Good morning. Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son,
that the Son may glorify You, even as You gave Him authority over all flesh,
that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. This is eternal
life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have
sent. We normally think of something eternal as very lengthy. This indicates
that there is also a quality to it - that is, knowing God and Jesus. I
glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given
Me to do. Again Jesus only did what God wanted Him to do. Now Father, glorify
Me together with Yourself, with the glory that I had with You before the world
was. Remember the first part of John that Jesus was with God in the beginning.
I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave me out of the world; they
were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. There were
many names for God throughout the Old Testament. In fact when Moses asked God
what should he say when the people of Israel ask him who sent you – God said to
tell them “I Am” sent you. But nowhere in the Old Testament did anyone call
God, Father. Father thank You that You manifested Your name to us. Help us
daily to keep Your word.
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 ...
