07/13 John 3:1-4
After dark one evening, a Jewish religious leader named Nicodemus, a Pharisee, 2 came to speak with Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are proof enough that God is with you.” 3 Jesus replied, “I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God.”
PRIDE
We struggle with our ego, pride is a great obstacle and it is hard for us to surrender our heart to God. Even when we surrender our life to the Lord it is difficult for us to do His will day by day. Jesus is Lord and we need to learn that He will go with us moment by moment each day. Let go of your ego and pride, bend the knee to Jesus and He will guide you in the way you should go. God is good all the time.

07/12 John 2:23-25
Because of the miraculous signs he did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many people were convinced that he was indeed the Messiah. 24 But Jesus didn’t trust them, because he knew what people were really like. 25 No one needed to tell him about human nature.
MISSION
Jesus was on mission in this world to save mankind. He came to show us in God in the flesh. God is love. He loves you. Surrender your heart to Jesus and He will bring you into the family of God. Jesus is Lord and He loves you.

07/10 John 2:18-21
“What right do you have to do these things?” the Jewish leaders demanded. “If you have this authority from God, show us a miraculous sign to prove it.” 19 “All right,” Jesus replied. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 “What!” they exclaimed. “It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can do it in three days?” 21 But by “this temple,” Jesus meant his body.
JESUS
Jesus knew whom He was dealing with and He knew that they wouldn’t believe anything he said or did. He was sharing prophecy from the Bible and none of the scholars knew what He was talking about. Jesus is Lord. He will be Lord of your life. He knows what you need and He will come to you and change your life.
07/09 John 2:17
Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: “Passion for God’s house burns within me.”
PERFECT
Everything that Jesus did was perfect. There was no sin in Him and He was always doing the Father’s will. Jesus is looking for you. Have you surrendered your life to Him? Please if you have not do it now. Simply ask Jesus to come into you heart and forgive you of your sin. He is faithful and righteous and will forgive us if we ask Him. Jesus loves you.
07/08 John 2:14-16
In the Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices; and he saw moneychangers behind their counters. 15 Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple. He drove out the sheep and oxen, scattered the moneychangers’ coins over the floor, and turned over their tables. 16 Then, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them, “Get these things out of here. Don’t turn my Father’s house into a marketplace!”
FATHER
The Lord God is our Father. He seeks a relationship with us. He will do what has to be done to communicate with us. Jesus came in the flesh living a perfect life, dying an ignominious death and being raised from the dead by the power of God so that we can have life. This life is a life given by God to those that seek Him. The religious always have to be careful that they do not begin to think they are God because they are not. Jesus is Lord. Serve Him.
07/07 John 2:12-13
After the wedding he went to Capernaum for a few days with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples. 13 It was time for the annual Passover celebration, and Jesus went to Jerusalem.
YOU
Jesus was concerned about you. His life was totally dedicated to providing a relationship for you with the Father. Jesus led a perfect life. He was fully man and fully God and He walked straight to the Cross so that you and me could be forgiven of our sin. Jesus paid the price. We reap the absolution. Jesus is our salvation.
07/06 John 2:9-11
When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over. 10 “Usually a host serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone is full and doesn’t care, he brings out the less expensive wines. But you have kept the best until now!” 11 This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was Jesus’ first display of his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
BEST
The Lord provides us the BEST in our journey of life. We have the best relationship, the best prayer access, the best strength, the best of everything because we have Jesus. Christ is God’s everything and in Him we have accesses to all of the riches of God. Jesus is Lord.
07/05 John 2:5-8
But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Six stone waterpots were standing there; they were used for Jewish ceremonial purposes and held twenty to thirty gallons each. 7 Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled to the brim, 8 he said, “Dip some out and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So they followed his instructions.
NEED
Jesus meets needs. He meets our needs abundantly more than we can imagine. His impact in our life is to move us towards Christ likeness. Our goal is to be usable and useful in God’s economy. Spend time with Jesus today.
07/04 John 2:1-4
The next day Jesus’ mother was a guest at a wedding celebration in the village of Cana in Galilee. 2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. 3 The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother spoke to him about the problem. “They have no more wine,” she told him. 4 “How does that concern you and me?” Jesus asked. “My time has not yet come.”
TIMING
Timing is everything so it is said. Think of your own life-the good things and the bad things that would not have happened if the timing were just a little different. Okay with that said we need to understand that Jesus already knows what our timing will be and how it will change our life. Surrender your heart, bend your knee and Jesus will change everything about your life. He will lead you to be a helper of others, an enabler for those around you and equip you to live a life of gratitude. Change is the key. We need to change and become more like Jesus.
