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, 
In this question concerning Jacob we observe the claims of the Samaritans, to be the descendant of Abraham, the son of Isaac and actually of Jacob himself who have dug the well.
Jacob always seems to be running from someone or something, from Euso his brother, who wanted to kill him, then from Labon his father-in-law. And from the famine in Canaan, he flew to Egypt with his family. When he was fleeing from Esuo, 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 woke to take Yahweh as his God at panel, while he was returning back from the his father-in-law Leban Jacob Resseled 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 wounded, but Victorious. God gave him a crippled body but a strengthened Faith. It was a new Jacob with a new name, Israel. The woman asked, are you greater than our father Jacob? Yes, Jesus is greater than any Saints of the Old Testament and also the New Testament because he is the son of God. That is God himself. Today also many people worship the man of God Considering him to be greater than God in their life. This well was considered by the Samaritans to be holy and the water sacred. Today. Also many people consider a place of pilgrim holy and they go to those places. But Matthew 18, 20 says, but Jesus said that, where two or three are gathered in my name, I will be there, John 4, 23 says, but the hour is coming and is now here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth 
Prayer 
Let us pray. Heavenly Father.
I thank you, Lord that Jacob was an example to us. Lord, let our lives be like Jacob committing our life to a life of prayer. I pray, God that you will bless us and strengthen us. Oh, God help us. Lord, to know that. No one is greater than Jesus. I commit myself and each one of us into the hands of Jesus. We love you. We praise you. 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...
