Good morning. Father, we ask in
Jesus name that You extend Your healing hand to the reader; that You bring
about a miraculous healing quickly Lord - that You make him/her whole and
complete quickly. In Jesus’ name we pray amen! Jesus’ disciples were
complaining about His statement of eating His flesh and drinking His blood.
Does this cause you to stumble? What then if you see the Son of Man ascending
to where He was before? It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits
nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. This
emphasizes the importance of God’s word - if you want to have life, follow the
word. There are some of you who do not believe. He is saying this to His
disciples (not just the 12 who also were apostles but also others who were
following Him). They were not just people in the crowd who happened to be there
when He said these words. I guess you could say it was crunch time. Now we can
see who truly believed and who just wanted part of the glamour of His
celebrity. For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me
unless it has been granted him from the Father. Many of His disciples withdrew
and were not walking with Him anymore. Jesus said to the 12, you do not want to
go away also, do you? Now they also had to come to the realization that they
truly believed and were not just part of the groupies that followed Jesus.
Peter nails it: Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God. We
have to believe God‘s word, even when everything is turned upside down. Father
go with the reader. Help him/her to have the words to speak to bring healing
and comfort to his/her family member. Bring about healing quickly - in Jesus’
name. Amen.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
