Meditations of The Gospel of John: Chapter 14

      In this chapter, we discover the 6th 'I AM' statement of Jesus. He declares in verse 6 "I am the way, the Truth, and the Life..." There is so much to take from this statement. 

   The Way: Jesus is the The Road that leads to God The Father. In the second part of verse six, Jesus states that no one comes to The Father, but by Him. Christ reconciles us to a Holy God by His shed blood. Romans goes on to tell us that we are justified by Jesus' blood. When we are justified, we are reconciled. 
      The Truth: Jesus is the source of truth and wisdom. Later on in this chapter, Jesus explains that He speaks the words of God. God is not a man that He should lie. He is referred to as The Wisdom of God in 1 Corinthians 1:24. 
      The Life: Throughout the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly teaches that He has come to offer eternal life. In John chapter 6, He declares Himself to be the Bread of Life. He told His disciples that anyone who ate His flesh and drank His blood has eternal life. This means that Jesus is the source of life. 
         Jesus also informs His disciples that when He leaves them, He will send the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is referred to as Comforter and The Spirit of Truth. As the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit leads, guides and teaches us In the things of God. And as Comforter, He abides with us for ever (verse 16).

Holy Monday

  Scripture References: Mathew 21:12-17                                           Mark 11:-12-25 Summary : On Holy Monday, we commemorate these two events: The Cleansing of the Temple and the Cursing of the Fig Tree.

Holy Wednesday

        Scripture Reference: Luke 22:1-6 Summary: As the Passover Feast approaches, the chief priests and scribes begin conspiring to kill Jesus. They discover they have an ally, Judas Iscariot, who agrees to betray Jesus for a price.                        Prayer Holy Savior, Many times we criticize Judas for betraying You. But how often have we betrayed Your Holy Majesty through our sins? Through our irreverence and sacrilege?  Lord, forgive us! Make us clean! Remove idolatry from our hearts and Give us hearts with total and committed loyalty to You. Let us not be entangled with the things of this world, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. Renew a right spirit within us and help us to abide in You. Amen

Holy Week Update

  Hello Everyone! Holy Week starts tomorrow and I just wanted to give you some updates. I am still planning on working on the Daniel devotions. I haven’t forgotten about them. I’ve been busy with work, church and just being exhausted.  As for Holy Week, I decided to do something different. Instead of writing my insights on Holy Week Scriptures (like I did last year), I decided to write prayers for each day. The Bible command us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Also, it is impossible to have a devotional life without prayer. I will post the Sculpture references and encourage reading them as well as praying. Also feel free to look back at the Holy Week devotionals from last year.  May God bless you as you pursue Him!
