Mark these Key Words: Word, Life, God
John 1:1 & 2
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.”
What does this verse say about the deity of Jesus Christ?
It shows that God and Jesus were together in the beginning, which proves that He is fully God.
John 2:14 & 15
“And He found in the temple those who are selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.”
If your body is a “temple of the Holy Spirit” what do these verses say to you about your activities with your “temple of the Holy Spirit” if Jesus came inside?
Jesus values and cares about the house of God. As Christians, we should be men and women who take care of our temple. Our bodies are the dwelling place of God, and we should conduct ourselves in absolute purity, we should not put harmful substances into our bodies, and we should take care of our health to preserve the dwelling place of God while on this earth.
John 3:20 & 21
“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 comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”
How are The Word of God and the Spirit of God like a flashlight in the dark cave?
The only way you can get rid of darkness is through light, in other words, because light kills darkness. Picture yourself attempting to navigate the “Kanakuk cave” with no flashlight. Similarly, the only way you can kill sin and navigate this dark world is through God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit (Psalm 119:11, Galatians 5:16). Turn on the lights!
John 4:13 & 14
“Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
How is Jesus’ indwelling Spirit like water that keeps you from being thirsty ever again?
Jesus is not talking about a limited and temporary earthly experience; He is speaking of an indwelling Spirit who will meet our needs in time and in eternity. Obedience and trust is great evidence of God’s indwelling Spirit inside of us. Trust God, obey His commands, follow Jesus, and accept the grace He freely bestows, and you will never thirst again.
John 5:6-8
“When Jesus say him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, ‘Do you wish to get well?’ The sick man answered Him, ‘Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.’ Jesus said him, ‘Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.’”
What does Jesus’ conversation with the sick man say to you personally?
