John 3:10



Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3, 10. 

Jesus answered him. Are you the teacher of Israel? And at you, do not understand these things. 

Jesus says, you are the teacher or a master of Israel, which means that Nicodemus was held in a very high regard as he was looked upon even in a more Superior light than just being a member of the sanadrin which  within itself was of the greatest privileges. Yet he knew the word of God so little that he really  did not know what it is to be saved. This is the tragedy of many in the world at this present day in fact, always had been. Israel at that time would have thought of this man as anything, but a spiritual gaint. This means that association with spiritual things, does not bring salvation. It also means participating in spiritual things or  rituals contains no Saving Grace.  Many Christians today profess salvation but in reality, not know the Lord and are completely lost. The question do you not understand These things? means that it should have  known the way of Salvation, but the sad fact is he didn't. 

He had the idea that being born a Jew. And therefore being a good Jew, a child of Abraham, Constituted Salvation. Nicodomos did not allow the the word of God to be a mirror as it was intended to be. Consequently, the Holy Spirit had little opportunity to speak to his heart. Today, let us look into ourselves. Are we saved? Have we taken the word of God Meditated on it and committed Our Lives to Christ. This is the question to us today.

Prayer 

 Let us pray Heavenly Father. I thank you Lord. We know Master many times we think that we are something great but Lord, we know that only you when the Holy Spirit comes in us that you will change our lives. I commit myself once again to your hands in Jesus name I pray. Amen. God bless you.

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...
