John 13

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet

 ¹ It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

 ² The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. ³ Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; ⁴ so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. ⁵ After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Good Morning Everyone

Today is Monday August 22, 2011

The word of the day comes from Philippians 2:5-11 NIV

⁵ In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:  ⁶ Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; ⁷ rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!  ⁹ Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹ and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Word of the Day (8-8-11)

Good Morning Everyone

The word of the day comes from Romans 5:8

⁸ But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

My Interpretation

What I really love about this verse is that it doesn’t show anything that we did. The entire verse is about us without us having to do anything. There are certain times where my brain will begin (to no avail) to wrap around the concept of how much God loves us. Each one of us in our own way I’m sure can attest at some point in time, to feeling inadequate, undeserving, unworthy, not privileged, too guilty, too sinful, beyond help to be in the mere presence of God, let alone know that He would demonstrate the ULTIMATE ACT OF LOVE for us by giving His life for ours. It just doesn’t seem rational.

Word of the Day (8-5-11)

Good Morning Everyone

Today is Friday August 5, 2011

The word of the day comes a little different today. I was blessed as I opened my email and read a daily word that I receive from a friend as a forward. God has been doing some tremendous things in my life as of late (He is always doing tremendous things in my life but these are directly related to my prayers I keep sending Him). It just brought me comfort and reassurance of the path that God is laying before me reading today’s word. I know that others are on a mission for God and are being led, sometimes in directions we have an idea other times we don’t. Either way, continue to remember that God ultimately is ALWAYS in control and trust in the path that He has laid out before you. Be blessed during this lovely weekend!

Word of the Day (8-3-11)

Good Morning Everyone

Today is Wednesday August 3, 2011

The word of the day comes from Matthew 24:36-44

New International Version (NIV)

The Day and Hour Unknown

    ³⁶ “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. ³⁷ As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ³⁸ For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; ³⁹ and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰ Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. ⁴¹ Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

  ⁴² “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. ⁴³ But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. ⁴⁴ So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
