John 6:3,4

Praise the Lord today's verse is from John 6 chapter verse three and four 

Jesus went up to the mountain and there he sat down with his disciples. Now the passover, the feast of the Jews was at hand. 

Jesus went up to the mountain, seems to express a desire for solitude. However, the crowd found them and gathered there. 

Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews was at hand. This is the second passover mentioned in the book of John. The first was in John 2:13, when Jesus was in the temple, where he drove out the people selling oxen, sheep, and pigeons in the temple 

In John 6:4, this would have been the second passover mentioned in John’s gospel and therefore the completion of the second year of Jesus ministry. 

The third passover was written in John 1:21. This Passover was the crucification of Jesus in Jerusalem, when Jesus became the Passover lamb.

 The Jewish Passover is the celebration of the exodus from Egypt. The The celebration was the slaughter of a lamb in each household, which they ate it. In John's gospel, Jesus is the lamp of God.. Passover is also associated with God's sustenance of Israel in the wilderness. We see in the chapter, Jesus will sustain the multitude in the small wilderness with the bread from heaven, both literally and spiritually. 

 John is the only one one of the four gospel writers who told us that this event took place in the time of the Passover. 

 Passover is the celebration of the Israel people being delivered from the slavery of Egypt. The Jews remembered the night of Deliverance when they slaughtered the Passover lamp and applied the blood on the lintel and the doorpost and then the death angel passed over them, but the first born in every Egyptian house was killed. 

 Today we can celebrate because Jesus has delivered us from the slavery of sin. Have you been delivered from sin? 

Prayer

Let us pray. Heavenly Father, I thank you that you have delivered us from sin because Jesus became the Passover lamb. We commit ourselves into your hands of God. We thank you, we praise you. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen. God bless you.

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...

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...
