1KINGS 9-10:
The
temple was completed! And yesterday we heard Solomon’s very wise
prayer asking God to fulfill his promises and help the people of
Israel. In his prayer, he recognized that the people of Israel
would not be able to remain faithful to the Lord, but that they
would sin and then need to repent. Solomon asked God to forgive and
to hear the people in situations of sin and desperation because of
the Lord's punishment upon them.
PSALM 119:113-128:
Yesterday we read one of the frequently
memorized verses from this psalm:
Ps. 119:105 Your word is a lamp
to guide my feet
and
a light for my path.
JOHN 7a:
I
hope you noticed the deep meaning in John 6:56 and the application
which Jesus’ listeners could not understand— that is to the Lord's
Supper. Jesus says,
John 6:56 NLT “Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains [joined to//united with//in] me, and I [remain joined to//united with//in] him.”
This is the same meaning of ‘in Him’ that we will see in John chapter 15. And Jesus also said,
58 I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but [anyone who eats this bread] will live forever.”
And Peter made one of his best and most quotable statements when Jesus asked the twelve if they also would leave:
68 … Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.
69 We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God.”
