John 8:24, NIV
I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.” John 8:24, NIV Jesus is the Messiah. He is the one who can rescue us from eternal condemnation. We need to remember that we are all sinners, and we can never save ourselves. God is holy, and He is just. Every sin requires punishment, and Jesus took that cup so that we would be saved. Those who believe in Him will receive His undeserving grace. He will call them His people, and He will reign in their lives. So don’t rely on your own…

John 8: 12, NIV
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12, NIV If you feel like you are walking in the darkness right now, then call upon Jesus. He is the light of this world. People tend to focus on other things and somehow treat temporary treasures as their source of hope. But always keep this in mind; Jesus is the light that we are looking for. He alone can lead us to better days. So instead of relying on your own understanding and on the wealth of…

Luke 19 :1-4, NIV
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he [Zacchaeus] ran ahead and climbed a sycamore- fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. Luke 19: 1-4, NIV Zacchaeus was viewed as a terrible sinner during his time. His work as a chief tax collector is almost equivalent to a corrupt politician in our days. People despised his ways, and he was treated as an outcast because of that. Despite his wealth…

John 8:7
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7, NIV The crowd presented this adulterous woman to Jesus and tried to condemn her. During that time, a person who is caught in the act of adultery will be stoned and put to death. But instead of doing such a thing, Jesus asked those who are pure and imperfect to cast the first stone. The truth is, only our Savior has the right to condemn and judge because He is the only one who is pure and…

John 7:38
Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. John 7:38, NIV If you are thirsty and weary, if your soul is craving for things that this world can’t provide, then come to Jesus. He is the only one who can satisfy your thirst. In Him, you will receive living water. He will take away the emptiness in your heart and give you reasons to live. This world may give you temporary treasures, but God is the only one who can make you whole. So instead of focusing on gaining wealth that will only last for a lifetime, choose to fix your…

John 7:5
For even his own brothers did not believe in him. John 7:5, NIV Jesus’ brothers didn’t believe in Him. He worked so many miracles. He was followed by so many people. He healed the sick and performed signs and wonders. Thousands of followers long to listen to Him, but then His family here on earth didn’t trust Him enough. You see, even Jesus experienced persecutions from His own brothers. Many times, the people who are closest to us tend to doubt the things that God is doing in our lives. When that happens, just remember that Jesus also went through the same pain. Yet He didn’t stop. He kept on…

Day 488 – John 6:38
For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. John 6:38, NIV Jesus came here on earth to do the Father’s will. He did everything that God asked Him to do, even if it cost Him His life. He received the pain and the suffering just to fulfill what’s written in the scripture. You see, Jesus didn’t live according to His own will. He humbly depends on our Heavenly Father. He chose to walk on the path that our Father wants Him to follow. May what Jesus did remind us to also obey God. Let’s humbly follow…

Day 483 – John 4:14
But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:14, NIV You will never run dry if you drink in the well of God. It’s like a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Jesus will fill the emptiness in your heart and give you true life. So if you feel so thirsty and dry right now, if it seems like your soul is in the darkness, and you can’t find your way out. Then come to Jesus and remember that you can always trust in Him.…

Day 482 – John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. John 3:36, NIV Jesus alone can give us a chance to experience eternal life. It’s His sacrifice on the cross that opened the doors of heaven. He became the blameless lamb who took away the sins of this world. Without His precious blood, we won’t be able to have access to heaven. We will never experience what true life is because even here on earth, we will be given a chance to experience the Holy Spirit as long as we receive Him as our Savior. Whoever rejects…

Day 481 – John 3:30
He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3: 30 This is what John said about Jesus. He knew that His purpose here on earth was to prepare the way for the Messiah. He was aware that He was not greater than our Savior. In fact, He must become less so that Jesus will be glorified in His life. Just like John, we are also called to be God’s messenger to those who are lost and broken. We are here to also glorify Jesus in our lives. Let’s always remember what John said. Let’s choose to lift up Jesus despite the things that we’ve been through. Let His light…
