John 4:45
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 Tabernacle. So, these galileans had gone to Jerusalem, seen what Jesus have done, and they welcomed him. The words he spoke and the Deeds he did were arguments to which there is no answer. Here, we have one of the great truths of the Christian Life, the only real argument for Christianity is the Christian experience.
Today, I can say, I know what Jesus is like, and I know what Jesus can do because I have experienced it. My life has changed. I have experienced countless miracles in my life if I can only say to you try him and see what he can do for you.
There is little use in telling people that Christ will bring them joy and peace and power, If you are not having that joy and peace in your life. Christianity is an experience. The experience with Jesus in our life, let us look to God in prayer.
Prayer
Heavenly Father. I thank you for this morning hour O God. Thank you, Lord, that you gave us the experience of Jesus, Lord. We are not just following something blind, but we have experienced Jesus in our life. We thank you for that Heavenly Father. We commit ourselves to your hands in Jesus name, I pray. Amen. God bless you.
