Coming of the Son of God
Matthew, Mark and Luke are called
synoptic gospels because they
contain much of the same material.
By contrast John, the supplementary
gospel provides a fourth dimension
of Jesus’ life and ministry. Fully 92%
of John’s material is not found in
any other gospel account. John
writes to convince his readers
Who Jesus is (the Son of God)
and how new life can be found
in Him (20:30-31). He begins in
eternity past, showing how the
Word who was one with God (1:1)
became flesh in order to take
His message of life to mankind.
Lord Jesus, thank You for Coming
to mankind as the Son of God.
Because You Jesus is God’s Son,
we can fully trust what You say.
By trusting You, we can gain open mind to discern God’s message
and fulfil His purpose in our lives.
Lord, we Place Our Trust In You.
Lord, we Seek Your Presence, and
Lord, we’ll Trust and Obey. Amen.
Lord, we Place Our Trust In You:
He came to that which was His
own, but His own did not receive
Him. Yet to all who received Him,
to those who believed in His name,
He gave the right to become
children of God (John 1:11-12).
Lord Jesus, I do believe in You
and I have accepted you as my
Savior and Master. Thank You
for revealing Yourself to me;
and thank You for saving me.
Because of Your grace and my
faith, I am a child of the living God
and I praise You for the privilege.
What joy to know in every situation
I have a loving and wise Heavenly
Father to counsel me. Amen.
Lord, we Seek Your Presence:
And the Word became flesh and
dwelt among us, and we beheld
His glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father,
full of grace and truth (Jn 1:14).
From His abundance we have
all received one gracious
blessing after another (v16).
Lord, despite the promise that
You’re always with me, sometimes
I just can’t sense Your presence.
Cause me to be thankful & grateful
of the fullness of Your salvation.
Open my eyes to behold how
immense Your love is; and grant me
to experience your love more fully.
Make me complete with the fullness
of life that comes from You. Amen.
Lord, we will Trust & Obey You:
Jesus asked: How does that concern
you & me? My time has not yet come.
But his mother told the servants:
Do whatever he tells u… Jesus told
the servants: Fill the jars with water.
When the jars had been filled to
the brim, dip some out and take it
to the master of ceremonies. So they
followed his instructions (Jn 2:4-8).
Lord, we note the servants had just
sufficient faith to do what You said.
And in effect, faith boils down to
trusting God enough to do what
He says, however odd or unusual,
and leaving the results to Him. So
Lord, please give me the courage
to hear and obey Your voice. Amen.
