TOPIC: Jesus Confirms His Deity

OPENING PRAYER: Dear Lord, I pray that you order my steps today through your word as I meditate on it.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: JOHN 10:31-42

Question(s) for Reflection
• Q 1: What does the passage teach about God the Father, or God the Son or God the Holy Spirit?
• Q7: What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?

SU DAILY GUIDE 19TH FEBRUARY 2024 OUTLINE:

This chapter ends with a positive note – “Beyond Jordan”, many people believed in Jesus (v.42). The people checked and confirmed that all that John said about Jesus was true (v.41). This action was in sharp contrast with what the Jews wanted to do in vs.31-33. Within the Jewish law, it was blasphemy for any man to claim to be God or the son of God (v.33). The Jews here saw Jesus as a mere man and so His claim that He was the Son of God was to them total blasphemy. This was the clear understanding of Jesus’ statement in v.30 which was the reason they tried to stone Him. Their preconceived ideas blocked their minds against the truth.

As we witness to other people about the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us remember that we are bound to meet opposition. However, we can rely on the scriptures as Jesus did (v.35) and on His presence and concern for us. Rejoice in Christ, and let the world know that Jesus is indeed the Christ, the Messiah.

• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?

Closing Prayer
Thank God for many, even among the Jews, who continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah.

Offer a prayer of faith in line with Luke 2:40
