Good morning. Therefore - remember that when you see the
word therefore, check to see what it is there for. In order for us to be of the
same mind, with one accord, and with one voice, we need to: accept one another,
just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God. Christ accepted us despite
all of our faults and failures; and so we should accept our fellow believers
despite their faults and failures. I say that Christ has become a servant to
the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to
the fathers, and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy. God promised
the Jews through Abraham, and so Christ came for them to confirm that promise.
They had a “right“ to that promise, being Jews. The Gentiles did not deserve
anything but death and destruction; but God wanted to show us mercy, so He sent
Christ to die for us also. Father help this to be a super week for the reader
coming up. Show him/her how to find true happiness.

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 ...
