Today's Reading John 11.30-57
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 11
John 11.30-54
The shortest verse in the Bible is very relevant: 'Jesus wept.' Jesus knows the heartaches, pains and suffering of men and women when He was on earth, this is why He is the Great High Priest as described in Hebrews 4:15 (New International Version):
15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.
Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead (v. 38=44)

Today's Reading John 7.28-53
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 7
John 7.28-53
No one could seize Jesus because his time has not yet come (v. 30). We should know that God is in control of everything that has happened in our lives, nothing will happen to us UNLESS God permits it. The Pharisees had the word of God with the evidence of the coming of the Messiah from the Prophets, but they were blind and did not see who Jesus was. Jesus made a prophecy about Himself that He would go to the One who sent Him, and that they could not find Him, speaking of His death (v.33), and Ascension.
37On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38Whoever believes in me, as[c] the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." 39By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. Jesus is the One who can quench our deepest spiritual longings, in Him we can be complete.
The Jewish leaders as before was filled with unbelief yet they have all the facts. Let us too be careful with our readings of Scripture. We need the Holy Spirit to reveal to us what God's will for us.

Today's Reading John 7.1-29
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 7
John 7 with Commentaries, verse by verse
John 7.1-29
Jesus brothers did not understand much less knew him. They were embarassed by him and mocked him, telling him to go to Judea to perform some miracles for his disciple. It was after the resurrection that they came to a saving knowledge of him and were leaders in the church. Two epistles were written by them. One by James and the other by Jude. Are we embarassed by Jesus. Do we have acquainatnce with Him but we really don't know Him?
Jesus was under opposition by the Jewish leaders and they wanted to kill him. The people admired Jesus but were afraid to speak openly of Him lest they would be excommunicated from the synagogues. The Jewish leaders wondered how Jesus could have taught with such authority and wisdom. They had wanted to kill Him because He healed on the Sabbath. he pointed out to them that they themselves do 'work' in performing circumcision. Sometimes the eight day after a male child is born would fall on the Sabbath and they would have to circumcise the child.
How do you know that Jesus teaching is from God. If we do God's will we will find out that Jesus is from God. They asked if Jesus is the Christ. They were using the Old Testament to see if He was the Messiah. They thought they knew Him but they did not KNOW Him or the Father. He was from Nazareth, this was one of the Prophecies spoken from the Prophets but they did not get it. Do you know of Jesus, the things that He did but do you KNOW Him in a personal relationship?

Today's Reading John 6.45-71
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 6
John 6 with Commentaries, verse by verse
John 6.45-71
Jesus continued by saying that no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws that person to Him (Jesus). We cannot even boast that we came to Jesus because it is the Father who is responsible for that. He continued that they should eat his flesh and drink his blood referring to us participating in the Lord's Supper. The Jews were revolted by what he said. They taught that they were to literally eat His flesh and drink His blood. They though he was talking about cannibalism. Jesus was saying that we should participate in the Lord's Supper but it does not mean that we will saved by the sacrament. Rather throughout the discourse He spoke of salvation which is based on faith (v. 35, 40, 47, 51).
Many deserted Him because they could not accept what he taught. He knew that some would desert Him and even that Judas would betray Him. Let us be careful of our faith because it is so easy to desert Jesus or turn our backs on Him when things get tough. Peter had a very good point when he said, 'to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God. Judas was with Jesus for some three and a half years, he heard Jesus' words, saw his miracles, spent time with Him, yet he betrayed him. Let us be on the guard at all times lest we desert Jesus.

Today's Reading John 6.1-21
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 6
John 6 with Commentaries, verse by verse
John 6.1-21
This is the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand as found in In John 6.1-13; Matthew 14.13-21; Mark 6.32-44; Luke 9.10-17. This shows that Jesus supplies all our needs (Philippians 4.19) and this set the stage for his discourse on 'I am the Bread of Life'(John 6.35). He fed the people because of a boy's lunch of five loaves and two fish. God can do amazing things through us IF we have the faith and obedience to be used from Him.
Jesus walked on the water (John 6.16-21; Matthew 14.22-33; Mark 6.47-51). The disciples were in the boat when the storm picked up. Jesus was walking towards them on the water. he said to them, 'do not be afraid.' We need to know that in the storms of life we should keep our eyes upon Jesus and not on the storm. He is the one owho can control the waves and storms of life.

