SCRIPTURE: John (NIV) 17:6 “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
OBSERVATION: In the first chapter of John, Jesus is seen as the “Word” that became flesh. He is the word of the Father. His Words carried truth. Jesus carried the truth of the Heavenly Father. Jesus faithfully gave His disciples the “words” that the Father had given him. By what He said, by what he did, by how he lived among them He convinced them that He was sent from Father God. His Words carried the truth of the Father.
APPLICATION: Whose words flow from my mouth? Can people identify the source of my life from the words I speak? Some people I know are walking billboards for a certain football team, or a certain make of car. May my love and devotion to Jesus also be easily seen.
When I meet a stranger, without giving my testimony, how long does it take before they realize that I do not see things as the world sees them. How long does it take until Jesus is honored by something I say.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, you were sent to guide me into all truth. I pray that you would also guide me into only speaking truth. Guide me to speaking truth in ways and with words that are easy to understand. Amen
