John 3:31



Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3:31.

 He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all. 

 He who comes from above is above all refers to the fact that Messiah was not a mere man, but rather had his origin in heaven.

He had equality with the father and the Holy Spirit before becoming a man, but he had become limited while being a man. At the time of Resurrection his full Glory was restored. The phrase he that is of the earth is Earthly and speaks in an Earthly way, refers to all, man. Even the great prophets are all Limited in their life. The phrase he who comes from above is, above all, Places Christ in a category above all men. The Jews it seems were attempting to make Jesus as no more than another Prophet or a mere man. While he certainly was a man above all he was at the same time God therefore above all this they did not believe nor recognize.

If we want informations about heaven and Heaven's life, we will get it only from him who comes  from Heaven. Luke 16:19-31 Jesus speaks about the story of the rich man and Lazarus where he explains clearly about heaven and Hell. In Revelation chapter 4, John was taken up to heaven and he sees the throne room of God and explains it clearly.

Today. Do we have the hope of one day we will be in heaven, If we have that hope in our heart and know that one day we will be with Jesus, all these things in the world will grow dim and it is, we need to live a life with the hope that we are going to go to heaven.

Do we have that hope? 

Prayer 

Heavenly Father, thank you, Lord you came from Heaven so that one day we will be with you. We thank you for that hope  That one day we will be with you. We commit our lives into your hands. Oh God. If we don't have that hope. I pray today we will commit ourselves to you. O God and live for you. We give all glory to you in Jesus name I pray. Amen. Amen.

John 4:1,2

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...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 5. As he came to the town of Samaria. Called psychar near the field that Jacob had given to his son, Joseph. Hallelujah. In this verse, we see that John the author of this book, had an accurate knowledge of the land of Israel, And also he knew the history of that land. In Genesis 33 19. We see that when Jacob came back to the land of Israel from the house of Leban his father in law, he brought This place For a hundred pieces of silver. 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...
