Reading your Bible for today December 10

December 10: John 14:6-11

KJV Key Verse: John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way of the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Devotion:
Despite how many times Jesus had told the disciples that He must die and rise up again, they just did not get it! How could anyone die and after they are dead, raise themselves up again! Granted, He was powerful enough to do wonderful miracles, but how was He going to achieve this? And where was He talking about going... somewhere where they knew?

There are many times when we too do forget just how awesome the Power of God is! We cannot hope to be able to understand the enormity of His Power and Grace; but we do know He is sufficient for us. We do not need anything else other than God. We do not need to depend on anyone else. We do not need anything to get to heaven other than Jesus Christ who’s love and support we already have! You may think your faith would be increased if you were able to see Jesus, but have a think about it. If you did see Him face to face, then there would be no need for faith, because it would be a proven fact! The disciples saw Jesus face to face, and yet they had problems believing in everything Jesus said... until He had done them!

Whilst we are here on earth, we need to have faith that what is written in the Bible is actually The Word of God and we need nothing else besides that! We need to display our faith by trusting in His Word, by believing in His Word and by following His Word. We need to have this faith so when our time comes, we will indeed meet Him face to face!

The disciples were asked to have faith in what Jesus was about to do. They too had a hard time with things – just as we do have a hard time with some of the wonders we read about in the Bible. But as long as we have that grain of faith, we can depend on His Word to give us the absolute and complete truth! Jesus has already proven what He told the disciples here; isn't it time to show others we have faith in His Word?

Points to Ponder:
Do you believe what you write in your own diary?

Why not believe in the absolute truth?
