Bible Verse of The Day – 1-19-21

John 8:19 (NKJV) 19 Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.” If you know Me, you would know the Father.

Jesus let the people know that they didn’t know Him the way they should.

They didn’t believe in Him and Who His Father said He was; the only begotten Son, sent from Heaven, the Messiah, and Savior of the world.

It’s sad to think that they were so far off. Jesus said it like this:

Matthew 7:23 (NKJV) 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

I never knew you. We don’t want these words to ever sit on our heads.

Getting to know Jesus takes an effort on our part, to want to know and learn of Him, not just intellectually, but personally.

We need to follow Him, letting His light guide us.

When He leads us, we have sharp discernment, our understanding is quick and we are focused.

Every step we make means something and there is great accomplishment and a peace about it all.

John 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk-in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Why should we be in darkness when Jesus says that if we follow Him, we will have the light of life?

I don’t know about you, but I want the light of life not only living in me, but flourishing in me!

Light is good. Know Jesus and you will know our Father. Walking with them is better than we could ever have it on our own. They are our life!

Job 33:4 (NKJV) 4 The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

Take a step in knowing Jesus today in a more intimate and deeper way.

Start by opening the book of John. Just read a little at a time and let Him reveal Himself to you. Ask the Holy Spirit to Help take you to a deeper relationship with Him.

Be diligent in giving Him time to reveal Himself to you throughout your daily routine. And keep your eyes and ears open. He is faithful to come alive in our daily walk as we give Him the freedom to move.
