jesus overcomes death and with new life brings the forgiveness of sins. It would seem to be a joyous occasion, but it is not until we see this event with the right perspective that we understand its joy. We look at three unique versions of Jesus' new life and how we must be careful about the lens we view it through.

It appears as though Jesus is under the power of Roman and Jewish oppression, yet he clearly states his power over the situation based on his faith in God's plan for salvation. We are called to now place our faith in Jesus as he plans to return and once again have power over all circumstance.

Jesus' interactions with Pilate reveal the underlying tension he faced when choosing to send Jesus to his death. The pressure both from the Jewish ruling council and Rome create immense conflict in a decision regarding an innocent man - in the end we too face these pressures as the world tries to get us to adopt its truth, rather than the truth of scripture and Jesus' life.

Jesus returns to Gethsemane in order to hand his will over to God one final time before death. Jesus' pattern of needing time with God was so clear Judas knew where to find him. We too need these patterned times with God at the Olive Press in order to reap the benefits which act powerfully to keep us convicted and faithful.

Before going to the cross, Jesus sits in prayer with his disciples teaching them the value and power that comes when conversing with our creator.

BY ROBERT MULHEARN

Jesus continues his discourse reminding the disciples of the truth that will pass, but by teaching them this truth a deep sense of peace should be created based on an understanding that God is ultimately in control. Time for us to heed these words by remembering what God has done, by what he has told us through scripture and by having our hope in an eternal relationship.

BY JORDAN DEQUINA

Jesus continues his discourse by reminding the disciples that the world will treat them as they treated him, and to not forget his words during these times. Letting go of Jesus' words will inevitably cause us to fall away (or cause us to sin [Greek]). It is time to head these words in order to remain close to our true vine.

Jesus continues to teach as the cross fast approaches - he commands that as disciples we remain in the vine, having been grafted from our old lives warning those who do not stay connected of the consequences to their spiritual health.
