Day 2 for Someone

John 1:22-43  (TLV) 

22 So they said to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 He said, “I am ‘the voice of one crying in the wilderness, “Make straight the way of Adonai,”’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Now those sent were from the Pharisees.
 25 They asked him, “If you’re not the Messiah, Elijah, or the Prophet, why then are you immersing?”
26 “I immerse in water,” John answered. “Among you stands One you do not know,
 27 coming after me, whose sandals I’m not worthy to untie.”
 28 These things happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29 The next day, John sees Yeshua coming to him and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
 30 This is the One about whom I told you, ‘He who comes after me is above me, because He was before me.’
 31 I didn’t know Him, but I came immersing with water so that He might be revealed to Israel.”
32 Then John testified, “I have seen the Ruach coming down like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on Him.
33 I did not know Him; but the One who sent me to immerse in water said to me, ‘The One on whom you see the Ruach coming down and remaining, this is the One who immerses in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.’
 34 And I have seen and testified that this is Ben-Elohim.”
35 Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples
36 and watched Yeshua walking by. He said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.
38 Yeshua turned around and saw them following. He said to them, “What are you looking for?”They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is translated Teacher), “where are you staying?”
39 “Come and see,” Yeshua tells them. So they came and saw where He was staying, and they spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John speak and followed Yeshua.
 41 First he finds his own brother Simon and tells him, “We’ve found the Messiah!” (which is translated Anointed One).
42 Andrew brought Simon to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him and said, “You are Simon, son of John. You shall be called Kefa (which is translated Peter).”
43 The next day, Yeshua decided to go to the Galilee. He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me!” source

Someone

Approximate Reading Time: 2 minutes.

A mission for someone. Someone needing some fellowship with GOD.

The Gospel of John.

For the next 21 days, every day. No taking the weekends off.
Beginning with chapter one, verse one.  The Gospel of John.
Read not less than 21 verses.
Each day before you begin reading, pray.
Ask the HOLY SPIRIT to show you something you have not noticed before AND ask Him to give you a hunger for His Word.

1 In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
 2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 All things were made through Him, and apart from Him nothing was made that has come into being.
 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
 7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that through him everyone might believe.
 8 He was not the light, but he came to bear witness concerning the light.
 9 The true light, coming into the world, gives light to every man.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him; but the world did not know Him.
 11 He came to His own, but His own did not receive Him.
 12 But whoever did receive Him, those trusting in His name, to these He gave the right to become children of God.
 13 They were born not of a bloodline, nor of human desire, nor of man’s will, but of God.
 14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. We looked upon His glory, the glory of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John testifies about Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘The One who comes after me is above me, because He existed before me.’”
 16 Out of His fullness, we have all received grace on top of grace.
 17 Torah was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.
 18 No one has ever seen God; but the one and only God, in the Father’s embrace, has made Him known.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Judean leaders sent kohanim and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 He openly admitted and did not deny; he admitted, “I am not the Messiah.”
21 “What then? Are you Elijah?” they asked him. “I am not,” said John. “Are you the Prophet?” “No,” he answered.  source

Why? To give someone a start down the Road of Communion with the Savior.

Salad or Spoon

Gallery Leave a comment

Last evening was group study night. We pool dishes of food and the combination is always a feast for us young and older suburban women. My contribution this time was a Superfood Salad. 

So with my Sweet Kale salad mixed in a crystal bowl and a fine, fancy-designed, and crafted spoon for serving, I was all set – expecting at least one lady to notice my unique spoon.

Nope. Just the salad. The salad was all they could talk about.  How did I make it?  What’s in it?
Open the bag and mix.
Broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale, chicory, dried cranberries, roasted pumpkin seeds, and a poppy-seed dressing.
Where can we buy it? I got it at that place everybody complains about going but goes anyway. You know the place.
On they went: This is so good! And to think it is healthy! Not a word about the spoon!

As it should be!

Now. Let’s say we are the spoon and JESUS is the salad. Which one should the questions be about?

Oh, HOLY SPIRIT, make me a spoon and The LORD JESUS all the people talk about when the message is served.

John 3:27 John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah,’ but rather, ‘I am sent before Him.’ 29 The one who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the best man rejoices when he stands and hears the bridegroom’s voice. So now my joy is complete! 30 He must increase, while I must decrease.”  source
