John 6:2

​Praise the lord today's verses from John 6 verse 2

 “And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.”

‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

 It becomes clear that enumerous crowds and searching enthusiasm are not always evidence of spiritual validity. One of the main reasons people were following Jesus is that he was performing many miracles. 
It is impossible for us to comprehend or realise the magnitude of this miracles, and what must have happened at these meetings, to think of blind eyes instantly being opened, with lepers instantly cleansed, and all manners of diseases instantly healed must have brought a joy unparallelled in the history of humanity. 

 So we might describe many of this large crowd may be disciples. However, as the story unfolds, we see soon that the crowd who followed him did not obey his command to count the cost and follow him. 
In the later part of this chapter in verse 66 we read “After this, many of the disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. Jesus made it clear in Mark 8:3435. If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me, for whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel will save it. 

 Some few people perhaps were in doubt, and surprise, wondering whether he who wrought such miracles could probably be the Messiah. 

The great majority probably followed from a vague, idle curiosity and love of excitement, which are the principles that gather nearly every crowd in this world. 

A faith founded on miracles is never as pleasing to God as that which is founded on is Word alone. 
God's Word should require no miracle to verify it. His word is true. 

Are you reading is Word? 
Are you believing His Word? John called Jesus miracles as sign because they were meant to function as fingers pointing people to the divine power behind the miracles, ultimately to the power of God and to the Messiah Jesus Christ 

If you are hearing this message, and you still not receive Jesus as your personal Saviour, has your life been changed? 

Prayer 

Let us look to God today in prayer. 
Our heavenly Father, I thank you for this day, O God. Thank you for giving us your grace to know that you are the saviour of the world. Lord, we commit our lives to you, in Jesus name we pray.

English John 4:5

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...

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...
