Bible Verse of The Day – 5-19-21

John 6:63 (NKJV) 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

Jesus came to earth with one purpose; to bring life to dead people.

No, it wasn’t just about raising those who had died.

Yes, He did that. But it was more than that.

He needed to speak life to those who were living, yet not really alive.

Their hearts were beating. Their lungs were breathing. But their spirits were dead in their sins and ignorance. So, His goal was to bring truth and light to darkened souls and into a world where darkness ruled.

The words Jesus spoke and the things He taught were new, and they were different than what they had heard from the religious leaders of the day.

They stepped outside of the boundaries of the norm.

Some people loved it. Some were baffled by it. Some were infuriated by it.

No matter what people thought or how they felt, His words were nothing but unadulterated truth; truth that cut through the religiosity of that day.

And for those who embraced Jesus the words He spoke, there was life in them.

That life was given by the Spirit of God. He made them more than just words falling out of the mouth of a teacher.

And, as Jesus said Himself, He only did and spoke what the Father told him to do and speak.

Are we looking for a fresh burst of life in our walk with God?

The words of Jesus are a great place to start. He will never steer us wrong.

Heed His words. Receive life.
