John 4:39

Today's verse is from John 4, 39.  Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony. He told me all that I ever did.  The Samaritan woman's testimony was very simple at this testimony had brought many to Christ. She had not been expert in sharing the gospel, or she was not a scholar in the Bible but she just told them. He told me all that I ever did. The blind man also Chapter 9 of John was healed by Jesus just said. One thing I do know I was blind, but now I see.  Your story of how Jesus had transformed your life is one of the most powerful tools you have in sharing your faith. Revelation 12:11 declares they triumphed by the blood of the lamb and the world of their testimony. Sharing your testimony is not about being perfect, but it is about the authenticity. Your testimony doesn't have to be dramatic to be impactful. Perhaps, Jesus brought peace during a difficult season helped you to overcome fear or give you a new sense of purpose. T...

John 4:37,38

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 37, and 38  For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”  One Sows, and another reeps proclaims that God has a special Ministry for each individual, whether it is small or big, However, that Ministry must fit into the plan of God. Paul says in First Corinthians 3, 6, I have planted,  Apollo's watered, but God gave the increase. Here, Paul says Evangelism is a teamwork, so whatever you do for God, it is God who brings it to completion. So never lose heart. Do the work of God speak the word of God. I have sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Jesus is explaining to his disciples, and in that matter, to all of us that whatever is done for the cause of Christ is brought to completion as a result of much labor on the part of many different people, many are unaware of the input of others. A...

John 4:36

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4:36, already.  John 4:36 ESV Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.  Here, Jesus is saying about the rewards we receive for doing God's work. When we bring souls to the kingdom of God, we are truly rewarded. Their God's reward starts immediately. They have the satisfication and the joy of bringing a soul to Jesus. It is also the deep love we have for those people whom we have brought to Christ. When we bring people to Jesus, we not only receive the reward in this world, but also in the world to come. In heaven, we have a great reward, Daniel. 12:3. Those who are wise will shine like brightness of the Heavenly expanse and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. First Peter 5:4 and when the chief Shepherd Jesus appears, you will receive the Crown of Glory that will not fade away. Revelation 22:12 Jesus is saying...

John 4:35

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 35.  Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.   Here, Jesus is comparing the agricultural terms of harvest to the Harvest of souls, that is, people turning to the Lord. In Israel, there was a period of about four months between the end of sowing season and the beginning of the Harvest. Jesus was saying that they need not wait so long. At that time, and in that place, a harvest was there for the reaping he was referring to the readiness of the Samaritans and others to believe in him when they heard the truth. We see in verse 39 many of the Samaritans of that City believed in him because of the word of the woman. In our time too, there is always a harvest ready somewhere always people prepared by God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ. God's servants should seek for them with Zeal and confidence in God. 2000 years from ...

John 4:34

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4, 34.  Jesus said to them, my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to his work. Even though physical bread definitely is necessary. It is the spiritual need, which really counts. Tragically, this is reversed even in the lives of most Believers. Too much attention is paid on the physical bread and not on the spiritual bread. Are you spending time in the presence of God reading the word of God, which is our spiritual food. Next, we see to do the will of God.  The will of God is the single, most important thing in the world. There is definitely a will for the entirety of the world, and there is a definite will for each individual believer. Nothing happens by chance in the life of a Believer. God has a definite place purpose and position for every single believer. When a Believer as a proper relationship with God you will know God's will, for his life, God will talk to us. God will clearly speak to us His will for our life. Bec...

John 4:33

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 33,  so the disciples said to one another. Has anyone brought him something to eat?  Here, disciples were only thinking in carnal terms, whereas Jesus spoke almost exclusively in spiritual terms. No, no one has brought him any physical food to eat, but the Holy Spirit has brought him a spiritual meal. Are we looking to the Lord to supply our needs or to men? That is why Jesus taught us to pray in the Lord's Prayer. Give us this day, our daily bread. A baby or a infant is dependent on his parents for everything for food, clothing, and shelter. So, are we dependent on God for all our needs? So this petition deals with the needs of our physical frame. Greek word translated as bread not only represents food, but is also symbolic of all our physical needs. To Martin Luther everything necessary for the preservation of life is bread and includes food, healthy body, good weather, house, wife, children, and a good government and peace. Her...

