TOPIC: Jesus Is The Saviour
OPENING PRAYER: Dear Lord, expose me to your truth as I read your word in Jesus name.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: JOHN 7:25-36
Question(s) for Reflection
• Q2: Is there any example for me to follow or not to follow?
• Q7: What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?
Notice the dilemma the ordinary Jews were facing in vs.25-26. We often fall into confusion when we fail to either study and understand the Word of God or listen to the message God is sending to us through His servants. For where the Christ was to be born, see Matthew 2:3-6 (cf. Micah 5:2).
Jesus made it clear that He is not only human but also divine (vs.28-29). There are people in church today who still doubt the divine nature of Christ. Such people are vulnerable vessels who oftentimes oppose the truth. Jesus is still testifying through His word that He is the Saviour and Lord (John 5:39-40). Accepting this truth is a matter of choice.
Read v.32 again; notice those who wanted to arrest Jesus. As church leaders, do we destroy young talents or encourage them to grow? Compare Acts 18:26.
Despite the controversies, many still believed in Jesus. Why? See v.31. These ones decided to stand for the truth despite the threat of persecution from the religious leaders. To overcome the darkness of unbelief in our society we must be ready to stand for the truth, possible persecution notwithstanding.
Practice/Word Application
What next? Stand for the truth. Your Christian testimony can help the faith of others (Matthew 5:14-16).
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Thank you, Lord, for opening my heart to know and accept you as my saviour. Help me to stand for and proclaim this truth to others.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with 1 Kings 5:4
