Knowing God In John 1/3 (Jul 20)

Lamb of God Enables Eternal Life

John writes to convince readers
who Jesus is (the Son of God) and
how new life can be found in Him.
Jesus begins in eternity past,
showing how the Word who was
one with God became flesh to take
His message of life to mankind.
Jesus’ ministry is not confined for
at any time & in all places He is
ready with a word & healing touch.
Nicodemus comes seeking answers
and finds miracle of second birth.
Samaritan woman comes seeking
water at the well and finds a source
of living water that will never run dry.
The paralytic at the pool finds even
38 years of lameness is no obstacle
to the miracle-working Son of God.
Jew or Samaritan, religious leader
or religious outcast, Jesus’
compassion knows no bounds.

Lord, we adore U the Lamb of God:
The next day John saw Jesus
coming toward him and said:
Behold the Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world! (Jn 1:29)
And as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world that
He gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall
not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son… to
condemn the world but that the world
thru Him might be saved (Jn 3:13-17)

Father God, Your Son, no sin at all,
yet You sent Him to become the
sacrificial Lamb so that his blood
can become the substitutionary
atonement for all our sins.
Lord Jesus, we love You for being
the Lamb of God and we praise You
for all that You have accomplished:
Your sacrificial death, triumphant
resurrection; and for certain return.
Worthy is the Lamb to receive
all glory forever and ever, Amen.

Father, thank You for loving us and sending Your Son to pay the ultimate price so that we could experience eternal life: the abundant life that begins here on earth. And I look forward to being With You forever
in heaven; a better place of eternal joy and where there’s no tears.
And be reunited to loved ones
and friends who had gone before.
Grant that Your love flows thru me
so that more people may experience Your boundless love for us. Amen.

Lord Jesus, it’s hard to comprehend
love so great as Yours. You laid
down Your life so that I can live
forever with You. My response
to Your first loving me is to love
You Wholeheartedly in return.
Help me to lay down my life fully
for You in serving Your purpose
here on earth and thereby also
fulfilling my prepared destiny. Amen