John 4:31,32

Praise the Lord.  Today's verse is from John 4, 31, and 32. Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him saying Rabbi eat. But he said to them, I have food to eat that you do not know about.  When the disciples arrived from the market after buying food, Jesus was finishing his conversation with the Samaritan woman, and she left to go to the town in order to spread the good news. The disciples are parallaxed, at Jesus, dealing with her, but eventually when he seemed to express no appetite for the food which they have brought. They were urging him to eat out of concern for his health. That had come a long way. And they had to go a long way. And they knew that Jesus needed strength for the journey.  When Jesus had fasted for 40 days without food, Satan came to him and said, if you are the Son of God, command that these Stones become bread. Jesus answered and said, it is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but By every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God". Food is...

John 4:30

 Today's verse is from John 4, 30.  They went out of the town and were coming to him.  The Samaritans came out of the town to come to Jesus. In John 4, 4, we see that he had to pass through Samaria. And now we know why Jesus has to go through Samaria, the Holy Spirit, knew that they were hungry Hearts in Samaria, who had to come to Christ. Today, also, there are many hungry hearts in the world who need Jesus, but there is no one to tell them about Jesus and to bring them to the gospel. Will you be that person to bring them to Jesus Christ? The Christian Life is based on the twin pillars of Discovery and communication. Discovery of Salvation in Christ Jesus and the communication of the good news of the Gospel. No Discovery is complete until the desire to share it fills our heart, and we cannot communicate Christ to others until we have discovered him for ourselves. We are living in a trouble some days, with great needs worldwide, regardless of the country or place. The nee...

John 4:29

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4, 29.  Come see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ? The word come is the greatest evidence of all that this woman had received  "Salvation'. When a person receives salvation, they hungrily desire to bring others to Christ. The glory of the Salvation is not obvious unless one has accepted Christ. When this happens and suddenly the glory appears and the first desire is that others should know this as well. Come see a man who told me all that I ever did is once again the epicenter of true Bible Christianity. Christianity is not a philosophy, nor a religion. It is really as stated a man, the man, Jesus Christ. Whether Jesus told her everything or not, we do not know. However, he told her enough that she was thoroughly convinced as to who and what he actually was. This is what makes Christianity so different than the religions of the world. All religions have to do is with the externals only. Here we see an...

John 4:28

Praise The Lord today's verse is from John 4:28.  So, the woman left her  water jar and went away into the town and said to the people come. Here we see the excitement of the woman, Who found Jesus see forgot the purpose she had come there, and she left the  water jar and went away into the town and said to the people come. So she became the first evangelist, the preacher of the Gospel to the Gentile Nations. And so effective was her preaching, We see that it caused a Revival. She had received the Living Water that is salvation. And then she said about this to others. God has created us with a purpose. God purpose for creating us was to share all he had, with us and he is with us. This is the pattern of. Personal evangelism, sharing what we have. God sent Jesus with a mission and with power and authority. He send him to the people not to condemn or to judge, But to set people free. This is the mission Christ has passed on to us. You and I are God's Messengers like this S...

John 4:27

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 27.  Just then, his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, what do you seek, or why are you talking with her?  Here, we see that the disciples came back from the town where they had gone to purchase food. The marveled that he was talking to a woman. The Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans. The rabies did not Converse with a woman in public or instruct them in the law in the public. Actually, this was one of the reasons that the Pharisees and the ruling hierarchy of Israel hated Jesus because he Completely ignored the man-made rules and obeyed the will of the father. Jesus lifted woman to their true position. They Ministered unto him with their substance. The shared his miraculous, healing power, the feeding and  the teaching. They anointed his feet with Ointment. The wept over his Agony when he was going to the Cross. They followed him to the cross. They were at this Sepulc...

Prayer for May month

Praise the Lord today! We have come to the new month of May. I want to pray for you. I want to give you this promise verse. In 22, 12, it says. And behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me to give to everyone according to his work. We are living in the last days. Jesus is coming soon, and what are we to do? First thing we need to live a holy life, pleasing him. The verse says in Hebrew 11, 6, but without faith, it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Yes, God is going to reward us for whatever we are doing. Whatever good things we are doing, God is going to reward us. Let's look to God,  second thing What we need to do is to tell others about Jesus because these are the last days. The time is short. And then in Revelation 19, 11 to 16, when we read. John sees Jesus coming, he says. Now, I saw Heavens open and behold a white horse, and he who sat on him was called ...

