Today's Reading John 14

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 14

John 14
The disciples knew that something was going to happen that night and they felt uneasy. Jesus comforts his disciples, by telling them that He was going to prepare a place for them. This should be a source of comfort to us as well. Another great 'I am' and a verse worth memorizing, is presented here: Jesus said 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' We do not claim that Jesus is the way the Truth and the Life, He did! This may not be politically correct and sounds exclusive, but these are the words of Jesus.

John 14.15-31
Jesus promises the Holy Spirit if they loved Him and obey his command. It is not enough for us to say that we love Jesus, we have to obey Him as well. Let us talk about loving Jesus. It is simply this ‘If anyone loves me, he will obey my teachings. The bottom line is obedience to His teachings. The benefit is that the Father and Son will come to the obedient Christian and make their home with him. The Holy Spirit will teach us all things and will remind us of the words that He has said.

Verse to meditate and memorize: John 14.27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.



Jesus foretold that He was going away and He will come back to the disciples.

Today's Reading John 13.21-38

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 13

John 13.21-38
Being a prophet, Jesus foretold His betrayal. Scripture would be fulfilled that night when Judas betrayed Him (Psalm 41.9). The disciples were puzzled when Jesus said that one of them would betray Him. Jesus said that 'It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.' He gave the bread to Judas and Satan entered into him. He told Judas to go and do what he is about to do quickly indicating that he should hurry up and arrange the betrayal. You notice it said at the end of the passage:Itwas night

Do we understand that it is by the cross that the Son is glorified as well as God the Father. Verses to meditate on today: 34A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (NKJV) Unbelievers will know we are Christians not by the words or actions or by how devout we are, byt whether or not we love one another. When we get to 1 John we see love is a major theme of 1 John. John the apostle is known as the disciple whom Jesus love. He is the apostle who teaches about love.

Jesus as a prophet foretold Peter's denial (John 13.37-38; Matthew 26.33-35; Mark 14.29-31; Luke 22.33-34). Peter was always a man of action and words but we knew that he denied Christ three times. Let us be careful with our promises and vows we make to God.

Today's Reading John 13.1-20

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 13

John 13.1-30
Jesus surprised the disciples by washing their feet. In the Jewish culture at that time it was the menial task of a servant. There were no servant present and no one had volunteered to wash the disciples' feet. This was the only Gospel account of the feet washing. This was done during the meal not at the arrival and was done on puropose to teach them an object lesson. Jesus said 'I am among you as one who serves.' (Luke 22.27). Jesus told them that servant is greater than his master indicating that they should be as humble as He is and they would be blessed if they did what he had commanded them.

Today's Reading John 12.27-50

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 12

John 12.27-50
Jesus is a prophet like Isaiah and Jeremiah. He forthtold, that is, he warned the people about their sins and their need to turn back to God. he also foretold, He predicted the future. In this passage, He predicted he would die and rose from the dead. He gave the illustration of a kernel of wheat.



The Jews continued in their unbelief even when they heard what Jesus said and saw the miracles that Jesus did. This was to fulfil what Isaiah the prophet said in Isaiah 53.1; Isaiah 6.10. Verse 46 is a verse worth medidtating on: I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

Today's Reading John 12.1-26

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 12

John 12.1-8; Matthew 26.6-13; Mark `4.3-9; Luke 7.37-39 Jesus was anointed at Bethany with an expensive jar of perfume. We should not judge a person's motive when they give sacrificially to the Lord.

John 12.12-15; Matthew 21.4-9; Mark 11.7-10; Luke 19.35-38
Jesus came in Jerisalem on Palm Sunday riding on a colt fulfilling the prophecy in Zechariah 9.9. He came in as the Messiah not what the Jews as expected. He came in as a Lamb not as a Lion!
