A Devotional – SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES (86) 

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:  John 21:25 – The Eternal Plan of God – Jesus
And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES: Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah
(4)   Nicodemus, (Conqueror of the people) is the literal meaning of the name. It is unique how the apostle John and LORD brings this meaning into play while the event unfolds. (John 3:1) a ruler of the Jews (9-10) Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Jesus describes the physical procreation of all humans, Jesus also explains the spiritual birth needed by all (whosoever will) to enter the kingdom of God. Nicodemus was to be one of the first to hear the LORD’s discourse regarding God’s love for mankind and too, God’s permanent rejection upon all who refuse to believe in Jesus. John 3:11-21.

(5)  Jesus has is a brief ministry with John the Baptizer = John 3:22-36 = John the Baptizer in his final recorded message exalts The Messiah with these words that ought to our words as well. John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. “You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him. “He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is fulfilled. “He must increase, but I must decrease.” Jesus is coming again, soon! The church is to go, preach, teach and baptize in His Name! We are the bride of the Groom – Messiah.

(6)  The events at Jacob’s well could fit in any country, or in any small village or in any current city in our world today. The woman at the well can be your mom, your sister or your daughter. The woman could even be you. (Watch any commercial, view any sit-com, movie or murder mystery). Where there are men and women and where there is no integrity, the life that is lived is like the lives of those in Samaria when Jesus visited. It is the Spirit of God who carries off a saved sinner to tell the neighbor’s and it is the Spirit of God who guides those neighbors to believe. John 4:39 = And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