John 4:26

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 26.  Jesus said to her I, who speak to you, am he? Jesus declares himself to be the Messiah to this Samaritan woman. In John 9th chapter, we see Jesus revealing himself to that blind man who was healed by Jesus. And Jesus said, do you believe in the son of man and he answered, and who is he, so that I may believe in him, and Jesus said to him, you have seen him, and it is he who is speaking to you. Jesus did not show himself or declare himself to be the Messiah to the religious leaders, but to the poor people to the Blind and to the Samaritan woman, he declared "I am the Messiah". I am the son of man. It is the another word spoken about him, Told about Messiah, the son of man. But Peter knew that Jesus was the Messiah because he lived with him. Here we see in Matthew 16th chapter Verses 13 onward. Jesus asked the disciple who does people say that the son of man is?  They answered that they said different things, but again,...

John 4:25

Praise the Lord. Today's words is from. John 4th, chapter 25th verse. The woman said to him. I know that Messiah is coming. He who is called Christ when he comes he will declare all things to us. Messiah is a Hebrew word, and it means the anointed one. And the Greek word for Messiah is  Christos, from which Christ the english name comes. The Samaritans were waiting for the Messiah, so were the Jews. We see in Matthew 16th chapter Peter, declaring Jesus as the Messiah. Jesus asked his disciples, who do people say that the son of man is? They said different things. But then he asked this question to the disciples, he said to them. But what do you say that I am? And Simon, Peter, answered. You are the Christ, the son of living God. How did Peter know that Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, the son of the Living God. We have to see how it all started. John's gospel first chapter 35th on verse we see that John the Baptist introduced Jesus to his disciples and two of his disciples ...

John 4:24

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is. John 4, 24 God is spirit and those who worship Him must Worship in spirit and Truth. God is spirit does not mean that God is a wind or a vapor or a smoke.  John was taken up to heaven in Revelation 4th chapter. His description of God on the throne. And he who sat there had the appearance of Jasper and kermalim. And round the throne was a rainbow that had appearance of emerald. The elders fell down and worshiped him, saying, Worthy. Are you, our Lord, Our God. God is spirit means God is a spirit being. This indicates the attributes of God. The first attribute is, he is omnipotent. That is, God is all-powerful. He has the power to carry into effect  whatever God May Will. Second is, he is omniscient. He is all knowledgeable. All things part, past, present, or future is an open scroll to him. Hallelujah! Third He is omnipresent is present universally and simultaneously in every part of his wide domain. He is present  everywhere at all the t...

John 4:23b

Praise the lord we will continue to meditate on John 4:23, but the hour is coming and is now here when the true worshippers will worship the father in Spirit and truth for the father in seeking such people to worship him  when the true worshippers will worship the father in Spirit and in truth. How can we worship the father in Spirit and truth? Jesus said you shall love the lord your God with all your heart with all your soul with all your mind and with all your strength Mark, 12:32 love the father God with all that is  within us. We need to have a Fellowship with our god. This is only possible if you have the greatest gift of god, that is salvation. You should have accepted Jesus as your personal Savior knowing that Jesus was taken your sins on the cross and by repending from your sins you accept Jesus you make him as the lord and savior of your life. Worship must be in Spirit that is engaging the world heart. Unless there is a real passion for god there is no worship in ...

John 4:23a

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4, 23, but the hour is coming and is now here. When the true worshipers will worship the father. And truth for the father is seeking such people to worship him. We are going to meditate on the first part of this verse today. The hour is coming and is now here. This also said in verse 21, the hour is coming. Here, the time is emphasized. It is now here. Jesus is now here. And the things are about to change. Every single prophecy of the Old Testament. All the sacrifices along with the feast days, as well as the Tabernacle and the temple stood and all pointed out to one person, the Lord Jesus Christ. He was and is the Fulfillment of all these things and all were done for a purpose of opening up the way that the Holy Spirit would come down and dwell in the hearts and lives of Believers in a manner which would not be done previously. When Jesus died on Calvary thereby satisfying the claims of heavenly Justice and defeating Satan, as well as...

