Jesus is alive

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4, 6.  Jacob's, well was there, So Jesus waried as he was from his journey was sitting beside the well, it was about the sixth hour.  Jacob's. Well, was there, there is no reference in the Old Testament about this Well, Even today, this place and the well is a pilgrim spot in the Palestine city of neblus in the West Bank. The well currently situated inside an Eastern Orthodox Church and a monastery. Jesus was waried 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. It was very significant that John who stresses the deity of Jesus Christ more than any other. The gospel writers also stresses the humanity to the fullness. Does not show us a figure freed from the tirelessness and the struggles of humanity. Jesus was God, but at the same time, human. He was thirsty. H...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 5. As he came to the town of Samaria. Called sychar 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 uncle, he brought This place for a hundred pieces of silver. It was called the city of Sheikhim. In Genesis 48:22. Jacob says he had given Joseph one portion above all 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 ...

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 Assrian Empire. We read about it in second Kings 17th chapter with the Gentiles, taking many Jews captive, at that t...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter verses one and two we have started the fourth chapter 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 and 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 To come after him. John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of their sins and were baptized to show that they were repented. Je...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3:36.  Whoever believes in the son has eternal life. Whoever does not obey the son shall not see life but the wrath of God remains in him.  What a beautiful promise. And also, we see that it also says about the condemnation of those who does not believe in Jesus. The message was told by John the Baptist. Jesus also said the same thing in John 3 16 whoever believes in him that is Jesus shall not perish but have eternal life. In verse 18, Jesus says, he who does not believe has been judged already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten, Son of God. Whoever does not obey the son shall not see life refers believing as far more than mere mental acceptance, but rather obedience as well. The life here addressed is the life of God, which is imparted to all True believers. Every person in the world knows in his heart, that there is a life after death. Some people call it as mukti or some say to attain Shanti ...
