John 6:15


Praise the Lord! Today, scripture verse John 6:15:

"Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself."

John 6:15

At this moment, the crowds were electrified. They had seen His power and wanted to harness it to overthrow Rome, hoping to restore their nation to its former worldly glory. But Jesus did something unexpected: He walked away.


The Misunderstood Kingdom

The people wanted a political liberator; Jesus came as a spiritual Savior. Here are three vital truths we can learn from His withdrawal:

 * A Spiritual Reign: Jesus didn’t come the first time to sit on a physical throne in Jerusalem, but to reign in the human heart. He doesn't command a worldly army, yet thousands throughout history have been willing to die for Him because His kingdom is built on love and sacrifice.

 * The Priest Before the King: The crowd recognized Jesus as a Prophet and wanted Him as a King, but they skipped the most crucial office: The Priest. Before Jesus could be crowned in glory, He had to offer Himself as the final sacrifice for our sins.

 * Communion with his Father: Jesus chose the silence of the mountain and communion with His Father over the praises of the crowd. He would rather have the Father’s approval than the world’s fame.


Protecting the Disciples

Interestingly, Jesus "compelled" His disciples to get into a boat and leave. Why? Because He knew they were in danger of being swept up in the crowd’s momentum. Like us, the disciples were human—the allure of power and fame was a temptation Jesus needed to shield them from.


Is He Reigning in Your Heart?

The ultimate question for us today is not "Who is the king of the world?" but "Who is the king of your heart?"

Is sin reigning in your life, or is Jesus? We must learn to imitate His life—especially His prayer life—and recognize that He is our personal Savior before He is anything else.



A Prayer of Surrender

If you haven't yet accepted Him, today is the day to surrender.

Heavenly Father, we surrender our lives to Your kingship. We want to live for You and be a blessing in this world. Lord, forgive us our sins and come into our lives. We commit everything we are to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God bless you!

English John 4:5

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...