John 4:22

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4, 22.  You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know for the Salvation is from the Jews.  Jesus was telling her what was right and wrong? A Samaritan style of worship was wrong. It was that which God would not accept. Irrespective of how much time they worshiped or how much they used his name. The Samaritan worship was founded not on love, but on ignorance and fear. As we have seen when the foreign people were brought to dwell in Samaria, they brought their own gods with them second Kings 17:29. We read about it. We are told that a priest from Bethel came and told them how they should fear the lord second Kings 17:28. But all the probability is that they merely added Jehovah to their list of gods because they were superstitiously afraid to leave him. Irrespective of Israel's present black slidden condition and a departure from the true God, despite the continuing of the religious ceremonies and rituals still, that whic...

John 4:21

Praise the Lord! Verses John 4, 21. Jesus said to her, believe me the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. Will you worship the father?  Jesus says to the woman, believe me. Jesus is asking her to believe him. And he is also confirming a statement which he said, I perceive that you are a prophet Jesus saying, I am the prophet Moses has spoken about. In effect, he is also saying that he holds the answer. And rather than believing the arguing factions among the Samaritans and Jews, she was rather to believe him. Today, also argument rage over religion. However, the cry one criteria and one foundation and one principle, which must be heated, is the Lord Jesus Christ. When we stand before God. What the religions or denominations have said, or  the church have said, will not matter, but only what God Said will matter. So, Jesus says, believe me, Hallelujah. Jesus said the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the ...

John 4:20

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 20.  Our fathers worship on this mountain. But you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.  Our fathers worshiped in this mountain speaks of Mount Garrison. It was about 50 miles north of Jerusalem. A rival worship had been set up on this mountain. This Temple was built in 332 BC. Our Father speaks of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who worshiped and labored at Sheikkim, which was nearby. Mount Garasim was called the Mount of blessing. Deuteronomy 27:12. The phrase, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship. The Jews see that they have to worship on Mount Moriah. Mariah was the mountain on which Abraham took his son to offer him as a sacrifice and the temple, Solomon built was on this mountain. When Solomon built the temple, God promised Solomon. I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice and worship. 2 chronicles 7:12. Jesus ministered...

John 4:19

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4, 19.  So I perceive that you are a prophet. This verse, we see the belief of Samaritans about the Messiah. Samaritan accepted only the first five books of the Bible that did not accept the historical books or the wisdom books and the prophetical books. They derived their interpretation of the Messiah from. Deuteronomy 18, 15, which says the Lord, thy God, will rise up unto you, a prophet from the midst of you of thy Brethren, like unto me and him you shall listen  This search, definitely referring to the Messiah. They did not understand the Incarnation that believed that the Messiah would be a Samaritan. The Samaritans were looking for a prophet who would be a mere man. And the Jews were looking for the Messiah who they were thinking as the king, but it was a wrong type of King. They were looking for a king who would deliver them from the Roman Empire. The Samaritans, as they did not believe in the books or from Joshua to Malachi...

John 4:17,18

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4, 17, and 18.  The woman answered him. I have no husband. Jesus said to her, you are right in saying, I have no husband for you have had five husbands and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true. We see Jesus by the gift of the Holy spirit, reveals that she had six husbands. We do not know if she diversed the other husbands or if  some are dead. But Jesus clearly speaks about marriage, and divorce  in Mark 10 chapter. Some Pharisees came to Jesus and asked him. Is it lawful for a man to diverse his wife. Jesus answered, but from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this reason, man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. So then they are no longer two, but one flesh Therefore, what God has joined together Let not man separate. Whoever diverses his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. And if a w...

John 4:16

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is John 4, 16.  Jesus said to her, go call your husband and come here. The woman's sin is now now dwelt with. Hence, Jesus is telling her go, call thy husband. This is saying to the woman, go call your husband and come here, made her to think about her past life and a moral life. God has given every person a conscience to convict him when he sins. But if we excuse our sin and keep doing the same sin, our conscience no longer convicts us of that sin. The parable of the prodigal son. We see that he took his father's possession and went and lived a reckless life, but when a famine came in his life, the situation of his life convicted him. Today also situations in our life will convict us of our sins. Jesus says, when the Holy Spirit comes, he will convict us of our sins. Are we living in a life of sin today? We may be involved in many religious ceremonies, but what can really cleanse us from our sins? The Bible clearly tells us in first John 1, 7...