John
John the beloved disciple wrote the Gospel of John, 1, 2, 3 John and Revelation. John portrayed Jesus as the Son of God. Starting from John 1:1 that Jesus is God to the 'I AM that I am' to 'I ams' of Jesus John urther information on John check the links below: Can you name the 'I ams' of Jesus?
John 1
The stumbling block for the Jews is when you say Jesus is God. There are three litmus tests to test what a person believes to see if he or she is a Christian. The first is Jesus is God, secondly Jesus rose from the dead and finally, you are saved by grace and not by works. Jesus is described as logos, the Word. Jesus is portrayed as the Son of God. Jesus IS God, He has no beginning and no end. John the Baptist came as the witness to the Messiah. how can God become a man that is a mystery which can only be taken by faith.
Jesus' Two Natures
Jesus is God
Jesus is a man
Bible verses that show Jesus is God
Verse 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. NKJV
Philippians 2.5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. NKJV
This is an awesome mystery that God becomes man. Let us thank God
Notice the conrast between light and darkness mentioned here and in 1 John 1. verse 12 is a promise for us 'Yet to all who received him to thise who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.'
John the Baptist was emphatic in denying that he was the Christ. He only acknowledged that he was the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.' He was just the forerunner. In verse 27 he said 'He is the
one who comes after me, the thongs of shose sandals I am not worthy to untie.' We need to learn to be humble and be a servant like John the Baptist.

Luke 24 with Commentaries, verse by verse
The two disciples went and told the Eleven that they saw Jesus and how He broke bread with them. Jesus appeared to them and said, 'Peace be with you.' He told them to look at His hands and feet and to touch Him. He then asked if they had anything to eat. He was showing them that He had a resurrected body and was not a ghost. He the said that everything was fulfilled, his death and resurrection. He then told them to preach the repentance and forgiveness of sins (Matthew 28, the Great Commission)
He then ascended into heaven, and they were full with joy and stayed continually at the temple praising God. So it is with our experience when we know the resurrected Lord, we know that He is victorious over death and sin and we have every reason to be joyful about the repentance and forgiveness of sin and having a new resurrected body like Jesus.

When they got there the tomb was empty and they saw two angels. They said that He was risen. They remembered his words that he would be crucified and buried and risen on the third day, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women told the eleven apostles but they did not believe them! Peter, however, ran to the tomb and examine the strips of linen and he wondered to himself what happened. Isn’t amazing that Jesus told them repeatedly that he would rise from the dead and when it happened they did not believe him!
Luke 24:13-53
The two disciples unnamed were on the road to Emmaus, when they met Jesus. They walked and talked about the events of the week, yet they did not realize who He was until he broke bread, gave thanks and gave it to them. It said in verse 32 They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" Isn't that the way it is with us that we may have listened to a sermon, read the Bible, have quiet time but the Word did not speak to us until 'our eyes' were opened.

Today's Reading Luke 23.26-56
Luke 23 with Commentaries, verse by verse
The order for the crucifixion was carried out. Luke 23.33-43; Matthew 27.33-44; Mark 15.22-32; John 19.17-24
This African American spiritual spoke to me.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
I felt that I was there because of my sins He died for me. Were you there at the cross as well?
Arthur Pink:The Seven Sayings of Jesus on the Cross
The most important decision one can make in his or her life is what to do with Jesus Christ. There were two other crosses, one thief rejected Christ. the other realized that he sinned and he deserved what he got. He asked Jesus to remember him when he go into his kingdom. It is never too late to come to Jesus nor you are forgiven whatever sins you commit IF you come to Jesus, repent and turn away from the sin and ask him to be Lord and Savior in your life.

How to Become a Christian
In Luke 23.44-49; Matthew 27.45-56; Mark 15.33-41, Jesus was nailed to the cross at 9 a.m. From about noon until 3 p.m. darkness came over the land, The veil of the Holy of Holies was split in two and Jesus committed his spirit to God (v. 46). Because the veil was split we now have access into the Holy of Holies to God through Jesus Christ(Hebrews 10.19-25). The centurion supervising the crucifixion said that Jesus was a righteous man and praised God.
In Luke 23.50-56; Matthew 27.57-61; Mark 15.42-47; John 19.38-42 Jesus was buried in Joseph of Arimathea’s tomb. Usually the remains of a crucified man would be unburied or at best be in a pauper’s field. Joseph had courage to ask for Jesus’ body in this situation. The women were at the cross. Except for John, where were the men? The women used spices such as aloes and myrrh to prepare Jesus’ body for burial on Friday afternoon. They had to rest on the Sabbath (Saturday).

