Jesus is alive

 Today's verse is John 4, 48, so Jesus said to him. Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.  This man did not believe when he came to him. That is why Jesus says to him unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe, but after God gave him the promise, he believed in him, and he went to his house. 00:32 Jesus had a way of making sure that a person has earnest desire. If he had gone back or was too proud to accept a rebuke, Jesus would have known that his faith was not real. When Elisha  asked Syrian Commander to dip himself in the Jordan River seven times to be cleansed of his lepercy, He turned back but his servant, who advised him to do so, and  He dipped himself in Jordan for seven times, and he was healed. We read it in second Kings fifth chapter. When a Canaanite woman came to Jesus for the healing of a demon possessed daughter, Jesus told her, it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs. But she did not go back,...

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 46,47 John 4:46-47 ESV [46] So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. [47] When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Today, we see the ministry of Jesus in Galilee. He had come to Cana were he had made water into wine. Here. A official of Capernaum came to Jesus. It is about 20 miles, he came there. The Greek word for the official translated is basilicos, Which is translated as an officer or a prince or one of the royal family. And the commentary says that he may be an officer of Herod, antipas Tetra of Galilee. Many great people came to see Jesus in John 3rd chapter. Nicodemus came to Jesus. He was a member of the Senadrin, the ruling party of the Jews. In Mark 5th chapter, we see Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, came to Jesus as his...

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 45.  So, when he came to Galilee, the galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Feast, for they too had gone to the feast.  Yes, Jesus was there in the feast, and he had done great things, Miracles there. The people of Galilee were there, and they saw. The Samaritans believed in Jesus, not because of someone's else story, but because they have heard him speak things. The like of which they had never heard. The galileans believed in him, not because someone has told them about him, but because they have seen him do in Jerusalem, things the like of which they have not, or never seen. The galileans had gone to Jerusalem because it is commanded in Deuteronomy 16:16, that three times in a year all thier males must appear before the Lord thier God in the place which he chose, that is the temple in Jerusalem. At the Feast of the unleavened bread and at the Feast of weeks and at the Feast of the Tabernac...

Today's verse is from John 4, 43, and 44.  After two days, he departed from Galilee. For, Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own Hometown. Jesus was in Samaria for two days and preached the gospel. There would have been great joy in the town. After Jesus, it was Philip, who went to Samaria. In Acts 8:5-8 we see [5] Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. [6] And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs that he did. [7] For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. [8] So there was much joy in that city. There is Joy in a city where the gospel is preached. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Philip, preached the gospel signs and wonders happed, the Samaritans believed, and they were baptized in water, and later they received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah! Jesus tes...

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 42.  They said to the woman. It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves. We know that this is indeed the savior of the world.  The Samaritans are saying to the woman that it is no longer your testimony that made us to believe in Christ, but we have heard him. We have believed in him. We have had a personal experience. That is to say, we have tasted him in our life. The Bible says. In Psalms 34;8, O taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man that trusts in him.  We may have heard about Jesus, but have you received him as your personal savior in your life? This is a personal experience. This is one of the performed statement ever made that Jesus is the savior of the world. It came from the lips of the Samaritans. It is only in 1st John 4, 14. We find this tremendous title it says we have seen and testified that the father has sent his son to be the savior of the world....

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4:40-41  [40] So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. [41] And many more believed because of his word.  A group of Samaritans came to Jesus. There had been so convinced by the testimony of the Samaritan woman and the Glorious change in her life, so they decided to see it for themselves and came to Jesus and asked Jesus to stay with them for two days. This is a beautiful moment in the ministry of Jesus, because much of the time he was rejected by the Jews and the Pharisees. The hostility on the part of the Jews have already started, and this would just increase from this point forward until the day he would be crucified. He stayed with them in the Samaritan town for two days. No Jews. Would do that because their heart was ruled by hatred towards the Samaritans. But Jesus heart was ruled by the love towards the lost. One thing was sure, this two days was the greatest time tha...