John 4:15

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 15.  The woman said to him, sir  give me this water so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water. Jesus spoke to her about the Living Water. The Holy Spirit takes them like an arrow to her heart and in a moment's time reveals to her the great need of her life, and as well as at least to a certain degree. What Jesus is actually saying? So, she asks Jesus, give me this water, this living water. The truth is this woman has thirsted all her life for the Living Water. Her immorality has not slackened this thirst, and neither did many husbands. As well as the religion of Samaritans gave no satification at all. Religion cannot satisfy this thirst, which is in us only Jesus can. In the Kasarcode District in a place called kolara, there are two people, one Peter, who is retired from BHEL and is 80 years old, another brother, Sebastian, who is 70 years old. Their families are in the U.S, but they stay here and go out to ...

John 4:14b

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is John 4, 14, the second part. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water. Welling up to eternal life? Jesus not only gives us salvation, but he forgives our sins, and he also gives us power to not to sin again. The water of Salvation becomes in us a spring of water. When a woman was caught in adultery, the Pharisees and others wanted to Stone her. When Jesus said, let the one who have not sinned thow the first stone, everyone left, and Jesus asked, have no one condemned you. She said, no one Lord. Jesus said, neither do I condemn you. And from now on, sin no more. The woman might have looked at him with the question, how will that be possible to live without sin? Jesus said to her, and to them, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life here. Jesus is saying when we follow him. We will not walk in darkness that is sin. This, we read in. John 8th chapter in the b...

John 4:14a

Today's verse, we will meditate on John 4, 14, the first part of it. But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. Hallelujah! We will see some of the great truths of these words. So, we will meditate on each word of this verse. The first word "but" it says what links the hope of this promise to their hopelessness of the previous statement? The previous statement says everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again. It Compares with this physical water to the spiritual water. Why then, all the world did not receive the spiritual drink. The answer is simple man do not want to give up their sin, and they are deceived into believing that by coming to Christ, they will lose their pleasure and gain nothing. They do not realize that they will lose nothing and gain everything.  The next word, whosoever says, all are lost, therefore, all can be saved. None are excluded. When Jesus died on Calvary, he died for all the mankind, and for al...

English John 4:13

 Today's verse is from John 4:13. Jesus said to her, everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again. Jesus answered and said to her Jesus is presenting himself slowly, leading her to the meaning of this great spiritual truth. As Nicodomas in the previous chapter was led to the spiritual truth of being born again. Jesus is leading this Samaritan woman to the spiritual truth of Living Water or the need of Salvation in a life. Nicodomas was highly moral, and this Samaritan was grossly immoral yet there was no difference between them. Both needing the cleansing and salvation of Jesus. You may be very religious, but you need Jesus in your life for your salvation. To Nicodemus, the religious leader Jesus says. You must be born again, but to The Sinner, he slowly leads her to the need of Salvation or the Living Water in her life. Verse, 14 says, But whatever, whoever drinks of this water that I give him give him shall never thirst. Whosoever drinks of this water will be thir...

English John 4:12

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 12. Are you greater than our Father? Jacob He gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and did his sons and his livestock. We observe the claims of the Samaritans, to be the descendant of Abraham, the son of Joseph and actually of Jacob himself who have dug the well. Jacob always seems to be running from someone or something, from Essu his brother, who wanted to kill him, then from Laban, his father-in-law. And from the famine in Canaan, he flew to Egypt with his family. When he was fleeing from Essu, he saw in a vision a ladder and in a vision the Majesty and the glory of God. At Bethel, when he saw God, he worshiped God and he made a wow to take  Yahweh as his God at paniel, while he was returning back from the his father-in-law Leban, Jacob ressuled face to face with God, he taught him the value of continued prayer from one who is helpless Jacob emerged from paniel, willing to let his life fall into God's control. He was woun...

English John 4:11

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 11 the woman said to him sir you have nothing to draw water with and the well is deep. Where do you get the living water?  Jesus was speaking of spiritual things, but the woman was thinking in material terms, In chapter 3 of John. We saw Jesus speaking to Nicodemus of born again experience and he took it in the material sense. Nicodemus asked "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Hallelujah. Usually The Travelers in those days used to carry a bucket and a rope to draw water, but the woman says, you don't have anything to draw water. Then she asks, Jesus, these questions, where do you get the living water man? Today, also, millions are asking where do you get the living water? They might not ask the same question. They might be asking, where do I get mukti? Where did I get Shanti? in fact they are asking where do I get salvation? Or they are saying, what ...

