1010 Thrive

In John 10:9-10, Jesus declares, “I am the door,” revealing a profound truth about His role as both the access point to salvation and the ongoing source of spiritual provision. In the shepherding culture of first-century Judea, sheepfolds had a single opening, and at night, the shepherd would often lie across that gap—literally becoming the door to guard and protect the flock. With this context,...

We have just launched a new series. 10:10 with Jesus: A Deeper Look. The Gospel of John is a tremendous gift – offering us profound insights into Jesus' identity, mission, teachings, character, and ongoing work in the world.

When Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life,” He wasn’t simply using a poetic image. He was pointing to the most essential need of every human heart—spiritual sustenance found in Him alone. For people who lived on bread as their main source of nutrition, this metaphor would have felt immediate and tangible. It connected their daily hunger to their deeper longing for eternal life.

In John 15, Jesus offers one of His most intimate and powerful teachings: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser… you are the branches.” Spoken on the eve of His crucifixion, these words were more than a metaphor—they were a lifeline for His disciples and for us. Abiding in Jesus is not a passive act or religious formality; it is the very heartbeat of discipleship. It means to...

Today we continue our post-musical devotionals by reflecting on one of the most sacred and emotionally powerful moments in the life of Jesus—the Garden of Gethsemane—through the song “Not My Will.”Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus deeply moved—He weeps at Lazarus’ tomb, mourns over Jerusalem, burns with righteous anger in the temple, and extends compassion to the sick and outcast. These...

Today’s episode continues our devotionals drawn from The Disciple Whom Jesus Loves, our musical journey through the Gospel of John.As Jesus gathered His disciples for their final meal together, He didn’t just offer farewell words. He delivered something deeper: a sacred commission that would become the foundation of Christian identity. It wasn’t a strategy for church growth or a list of religious...

In today’s episode, we continue our series of devotionals based on the songs from our musical The Disciple Whom Jesus Loves. We turn our focus to one of the most intimate and powerful moments of worship recorded in the Gospels—the anointing of Jesus’ feet by a woman whose act of love was misunderstood by many, but honored by the Savior Himself.In Luke 7, an unnamed woman, known as a sinner,...

Today’s episode explores the transformational encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus, and the mysterious, powerful gift of spiritual rebirth.
