Day 4 - John 1:14-18 — God Came Near
Article | January 4th, 2026
By Nick Oyler | Jesus FollowerI once thought of God as far off and distant from us. I thought that He stood at a distance and watched for me to mess up, and when I did—zap! However, the more I get to know the God of the Bible, I see a good God who came near to us and, from His abundant love, gives us one gracious blessing after another.
Take a few moments to reflect on this truth: God came near to us and revealed Himself to us. -

Day 3 - John 1:6-13 — Recognizing Jesus
Article | January 3rd, 2026
By Nick Oyler | Jesus Follower
bible study, daily devotional, gospel of john, john 1:6–13, lectio divina, spiritual growthHave you ever been somewhere only to discover that a close friend was in the same place, but you didn’t recognize them and missed out on a chance to connect? I recently missed out on connecting with someone I work with because I didn’t recognize them.
I’m struck by this scripture because I don’t want to miss out on this rebirth that comes from God. I want to make sure I recognize Jesus and respond to Him so we can connect.
Take a few moments to reflect on these questions:
Are my eyes open to see Jesus? Are my ears open to hear His voice? Is my heart receptive to him? -
