Hosea 7-8, Job 25-26, John 14:22-31, Revelation 2:1-17 John 14:22-31: Judas (not Iscariot) asks a question that many of us have asked. Why is it that Jesus shows himself to us but not to the whole world (14:22)? Jesus answers the question indirectly. If someone loves him, he will keep his word, and then he and the Father will come to him and make their home with him (14:23).

This Month's Featured Resource from God Centered Life
During December at God Centered Life, we're offering a copy of The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Timothy Keller with your gift of any amount. In this short and punchy book, best-selling author Timothy Keller shows that gospel-humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self-condemnation. A truly gospel-humble person is not a self-hating person or a self-loving person, but a self-forgetful person.
