Follow along as I read through the Bible in One Year and make a daily comment!
“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
“And He said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;”” Luke 21:3 In the opening of Chapter 21, we’re introduced to this story where Jesus makes an observation; “And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury”. Then we’re told, “He saw
“But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’” Luke 18:13 This is one of my favorite stories in the Bible, and also, the 1st passage I ever preached on. In it, we
“Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him.” Luke 15:1 The entire Chapter of Luke 15 is made up of 3 Parables; the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Lost Son (also known as The Prodigal Son). If you remember from a previous Chapter, and in
“But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.” Luke 12:5 Absolutely Devastating! Those are the words I must use from my Bible Reading this morning. This Verse is part of it, but
“When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases,” Luke 9:1 As I’ve mentioned before, these Posts are from my daily Bible Reading. This is where I started today in Luke, where Jesus commissions the 12 to go throughout Israel, preaching and
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” Luke 6:46 As you read through the Gospels, one thing that strikes you is how similar, and yet different, the stories are that they contain. Some are very much alike, almost verbatim! Others, like this one, are in many ways different.
