Today's Reading John 14
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 14
John 14
The disciples knew that something was going to happen that night and they felt uneasy. Jesus comforts his disciples, by telling them that He was going to prepare a place for them. This should be a source of comfort to us as well. Another great 'I am' and a verse worth memorizing, is presented here: Jesus said 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' We do not claim that Jesus is the way the Truth and the Life, He did! This may not be politically correct and sounds exclusive, but these are the words of Jesus.
John 14.15-31
Jesus promises the Holy Spirit if they loved Him and obey his command. It is not enough for us to say that we love Jesus, we have to obey Him as well. Let us talk about loving Jesus. It is simply this ‘If anyone loves me, he will obey my teachings. The bottom line is obedience to His teachings. The benefit is that the Father and Son will come to the obedient Christian and make their home with him. The Holy Spirit will teach us all things and will remind us of the words that He has said.
Verse to meditate and memorize: John 14.27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.
Jesus foretold that He was going away and He will come back to the disciples.

Today's Reading John 13.21-38
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 13
John 13.21-38
Being a prophet, Jesus foretold His betrayal. Scripture would be fulfilled that night when Judas betrayed Him (Psalm 41.9). The disciples were puzzled when Jesus said that one of them would betray Him. Jesus said that 'It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.' He gave the bread to Judas and Satan entered into him. He told Judas to go and do what he is about to do quickly indicating that he should hurry up and arrange the betrayal. You notice it said at the end of the passage:Itwas night
Do we understand that it is by the cross that the Son is glorified as well as God the Father. Verses to meditate on today: 34A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (NKJV) Unbelievers will know we are Christians not by the words or actions or by how devout we are, byt whether or not we love one another. When we get to 1 John we see love is a major theme of 1 John. John the apostle is known as the disciple whom Jesus love. He is the apostle who teaches about love.
Jesus as a prophet foretold Peter's denial (John 13.37-38; Matthew 26.33-35; Mark 14.29-31; Luke 22.33-34). Peter was always a man of action and words but we knew that he denied Christ three times. Let us be careful with our promises and vows we make to God.

1 Kings 22.1-28; 2Chronicles 18.1-27 Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat met as allies against the king of Aram. Jehoshaphat wanted the counsel of God and asked Ahab if there was a prophet to seek the counsel of the Lord whether they should go to war against Romoth-gilead. Ahab had his prophets and they did not have the Spirit of God within them. Jehoshaphat asked if there was another prophet present. Ahab said that there was athe prophet Micaiah but he never prophesied any good (in Ahab’s favor). Jehoshaphat request Micaiah and he answered opposite to what the lying prophets told Ahab and Jehoshaphat. The truth was the Lord did not give Ramoth-Gilead.in the hands of Ahab and Jehoshaphat. Micaiah was put in prison for speaking the truth. How many of us would stand up for the truth and pay the consequences?
Ahab was killed by a random arrow, at Ramoth-Gilead (1Kings 22.29-36; 2Chronicles 18.28-34) even though he disguised himself. Ahab’s blood was licked up by dogs as the Lord had declared in 1Kings 21.19.

John 13.1-30
Jesus surprised the disciples by washing their feet. In the Jewish culture at that time it was the menial task of a servant. There were no servant present and no one had volunteered to wash the disciples' feet. This was the only Gospel account of the feet washing. This was done during the meal not at the arrival and was done on puropose to teach them an object lesson. Jesus said 'I am among you as one who serves.' (Luke 22.27). Jesus told them that servant is greater than his master indicating that they should be as humble as He is and they would be blessed if they did what he had commanded them.
