1/29 John 3:34
For he is sent by God. He speaks God’s words, for God’s Spirit is upon him without measure or limit.
JESUS
Fully God, fully man and He is totally committed to the Father. He and the Father are totally committed to us. Today this very moment the Lord is thinking about you. You can be confident that what you are doing and the struggles you are facing are important to the Lord and that He is in it together with you. Jesus loves you.

1/28 John 3:32-33
He tells what he has seen and heard, but how few believe what he tells them! 33 Those who believe him discover that God is true.
TRUE
Everything the Lord tells you is true. He knows eternity from this moment. He is intimately knowledgeable about the past from this moment into eternity. Nothing is hidden from Jesus. Let Him have control of your life.
1/27 John 3:31
“He has come from above and is greater than anyone else. I am of the earth, and my understanding is limited to the things of earth, but he has come from heaven.
CHRIST JESUS
Christ Jesus came from the Father to us. He came to save us from ourselves. We are our own worst enemy. Let Jesus change your life. Let our precious Lord equip you for the work He created you for. Serve Jesus.
1/26 John 3:29
The bride will go where the bridegroom is. A bridegroom’s friend rejoices with him. I am the bridegroom’s friend, and I am filled with joy at his success. 30 He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
JESUS
John the Baptist recognized the Savior. Think about your life. How are things? Jesus changes everything. He will affect your physical life and your spiritual life. He will give you a new heart that He will educate. Jesus changes everything in your life beginning right now. Ask Christ to deal with whatever obstacle or difficulty you are facing. Do not give up. Sometimes it takes a little while for the Lord to educate us.
1/25 John 3:27-28
John replied, “God in heaven appoints each person’s work. 28 You yourselves know how plainly I told you that I am not the Messiah. I am here to prepare the way for him — that is all.
WORK
God has a job for you to do. It isn’t my job or someone else’s job it is your job. Let the Lord use you to do those things that only you can do. Remember people count with Jesus and He sends us to minister to people.
1/24 John 3:25-26
At that time a certain Jew began an argument with John’s disciples over ceremonial cleansing. 26 John’s disciples came to him and said, “Teacher, the man you met on the other side of the Jordan River, the one you said was the Messiah, is also baptizing people. And everybody is going over there instead of coming here to us.”
JESUS
Jesus is the Son of God and he is alive today. Christ lives in us. John the Baptist saw what was happening and knew that Jesus was the Lord. Jesus began His work where He was just as we are called to do our work where we are. Dreaming about doing God’s work is not doing God’s work. Get busy. Do the work. Serve the Lord. Be changed.
1/23 John 3:23-24
At this time John the Baptist was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there and people kept coming to him for baptism. 24 This was before John was put into prison.
FAITHFULNESS
We are called to faithfulness. We surrender our life to let Jesus live in us. I am to spend time with Him so that I will know Him. If we ignore the Lord we will flail around in life. We won’t know where to go and what to do. If we focus on Jesus our life will take function as the Lord leads us. We can do nothing without Jesus.
1/22 John 3:22
Afterward Jesus and his disciples left Jerusalem, but they stayed in Judea for a while and baptized there.
WORK
The work of the kingdom is sharing the Gospel with others. Jesus would that all might be saved. We need to be aware that we are partnering together with Christ in the work of the kingdom. Jesus is Lord and we are busy seeking to do His work. Step one in spreading the Gospel is to develop a real concern for those we know. People count with the Lord and they should count with us.
1/21 John 3:20-21
They hate the light because they want to sin in the darkness. They stay away from the light for fear their sins will be exposed and they will be punished. 21 But those who do what is right come to the light gladly, so everyone can see that they are doing what God wants.”
SIN
Sin is demanding and enslaving. It always seeks to counterfeit the light but it is only darkness. When we turn our life over to Jesus He will always guide us in the light. If things are a bit dark for you right now, if you life is chaotic and confusing, ask the Lord to bring you back to the light. Jesus is the light and in Him is NO darkness. Let Jesus lead you today.
1/20 John 3:19
Their judgment is based on this fact: The light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.
WORLD
The world is wise in their own eyes but they are not because they are foolishly fighting against God. Do not stand with the sinner. Bend your knee to Christ and ask Him to guide your day. If you belong to Him live like you do for we can do all things in Christ. If you don’t know Him stop right where you are and ask the Lord to forgive you of your sin and save you. He will. Once you are in God’s family remember that He is the source of wisdom for living.