Today's Reading Luke 23.1-25
Luke 23 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Jesus before Pilate
Jesus before the Sanhedrin: Luke 22.67-71; Matthew 26.63-66; Mark 14.61-63; John 18.19-21
Jesus before Pilate Luke 23.2-3; Matthew 27.11-14; Mark 15.2-5; John 18.29-37
Pilate could not find Jesus guilty of any crimes although there were many false accusation against him. When he found out that a Galilean, he sent him to Herod because Jesus would be under Herod’s jurisdiction.
Luke 23.8.-12 this is the only account of Jesus before Herod. Herod probably wanted to see him perform a miracle to entertain him. Jesus ignored Herod. Sometimes it is better not to cast your pearl before swine. We should be wise as serpents but harmless as doves.
Luke 23.13-43
Jesus before Pilate Luke 23.2-3; Matthew 27.11-14; Mark 15.2-5; John 18.29-37
Luke 23.18-25; Matthew 27.15-26; Mark 15.6-15; John 18.39-19.16
Pilate could not find Jesus guilty of any crimes although there were many false accusation against him. Pilate was a politician and he was a coward. He did what was politically expedient for number one (Pilate). He was willing to punish Jesus and then release him. There was a mob outside, and they incited the people to yell crucify him. It was either Jesus or Barabbas. Which one would you have picked facing that situation? Pilate decided to crucify Jesus, he did not want a riot on his hands or lose his political career.

Today's Reading Luke 22.47-71
Luke 22 with Commentaries, verse by verse
In Luke 22.47-52; Matthew 26.47-56; Mark 14.43-50; John 18.3-11, Jesus was arrested. It is interesting that Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard and the elders in verse 53….But this is your hour-when darkness reigns.
Peter disowns Jesus
Luke 22.55-62; Matthew 26.69-75; Mark 14.66-72; John 18.16, 25-27
The all-confident rash Peter became a coward when a servant girl and two other individual claimed that Peter was with Jesus. Each time, his language became stronger form the other Gospels. Let us not be too hard on Peter, what would you have done in this situation. It is very easy to say that I will follow and will die for Jesus but when the rubber meets the road and the situation is stark and real what would you do. This is why we need to pray that we wuld have the strenght and courage to stand up for Jesus.
The Soldiers mock Jesus

Today's Reading Luke 22.31-46
Luke 22 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Simon Peter had a trial to face, Jesus had allowed Satan to sift hum as wheat. Jesus was understanding even today as our High priest because He knows our frailty. Peter meant it that he was ready to go with Jesus to prison and death. We may feel that way as well but we have the human flesh that we can also fail our Lord. Let us not say that we will be faithful to the Lord in trial and temptations but humble ourselves and pray for strength.
Jesus was letting them know that in the past, people had shown hospitality to them in verse 35, but now thing s would change, there would be opposition, the disciples would have to fend for themselves to pay for their clothing and provisions. Jesus mentioned even getting a sword. Then he pointed out that the prophecy about His death would soon be fulfilled/ The disciples were not listening to Jesus closely. They were focused on getting two swords. Jesus was sarcastic when He said to get two swords.
Luke 22.40-46; Matthew 26.36-46; Mark 14.32-42, Jesus went with his disciples to the Mount of Olives, He warned them about praying that they would not fall into temptation twice (v. 40 and 46) . He was obedient to the Father and set the Perfect example for us ‘Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me, yet not my will, but yours be done. We need to learn from Jesus when He was obedient even when it meant that He would go to the cross. Another lesson we learnt here was if the disciples were praying instead of sleeping they would not fall into temptation and fled when the Romans and the Jewish authorities came for Jesus, Peter would not have struck the servant of the high priest with his sword.

Today's Reading Luke 22.1-30
Luke 22 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Luke 22.1-2; Matthew 26.2-5; Mark 14.1-2, 10-11, at the Feast of the Unleavened Bread, also called the Passover, Judas agreed to betray Jesus for money (30 pieces of silver) Why would someone do something like this?
Arrangements were made for the last supper (Luke 22.7-13; Matthew 20.17-19; Mark 14.12-16. Jesus gave the disciples instructions in getting an upper room for the last supper. What Jesus told them, He knew it would happen even though they went out in faith to follow His instructions. When the Lord wants us to do a particular task for Him we should go in faith and obedience and joyfully follow his instructions.
Luke 22.14-34
Luke 22.21-23; Matthew 26.21-24; Mark 14.18021; John 13.21-30 Jesus said that the hand of the who is going to betray him is with him. He meant Judas Iscariot.
In verses 13-23, Jesus use the bread and the wine to symbolize His death. Wheat has to be crushed to make bread in the same way His body was broken for us. Wine is made from grapes which are crushed and fermented. In the same way His body was crushed and blood was shed for us.
Can you imagine on that night the disciples were blind and were concerned about who was the greatest. He presented the paradox of greatness to them: To be the greatest you have to be a servant!! This is not the way of the world.
