1KINGS 6-7:
Yesterday we heard of the incredible size and
wealth of Solomon's dominion. His wisdom in the organization is
evident. During his reign, Israel was prosperous as never before or
afterward. Solomon contracted with King Hiram of Sidon to get the
materials needed for the construction of the temple.
PSALM 119.81-96:
God
is telling us how important His Word is! Here are two favorite
verses from yesterday’s reading:
Ps. 119:72 GNT The law that you gave means more to me than all the money in the world.
78 May the proud be ashamed for
falsely accusing me; as for me, I will meditate on your
instructions.
JOHN
6a:
In John yesterday we heard of Jesus'
relationship with God, His Father, and that God has given authority
to the Son to judge all mankind. The Son has also been given the
authority to give life after death. Jesus talked about the various
entities who witness or give testimony about Himself. This is
important because, in Jewish Law and culture, assertions needed to
be supported by at least two witnesses. The witnesses who support
Jesus are John the Baptist, his miracles, his teachings, and in the
background, his Father and Moses.
GNT Translation notes:
John 6:28 Jesus answered, “What God wants you to do is to believe in [Me,] the one He sent.”
