Receive Lord’s Revelation (Oct 5)
Matthew, Mark and Luke are called
synoptic gospels because they
contain much of the same material.
By contrast John, the supplemental
gospel provides a fourth dimension
of Jesus’ earthly 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. He begins in eternity past,
showing how the Word who was
one with God became flesh to take
His message of life to mankind.
Lord, we Receive & Believe You:
Yet to all who did receive Him,
to those who believed in His name,
He gave the right to become
children of God (John 1:12).
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…
And of His fullness we have received
and grace for grace (v14-16).
No one has ever seen God.
But his only Son, who is himself
God is near to the Father’s heart;
He has told us about Him (v18).
Lord Jesus, I do believe in You
and I have already accepted You
as my Saviour and Master. Thank
You for revealing Yourself to me
and thank You for saving me.
Because of Your grace & my faith
in You, I’m not just a forgiven sinner
but also a child of the living God.
Help me keep on believing in You,
accepting Your Lordship and living
out my true identity. And I praise
You for such a privilege. Amen.
Lord, You became flesh, lived among
us & giving us fullness of salvation.
Open my eyes and heart to behold
and experience Your immense love.
Make me complete with the fullness
of life & power that comes from You.
Fill me with Yourself and Your truth
so that I will have the wisdom I need.
Be the Word in me so that You don’t
just speak to me but speak thru me
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Father God, praise You for revealing
Yourself through Your Son Jesus.
Help me see You more accurately
and love You more deeply each day.
Thank you for Your Word, which
reveals Your love & purpose for me.
And Thank You for Jesus, who has
made it possible for me to have
clearer vision to see You. Amen.
