Today we read the last chapter of the Gospel of John. The resurrected Jesus forgives Peter for his triple denial, even as Jesus will always forgive us our sins when we repent. Thank you, Lord! Tomorrow we will begin reading the Gospel of Mark. 🙂
Today we read John 20. In the most amazing event in human history, Jesus Christ–100 percent man and 100 percent God–defeated death by rising from the dead. In so doing, He defeated your death too. All who believe in Him will spend eternity with Him in heaven, as real physical people in a new heaven and earth. We Christians can look forward to a wonderful future. And it is only possible because of what occurred on that first Easter morning!
Today we read John 19. Jesus is crucified–for your sins and mine, and for the sins of the whole world. Why was this written down? So that you may believe (verse 35)…
Today we read John 18. Sadly, the disciple Peter denies Jesus three times. We will read in John 21 that, after Jesus has risen from the dead, He will forgive Peter three times. Jesus always forgives us if we repent–no matter how great our sin. Praise God!
