John 3:24

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3. 24 . for John  had not yet been put in prison 

John Came into this world and he was given two specific tasks to do in his life. The first one, prepare the way for the Messiah. He preached the kingdom of God and prepared, the hearts of people to receive Jesus. Who was coming soon. Second the next task was to introduce Jesus to the world as Messiah. He said pointing to Jesus Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of this world. John 1 29. John the writer of this gospel was saying that the ministry of John was about to conclude because he is going to be put into prison.

Mark's 6th chapter 14 to 29 explains why John the Baptist was imprisoned and how we died a martyr's death. Herod had married his brother Philip's wife and John had been saying to him It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife. So he put him in prison Haradise, wife of Herod  Had a grudge against John and wanted to put him to death. Herod on his birthday gave a bonquit for the Lords and the military commander and the leading men of Galilee. And when the daughter of herodice herself came in and danced, she pleased Harod and all the guests and Harod said to their girl ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you

On the advice of her mother she asked for the head of John the Baptist and John the Baptist was  beheaded in the prison and his head was given to her on a platter. What a cruel thing. Man who preached about Jesus. Who was a witness to Jesus. He was had to die a cruel death. 

Prayer 

Let us pray. Heavenly Father I thank you for this day o God. Master,  We see the great things in the life of John, the Baptist Lord who Came into this world to prepare a way for you and he died as a martyr and he Lord pointed out to you as Which will take the sins of this world.

I pray this morning o Father, Committing this day to your hands. So master that you will give us the grace to stand against every evil o father. Bless your people, Lord, to preach the gospel. Lord, we give you all glory to you. We thank you. Bless this day in Jesus name.

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter and verses one and two. We are studying from the fourth chapter of John from today. Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees have heard that Jesus was baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples. In this verse we again see about baptism Jesus and his disciples along with John was baptizing in the same place. It is not written whether Jesus and his disciples followed the baptism of John. We do not know. The difference between John's baptism and the Christian baptism is given clearly in the Bible. In Acts 19:3,4, we read " 'Unto what where you baptized?' And they said 'unto John's baptism' . Then Paul said, 'John verily, baptized with the baptism of repentance saying unto the people they that they should believe on Jesus Christ who is to come after him' ". John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of...

It was called the city of Sheikhim.  Jacob says he had given Joseph one portion above his brother. In Genesis 50:25. Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here. We see the hope and the confidence Joseph had that Israel People will go back to their land which happened through the hand of Moses. Joseph knew the promise that God had made to Abraham to Isaac and to his father, Jacob, Concerning the land of Canon...
