Follow along as I read through the Bible in One Year and make a daily comment!
“And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting,”” Acts 9:5 In Today’s Verse, we have the words of a Proud Pharisee who had just met his match. The conversion of Saul is one of the greatest moments in Church History! After assenting to the stoning of […]
“As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.” Acts 5:15 Today’s Verse comes at the height of the Jerusalem Revival. Peter’s role has become so Christ-like that his “shadow” falling
“Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19 Today’s Verse is from the 2nd sermon that Peter has given so far in the Book of Acts; and, on both occasions, he gives Similar Instruction. When
“So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?”” John 21:21 In this last chapter of John, we have a conversation between Peter and Jesus that deserves comment. Peter has just been admonished three times to Care for the Sheep. Jesus has kindly and patiently asked him “Do you love Me?”,
“These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.” John 16:1 As I mentioned in Yesterday’s Post, John Chapters 14-17 are called the “Farewell Discourse”. Today’s Verse appears quite appropriately in the “center” of this Discourse. Jesus knew what Trials and Tribulations the Disciples would face in the Hours
“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.” John 15:2 John, Chapters 14-17 are called the “Farewell Discourse”. Here we have recorded the Words Jesus spoke to His Disciples right after the Last Supper and
“for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.” John 12:43 We’re told in Verse 37 “But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him”. The next two explain, this was in fulfillment of what Isaiah had written; how God had “blinded their
“Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.”” John 7:37 We all know what it is to be thirsty; the desire and need to drink. Just as Jesus used this metaphor with the Samaritan Woman,
“Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”” John 4:13-14 I read a
“All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” John 1:3 As we begin with John’s Gospel today, just a quick note. “It” is unlike any of the other Gospels. It does contain some of the same stories and teachings as Matthew, Mark, and