English John 4:10

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is John 4, 10, Jesus answered her. If you knew the gift of God, And who it is that is saying to you give me a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living Waters. Hallelujah. What is the gift of God to men. It is the salvation of our soul by which we have the eternal life. Romans 6 23 says the wages of sin is death. That is the Eternal superation from God. But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ. Jesus, our lord. This gift is a free gift to us, but for Jesus, he had to pay a costly prize. 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV [18] knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, [19] but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  Jesus is saying to the woman if you knew who it is, that is saying to you to give me a drink. At that time, she did not know who Jesus was though later she knew. In John 1 1, it says, in ...

English John 4:8

 Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 :8 For his disciples who had gone away into the city to buy food. The disciples of Jesus had gone to the Samaritan City to buy food. Something is beginning to happen to them before they had met Jesus It was entirely unlikely that they would talk to a Samaritan, but today they have gone to buy food from the Samaritans Market. There was a change in the disciple. The barrier of cast is going down today. We see the lives of millions changed when they had come to Jesus. People who had being addiction to alcohol and even to drugs, have changed their lives. 2 Corinthians 5:18 says. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, the new has come all.  Have your life being changed by Jesus today? Isaiah 43 18 and 19, says, do not remember the former things or consider the things of old, see I will do a new thing now It will spring forth. Ezekiel 11:19 I will give them a new heart and I wil...

English John 4:9

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is John 4 9. The Samaritan woman said to him. How is it that you a Jew? Ask for a drink from me a woman of Samaria. For the Jews had no dealings with Samaritans.  This Samaritan woman was astonished to have a Jew asking for water from her because she was a woman and also, she is a Samaritan. The Jews have no dealings with Samaritans, this we have already discussed about it. At first, to this woman, Jesus was simply a thirsty Jew, asking her for water, but as the story unfolds, we see her understanding of who this is developing. First, as the one who makes great promises Jesus promised her the Living Water. Then she acknowledges him as a prophet in verse 19. It says I perceive that you are a prophet. And finally, she knew him as the Messiah, the savior, the savior of this world, the Redeemer of this world and that is in verse 25, 26 and 29.

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...

Jesus, the creator of universe and the judge of all, man meets one of the wildest of Sinners. But he is there not to condemn her but to seek and to save her. We see Jesus as the barrier Breaker. As we have seen before the Jews, hate the Samaritans, the Jewish Samaritan. Quarrel  had been for more than 400 years. The Samaritan woman was astonished that Jesus a Jew should speak to her a Samaritan. But there is still another way in which Jesus was tearing down the barriers.This Samaritan was a woman, a strict Rabbi was forbidden to greet a woman in public. He might not even speak to his own wife or his daughter or his sister in public. To be seen speaking to a woman in public, was the end of his reputation? And, Jesus spoke to the woman. Not only the she was a woman but she was a woman of notorious character. And Jesus spoke to her. Here was Jesus breaking thr...

Jesus was varied because of his journey as it was the sixth hour sixth hour is 12 noon according to our time because Jewish time starts at 6:00, am in the morning. Jesus, sat by the side of the Well, exhausted by the journey.

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 4:3,4

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 verse 3 and 4. He left Judea and departed again for Galilee and he had to pass through Samaria. Jesus departed from Judea, which was the south of Israel and departed to Galilee. And Samaria was in between Judea and Galilee. And he had to pass through Samaria to understand this, We had to know the background of Samaria. The Jews did not consider the Samaritans to be true Israelitis. But rather a mixture of Gentiles and Jews, which was unacceptable. Consequently, there is a tremendous rivalry between these people with a greater amount seeming to be in the part of Jews, and the Jews hated the Samaritans. Israel was divided as Southern Kingdom, which is Judea and Northern Kingdom, which was Israel after the King Solomon. The origin of Samaritans came about after the defeat of the northern kingdom of Israel by the Asrayan Empire. We read about it in second Kings 17th chapter with the Gentiles, taking many Jews captive, at that time, and with...
