Good morning. I can
do nothing on my own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just,
because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. It is hard
for people to judge honestly because their own will a lot of times seeps into their
judgment. Jesus judges fairly and honestly. If I alone testify about Myself, My
testimony is not true. There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that
the testimony which He gives about Me is true. John testified about Me; but the
testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you
may be saved. John was revered by many; so his testimony was highly received.
He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to
rejoice for a while in his light. John has already called Jesus the Light, now
Jesus calls John the Baptist the lamp. Both were lights of God. That should be
enough to settle the issue; but - the testimony which I have is greater than
the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to
accomplish the very works I do testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
It’s not just words – it is actions. No one ever did the miracles that Jesus
did. If God did not approve of Him, then the miracles would not have happened.
Father thank You that You testified about Jesus through the works He did. I ask
Jesus perform one of those miraculous works for the reader right now.
When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.
Good morning. When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion. Notice that “we“ returns. Luke has not been mentioned during the entire two years that Paul was at Caesarea. I guess it is safe to assume that he was in the area during this time. We will leave out the names of a bunch of places where they passed. They had sailed for a good many days and began to have trouble with the wind. This was a warning of what was about to happen. When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast (Day of Atonement) was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives. The centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. They did not want to get stuck for the winter in the port where they were located. They actually were only g...
