Yes, He is the Christ! - John 4:34-45 15:13

1+ y ago15:13

15:13

The Samaritan woman asks the townspeople if Jesus could be the Christ. They believe that He is based on her testimony. And then they spend two days with Him and believe even more based on His testimony. Go and proclaim the Gospel - preach the good news to others. One will sow and another will reap. We don't know our role in the moment, but let us b…

Can this be the Christ? - John 4:27-34 12:08

1+ y ago12:08

12:08

Today, we see the Samaritan woman run back to town to call others to see Jesus. She uses her story and Jesus's knowledge of it to draw them out. She asks, "Can this be the Christ?" And the townspeople respond - they follow her back to the well. While they are coming back, Jesus and His disciples talk about spiritual food. Jesus, though weary from H…

Jesus is the Messiah - John 4:19-26 11:20

1+ y ago11:20

11:20

Jesus continues His interaction with the woman at the well. She changes the topic of conversation from her long list of husbands to where to worship. Jesus tells her that it is not about where one worships but all about who and how. He calls her (and us) to only worship the Father in spirit and truth. Then He reveals to her that He is the Messiah -…

The Thirst for Love - John 4:16-18 7:16

1+ y ago7:16

7:16

The Samaritan woman thirsts for love of some kind. She has been married 5 times and is sleeping with at least her 6th man. She is looking for love in all the wrong places. Jesus is offering the living water that will satisfy any thirst she might have. Much better than any marriage or relationship. Turn to Jesus and be fulfilled! John 4:16-18 Jesus …

Jesus gives a spring of living water - John 4:7-15 11:28

1+ y ago11:28

11:28

In His grace, Jesus initiates with a Samaritan woman at the well. He is the one who seeks out - not the sinner. While she can draw water from the well, it is water that can never satisfy. It is only temporary. Jesus offers living water—the Holy Spirit —which will always satisfy. This is a free gift from God. There is nothing that the woman or we do…

Jesus Walks to Samaria - John 4:1-6 12:58

1+ y ago12:58

12:58

Jesus leaves Judea (Nicodemus and John the Baptist) to return to Galilee. He makes His way to Samaria and the well of Jacob. Since Jesus is truly God and truly man, His journey wearies him and stops to rest in Samaria. It is here he will have an interaction with a Samaritan woman. Jesus shows us again that the Gospel is good news for the Jews first…

John 3:22-30 - John Bears Witness to Jesus 9:48

1+ y ago9:48

9:48

John the Baptist again makes it clear that he is not the Christ. He is the one who comes before to proclaim and exult the Messiah. Jesus is the Christ and the Savior! He is the promised Messiah and came to save the world. John 3:22-30 After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptiz…

John 3:19-21 - Darkness Leads to Death 8:01

1+ y ago8:01

8:01

Do not love the darkness; rather, turn to Christ Jesus. He is the light. He will expose all that you think is hidden. Run from your sin and worship Jesus. John 3:19-21 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things ha…

John 3:17-18 - Jesus Did Not Come to Condemn the World 6:21

1+ y ago6:21

6:21

There are two types of people. First, those who believe in Jesus and, therefore, are not condemned. Second, those who do not believe and are already condemned. They are already guilty. Bow your knee today to your king, King Jesus. He is the only one who can save you from God's just wrath. John 3:17-18 For God did not send his Son into the world to …

John 3:16 - For God So Loved the World 9:37

1+ y ago9:37

9:37

We finally made it to John 3:16! It's such a famous verse. It is essential to take it in context with the rest of Jesus's conversation with Nicodemus. In this verse, we see that God is the primary actor; He is the one who saves us. Our natural path is one of death - of God's wrath. We must be saved from this. It is only through Jesus that we can be…

John 3:14-15 - God Provides a Way for Salvation 13:19

1+ y ago13:19

13:19

God has always provided a way—a way for salvation. He made the promise back in the Garden of Eden. “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” (Gen 3:15) Jesus is the fulfillment of that promise, and He is the seed. God had a plan and provided…

John 3:11-13 - But we have the mind of Christ. 6:52

1+ y ago6:52

6:52

We can only speak about what we know. Nicodemus did not truly know God or His plan. But we have Christ and the indwelling of the Spirit. We truly know Jesus and His word. While Nicodemus questioned, we can speak boldly with confidence! John 3:11-13 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you …

John 3:9-10 - You are a Teacher, and You Don't Understand! 4:58

1+ y ago10:24

John 3:1-2 - The Questioning Pharisee 10:50

1+ y ago10:50

10:50

Nicodemus meets with Jesus at night and questions Him about Jesus's authority. This conversation will continue until John 3:21.

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs tha…

John 2:23-25 - Jesus saves, physically and spiritually 6:00

1+ y ago6:00

6:00

Jesus continued to perform signs and wonders. Yet, He did not show Himself to be the world's savior. Why? They were looking for only an earthly savior, not a spiritual savior. John 2:23-25 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing. But Jesus on his part did not entrust hi…

John 2:18-22 - "My death and resurrection are the sign you seek" 5:43

1+ y ago5:43

5:43

The Jews asked Jesus who He thought He was to cleanse the temple. They sought a sign of His authority. He would give the ultimate sign at His resurrection! Victory is found through Christ alone! John 2:18-22 So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I wil…

John 2:13-17 - Orderly Worship: Cleansing the Temple 9:41

1+ y ago9:41

9:41

Jesus takes worship seriously, and so should we. Worship is all about God, not man, and must be orderly. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy! John 2:13-17 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. And making …

John 2:1-12 - The First of Jesus's Signs: Water to Wine 8:57

2y ago8:57

8:57

John now tells the account of Jesus's first sign. He is at a wedding and turns water into wine. Not only does he turn it into wine, but he turns a large quantity into high quality wine. Jesus is starting to show His glory. "And his disciples believed in him." John 2:1-12 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jes…

John 1:35-42 - We have found the Messiah! 7:06

2y ago7:06

John 1:29-31 - The Lamb of God Takes Away the Sin of the World! 7:07

2y ago7:07

7:07

Jesus is the perfect Passover Lamb. He takes away the sin of the world. He willingly went to the slaughter and out substitutionary atonement. John 1:29-31 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because…

John 1:17 8:54

2y ago8:54

8:54

Moses and Jesus are not at odds with each other. John contrasts what was given by Moses with what came in Jesus. The Law is God's law and it was given through Moses. Grace and Truth are from God, from Jesus. They are given through Him! John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.…

Jesus was rejected by the world, including 'his own people'. But he came as light to the whole world. And now we can be brought into His family. Not by our own works, but by the power of God.
