<description>When Jesus prays the High Priestly prayer on the night He was betrayed, He prays "this is eternal life, that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." Sometimes the question can come up of whether or not Jesus is saying that He is not God because He separates Himself from God in this prayer.  And whether or not Jesus is God will depend on what that eternal life actually is.  So, did God, and Jesus, actually say? </description>

<description>As Paul was in Athens he found many objects of worship, including an altar to an unknown God.  As we remind ourselves of Peter's words to always be prepared to make a defense of our faith, Paul takes the opportunity to tell the people of Athens about the true God that is unknown to them, that he will make known: the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  As we go about our daily lives, walking in faith, Christ is in us, has given us the Spirit of truth, and He helps us to do that same: share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others. </description>

<description> Jesus tells the disciples in the Gospel that He is going to prepare a place for them in His Father's house.  And He will come back and take them to be with Him.  The same applies to us.  Christ has prepared a place for us.  Peter tells us that we are a "chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."  Jesus has chosen us, prepared a place for us, and done everything possible to make sure we end up there, with Him.   </description>

<description>The Lord is my Shepherd.  These famous words of Psalm 23.  We are the sheep of the Shepherd.  The Gospel of John talks about hearing the voice of the stranger versus the voice of the Shepherd.  In the world we live in, there are many voices that try to lead us astray from the Shepherd, from the rest of the flock, into dangerous places.  Amidst all the other voices, amidst all the lies, how can we hear the Good Shepherd's voice?  </description>

<description>A revelation is a type of revealing.  On Easter Sunday, on the road to Emmaus, Jesus walks with some disciples who do not know that it's Him, and they invite Him to stay with them.  In the breaking of bread, their eyes are opened and Jesus is revealed to them as risen from the dead.  Has God revealed Himself to you recently?  As we think about how God has revealed Himself in the past, we look at how He reveals Himself to us today: specifically in His means of grace. </description>
