John

“Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.” John‬ ‭4:48‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ As a young Bible College student, I read this as criticism. A person with sufficient, or even abundant, faith would not need a sign or a wonder to believe. Boy, how that motivated me to achieve a super-faith…

“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.” ‭‭John‬ ‭4:34‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ My food… The story started with Jesus speaking about Spirit-water. And now Spirit-food. Do you get the idea that the nourishment of our spirit is important? But when I think about Jesus the…

The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” John‬ ‭4:25-26‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ This story is incredible. The dance continues between this woman and Jesus. He says, she says, he says, then she says……

Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. John‬ ‭4:21-24‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ The timing of God is…

Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem. ‭‭John‬ ‭4:19-20‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ If Jesus was knocking at my heart’s door asking me to believe, all in, 100%, what would be my first…

And The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.” “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no…

Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭4:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ The water Jesus…

Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” ‭John‬ ‭4:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ There are several incredible things about Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the…

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. ‭‭John‬ ‭3:27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ When John the Baptist said this, there was a transition happening – the baton of ministry being passed from John to Jesus. After he was killed, Jesus said of John that among those born…

This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth…
