John 9:25 - He then answered, "Whether He is a sinner I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind now I see."
TRUTH:
This man had been healed by Jesus and was called to give an account of what happened. Witnessing is simply about sharing our experience with Jesus Christ. When God works in our lives, do we share what has happened with those we are around?
RESPONSE:
Lord, thank You for the witness of this man. Thank You for working in my life; I give You all praise!
CHAPTER 8
John 8:12 - Then Jesus again spoke to them saying "I am the Light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in the darkness but will have the Light of Life."
TRUTH:
Jesus is the light. Not just any light, the Light of Life. Do we feel like we are stumbling around in darkness throughout our day? Follow the Light in all that we do!
RESPONSE:
Lord, You bring Light to the path. Help me to follow You step by step along Your way.
CHAPTER 7
John 7:18__He who speaks for himself seeks his own glory, but he who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
TRUTH:
When we speak, our words reveal a lot about ourselves and our motives. If we are seeking God's will and His glory, then our words will be a direct reflection of those motives. If not, then our words will betray us.
RESPONSE:
Lord, I pray that You will help me surrender any motives that are not glorifying to You, then allow me to speak the words that praise and exalt You.
CHAPTER # 6
John 6:6__This He was saying to test him for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.
TRUTH:
When we're confronted with crisis, God offers us the opportunity to trust Him and have faith. In this situation, and in all others, Jesus knew what He was going to do, but He gave the disciples an opportunity to trust in Him and grow in their relationship with Him.
RESPONSE:
Lord, help me to trust You even though the hard times when I don't see an answer. I know You already know what You are intending to do.
CHAPTER # 5
John 5:19__Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself unless it is something He sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner."
TRUTH:
Jesus is God, yet He states that He can do nothing but what God the Father has for Him. If Jesus can do nothing without God, how much more does that apply to us! Do we allow Jesus to live through us so that everything we do is done by God?
RESPONSE:
Lord, take my life. Help me to decrease and for You to increase so that I, too, do nothing of myself.
CHAPTER # 4
John 4:42__and they were saying to the woman, "it is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world."
CHAPTER # 3
John 3:36__He who believes in the Son has eternal life, who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
TRUTH:
God's Son Jesus makes the way for us to receive the gift of eternal life. The Lord is very clear that this is the only way to receive this gift. If someone does not believe and obey, then they have God's wrath. Have we received this gift? Have we shared it with others?
RESPONSE:
Lord thank You for Your amazing gift! Help me to share this amazing gift with everyone I meet.
CHAPTER # 2
John 2:5__His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."
TRUTH:
In this circumstance, Mary knew that Jesus would have the answer, but it might not make sense to the servants. Jesus has the answer to every one of our circumstances, but answers don't always make sense to us at first. Do we trust Him enough to do whatever He says to do?
RESPONSE:
Lord, I don't need to have all the answers. Help me trust and do all that You have for me to do.
CHAPTER # 1
# 1 > JOHN 1:17 - For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
TRUTH
Moses was given the Law to allow us to see God's standard of perfection. If we compare ourselves to the law, none of us measure up. Jesus Christ came in truth; the truth that allowed Him to fulfill God's standard of perfection. He also came in grace; the grace that offers to share that truth with those of us who would submit our lives to Him.
RESPONSE:
Lord Your grace is amazing and Your truth is perfection. Thank You for taking my imperfection and giving me Your grace!
