They Believed Not

JUNE 9, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Kings 23-24 / John 14

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    It seems that many people today are chasing the signs and wonders. Whoever puts on the best show is the one who draws the largest crowds. You would think that with the coliseums filled with people watching such things, most people in the US would be saved. Yet currently, sinfulness seems to be worse.

 

    It was the same in Jesus’ day. People wanted a sign. Yet, when Jesus Himself performed miracles, they still did not believe on Him. Friend, it is not the signs and wonders that will change a life. It is the deep-down realization that we are sinners who need a Saviour. It is trusting Jesus as the Lamb of God who sacrificed for our sin. It is placing our faith on what He did on the cross.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Does the world really need another sign?

His Crime Was LIFE

JUNE 8, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Kings 20-22 / John 13:18-38

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 12:10-11 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    As we read in John 12, we find the chief priests thought about killing Lazarus. For what? His crime was the fact that when Jesus called to him to come back to life, he obeyed and came back to life. His crime, therefore, was nothing more than LIVING!

    Today, many people do not like Christians. Why is that? It is because when we heard the voice of the Saviour calling to our souls to be saved and receive life, we obeyed the call and received eternal life. Many of us have gone another step beyond. Some of us have tried to help others find REAL LIFE as well. Our greatest crime is loving LIFE.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

If that were the charge against you today, would you be found guilty?

Still Trying To Kill Jesus

JUNE 6 & 7, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Kings 18-19 / John 13:1-17

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    It may be shocking to think that men would get together and plot to kill the very Son of God. Just the thought of it seems wrong. Yet we read that they did.

    It may seem even more unimaginable to think men today are still plotting to try to kill Jesus. Maybe not physically, but an assassination just the same. How, you might ask? Well, the Bible says in John 1:1, Jesus was and is the Word of God. Today, we have people everywhere trying to disprove or at least discredit the Word of God. When they do, they are attempting to kill the power of the Word. We know that they will also fail, as the bible says in Luke 21:33, “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Isn’t it good to know Jesus never fails?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message. Then, when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading. God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.

Eternal And Never

JUNE 5, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Kings 16-17 / John 12:23-50

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Jesus said He is the way of salvation. His love for man was displayed in the same way that we see God the Father displaying His love. When God loves, God gives. (Check out John 3:16.) Jesus said, “And I give unto them eternal life.” What a great promise and gift. Then, to be sure He was clear about what “eternal” meant, He said, “and they shall never perish.”

 

    I am so glad Jesus made it clear as to what happens with His sheep. When we enter the sheepfold of Christ, we are given eternal life, and He said we shall never perish. We will be disciplined at times. However, we cannot run away, and no one can take us away from God. NO One!  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Don’t Eternal and Never sound like great words when they come from Christ?

One Fold

JUNE 4, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Kings 14-15 / John 12:1-22

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    I love it when Jesus talks about me in the bible. I almost get goosebumps. In today’s passage, while Jesus was talking to the Jewish Pharisees about the fact that He was the way of salvation, He tossed in a verse that spoke about ME! OK, I cannot be so self-centered… He spoke of you, too, if you are saved.

    He said, “I have sheep which are not of this fold.” In other words, people who are not Jewish. That’s me! Then He went on to say He was going to bring us all together to be part of one fold. That, my friend, is not a Jewish or Gentile fold; it is the fold of the Born Again in Christ Jesus. That’s me too! People from every tribe and nation will be in this fold.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Did you hear his voice one day and become part of His fold with us?
