Day 7

Jesus is God, but He still needed daily fellowship with God the Father to accomplish all He was sent to do. God had John to continue to record what happened in Jesus’ life, and we read in John 4:31–34, Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” 32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 So ...

Jesus had just told the disciples in John 4:34, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.” God’s Word feeds us as we feast on His Word each day. We must be careful not to treat the Word of God like a cookbook. We know a cookbook has great recipes in it, and as we read the cookbook, our appetites are stirred. Bu...

Jesus knew that the Samaritan woman had placed her faith in Him, and He knew that she had gone back into town to share the gospel with the people in her city. Jesus also knew that John the Baptist had been going through the area preaching a message of repentance, and his message had spread everywhere. So, the lives of the people in Samaria we...

After the woman from Samaria went back into her city to tell the men all that Jesus had said to her, many Samaritans went to meet Jesus.

Jesus returned with His disciples to His hometown of Galilee after being in Samaria. We read in John 4:45, So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast. The only reason the Galileans received Jesus was because they had seen ...

As we read John 4:46–48, we see that Jesus is back in Cana of Galilee and that many people simply followed Jesus because they wanted to see another miracle. They did not believe in Jesus as Lord but were looking to be amazed at His power. The royal official had come some 20 miles from Capernaum to plead with Jesus for His mercy to be given to...
