Connecting and purpose

John 21:1-3 

The disciples had witnessed the most amazing thing on earth; power over death, yet they walked away from it and went back to the familiar; fishing.   The problem is their experience was unfulfilling.  They caught nothing!

Lord Jesus, help us to be filled with Your Holy Spirit so we can live a purposeful life with You.  Help us not to just work; help us to work for You.  In Your mighty name, Amen.

Jesus challenges those in authority

  John 5:16-18 Those in authority weren't happy with Jesus because He was working on the Sabbath.  In response He said His Father never stops working and He was just doing what His Father does.  This made those in authority even more upset because they forgot they too are children of God.  They assumed because He referred to God as His Father that He was saying He was God.  As a result those in authority started to persecute Jesus. Lord Jesus, we need You and Your Holy Spirit so we know what the Father is doing.  We want to mimic the Father; even if we're persecuted.  We know it is written "If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you" 1 Peter 4:4  Would you give us faith such that other may see You and glorify our Father in heaven?  In Your mighty name.

The Word came to earth

John 1:1-2   Have you ever read a book and wanted to watch the movie of it; or read about a theme park and went to it?  Well God created a book, the Torah and the Torah came alive through Jesus living on earth.  What makes this interesting though is Jesus was around from the beginning, before the Torah was written.  So He knows the content of the Torah and He modelled and explained the Torah. Lord Jesus, thank You for coming to earth.  For making Your word come alive.  Help us to understand it and live it.  Amen.

Hard teachings...Jesus gives life

  John 6:45-51 Jesus is trying to explain who He is.  He's trying to explain spiritual matters with physical illustrations.  He is the the bread of life and with Him we can inherit eternal life! Lord Jesus, this is a hard teaching because You died as well as followers of You yet we know You had power over death.  Help us to trust You with our Spiritual nutrients.  In Your mighty name.
