MARC’S MESSAGES
It's not a matter of having to choose God because He already chose you! What if that was true?
John 15 presents one of the most essential accounts in all of the New Testament. In it, Jesus explains how our whole purpose is to stay connected to Him. He is the Source of life for us.
What a fitting Easter message on this day!

We find ourselves in the middle of a pandemic, and schools are responding to the COVID-19 crisis in a variety of ways to design and promote remote learning opportunities for students and families.
This is one of those times that the phrased "uncharted territory" is really accurate for all involved. Transitioning from site-based learning institutions to distance learning in all kinds of homes in school districts with tens of thousands of students is a monumental task, and especially when it has to be done quickly!
Grace and patience and curiosity need to reign supreme at a time like this. This challenge is the opportunity for school districts to work together, educators from all over to learn from one another, and model a sense of collaboration and community to the generation we teach. This is not the time for competition and fear and self-preservation to guide our decision-making. "Kids first" should not just be a mantra. It should be our priority right now, and to put kids first means that any sense of "I hope we do it better than they do it" has to be thrown out the window.
On top of that, there is some cool stuff in John 12, too.

MARC’S MESSAGES
John 11 is the miraculous story of Lazarus. Beyond the incredible implications of something of this supernatural magnitude being able to happen, there are important lessons for us to learn in the details of the interactions among all of the characters involved.

"You're the child of the devil!"
"No, you are!"
This is the kind of argument we see in John 8 between Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders of his day. How do we make sense of it?

It will become more and more apparent that the wheels come off anytime religion crashes into Jesus of Nazareth. The crime that the Son of God commits in this episode is healing someone on the Sabbath, an offense so scandalous to the religious establishment that they wanted Jesus dead!
