Friday's Verse

School is out!!!!

What I learned: The Pharisees sent the people to question John the Baptist about why he was baptizing people if he was not Jesus or a prophet. He answered that he baptized with water so that other people could show their faith in God. He also told them that there is one who was walking the earth that they had not yet met.

"He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing."

John 1:27-28

Friday's Verse ( a day late)

Sorry, I got behind in school last week and the only computer time I got was to do school.... One more week until it is finished!

What I learned: They were looking for an answer to why John knew so much about the Messiah if he was not Him or a prophet. he told them that he was just a man preparing the way or letting people know that the Messiah was coming.

"And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;"

John 1:24-26

Friday's Verse

What I learned: I learned from this verse that we can be popular as John was at this time. People will come to us seeking something as they did to John. They asked John if he was the Messiah. He said that he was not the Messiah. We should to Jesus Christ as John did.

" And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias."

John 1:21-23

Friday's Verse

Wow! Has it really been that long? Sorry.....

I guess, what is took me 2 weeks to learn: No one has ever looked on the face of God himself. No one knows him fully like Jesus does. Jesus has spoke and told us about him because he knows Him.

This week's verses:
"And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ."

John 1:19-20

Friday's Verse

What I learned from Friday's Verse: Moses brought to the people the law that was sent from God. God wrote the law for his people. God sent His son to save us because we could not do it on our own. GRACE~Not getting what we do deserve. We deserve eternal death and eternal separation in hell from God.

"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."
John 1:18

Friday's Verse

What I learned for Tuesday's Verse: I learned that we should tell others like John the Baptist did. We should not be ashamed and say it loudly for everyone to hear. It is not us who saves it is Jesus Christ who gives us grace and Mercy. John said that he was born physically before Jesus but that Jesus existed in Heaven before John even was.

"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."

John 1:17

Have a great Weekend!

Tuesday's Verse

What I learned for Wednesday's Verse: This verse tells us that Jesus was the Word. He is the only one of the trinity (God, Jesus, Holy Spirit) that took human form. It also tells us that Jesus is the only birth child of God. He was/is without sin.

"John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace."

John 1:15-16
