Good morning. So now everyone is stirred up over Jesus and His words. Some said that He was the Prophet; others the Christ. Surely the Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He? Scriptures say that the Christ will come from the descendants of David and from Bethlehem.
They did not realize that both were true of Jesus. Remember that the chief priests and the Pharisees had sent officers to seize Him. They returned and said never has a man spoken in the way this man speaks. The Pharisees replied, no one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he? This was not true because Nicodemus had come to Jesus. He then tries to speak up for Jesus. Our law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it? You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee. My Bible says that they are mistaken because Jonah came from Galilee and perhaps others as well. There is a dispute that the story about the woman caught in adultery may not have belonged originally to the Gospel of John. There are certain places where it seems to be stuck in there. Nevertheless, it does seem like something that Jesus would have done. Now everyone went to his home, but Jesus went to the mount of olives. Early in the morning He came again to the temple and sat down and began to teach. The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery and said, teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. In the law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say? They were trying to find reasons to accuse Jesus of doing something wrong. We’ll see next time what Jesus did and said. Father thank You that You are in control of everything that happens. Help us to listen carefully and to hear what You are trying to say to us that we should do.

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 ...

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed

  Good morning. We left John at the entrance of the tomb, stooping and looking in. “Shy” Peter then arrives following John, and enters the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there. So the other disciple, John, who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. It does not say whether or not Peter believed. For as yet they did not understand the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again to their own homes. I’m not exactly sure what it means by their own homes. They were originally from Galilee and would not have had homes in Jerusalem. Perhaps it means the homes where they were staying while in Jerusalem. Apparently, they were not staying in the upper room, or it would have said so. But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped (just like John) and looked into the tomb. She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been l...
