'Look at What I Do, Then Decide' - John 10:22-25

It was now winter, and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of Hanukkah, the Festival of Dedication. He was in the Temple, walking through the section known as Solomon's Colonnade. The people surrounded him and asked, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."
Jesus replied, "I have already told you, and you don't believe me. The proof is the work I do in my Father's name."


—John 10:22-25 NLT

Key Thought​

Many people claim to be something they are not. Jesus repeatedly reminded his disciples (including us) that the proof of a disciple's identity is not what he or she claims, but what he or she does. [1] An essential part of Jesus' proof of identity was what he did, too! Want to have a good idea who he is? Then notice what he did and how he lived.

Today's Prayer​

Father, please empower me as I seek to live up to what I profess and to practice what I preach. I want my life to be genuine. I want to reflect the values I hold in my heart. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Believe, trust and wait for salvation cometh from the Lord. Jesus, the Messiah did wonders among people, but many did not believe nor trusted His word.

 

[Rizakar]

I do not know any Christian that does not long to be perfect and like Christ while we all know this is impossible we at least know the very blood of Christ has washed us and set us free to be what Jesus had in mind for our lives individually all the time and that is wonderful and all the good news we need to keep serving Him faithfully in Jesus Holy Name. Amen.
