THAT WHICH WAS FROM THE BEGINNING – SEEN WITH OUR EYES OUR HAND HAVE TOUCHED / 1 JOHN 1:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:1

 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

THAT WHICH WAS FROM THE BEGINNING – SEEN WITH OUR EYES OUR HAND HAVE TOUCHED / 1 JOHN 1:1

THAT WHICH WAS FROM THE BEGINNING

John introduces this letter (1 John 1:1-4) in a way that is similar to the introduction of his Gospel (his narrative account of Jesus’ life; John 1:1-2).

SEEN WITH OUR EYES … OUR HANDS HAVE TOUCHED

John begins the letter with the witness of his personal knowledge of Jesus. He can confirm the fact that the One who existed from eternity “became flesh” (a real flesh-and-blood man, John 1:14). He was true God and true man (Hebrews 2:14). This testimony directly contradicts a false teaching that was circulated, which denied that Jesus is the Christ (the promised Savior from God) and that Christ truly existed in physical form. This false teaching was an early form of Gnosticism, which taught that “spirit” (the spirit realm) is basically good, while “matter” (the physical world) is basically evil. This led to the belief that salvation was achieved through escape from the body, which came not by faith in Christ, but by special knowledge (the Greek word for “knowledge” is gnosis). This incorrect belief caused some people to reject Jesus’ true humanity (1 John 2:22-23; 4:3) and led to other strange ideas, such as the thought that Jesus only appeared to have a physical body rather than actually having a physical body. John directly refutes these ideas by clearly describing Jesus as the Son of God in physical human form (1 John 1:1; 2:22; 4:2-3).

SHE LOVED MUCH / LUKE 7:47

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:47

 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

SHE LOVED MUCH / LUKE 7:47

Real love for and devotion to Jesus come from a deep awareness of (a) the sinfulness of our past condition apart from Christ, (b) His love for us revealed when He gave His life on the cross and (c) the inner assurance that we are now forgiven and cared for by God Himself. Faith that is not based on these foundations will not endure.

WEEPING / LUKE 7:37-38

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:37-38

 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

WEEPING / LUKE 7:37-38

Because of her love for Jesus, this woman is willing to humble herself and wet His feet with her tears, taking no thought of what others might think of her. A person’s weeping can reveal a range of things. It can be an expression of sorrow and grief, joy and elation, or of grateful love for Christ.

  1. By weeping in prayer and faith, believers can often express to God what is in their hearts, without using words. The Lord values such tears as if they are an offering or act of service to Him (Luke 7:34-50; Psalms 126:5-6; Jeremiah 9:1; 14:17; 31:15-16; Acts 20:19, 31; 2 Corinthians 2:4; Nehemiah 8:9). Tears are sometimes evidence of identifying with Christ as one endures rejection and shares in His sufferings (2 Corinthians 1:5; Philippians 3:10; 1 Peter 4:13).
  2. Christ Himself wept with compassion for spiritually lost people (Luke 19:40-41; John 11:35). The apostle Paul (a pioneer missionary who started many New Testament churches and wrote many of the New Testament letters or “books”) served the Lord with many tears: tears of joy over those who had believed on Christ and tears of grief over those who had not (Acts 20:19; 2 Corinthians 2:4). Even today God’s people who weep are considered blessed and will eventually find joy (Luke 6:21). In Christ’s future eternal kingdom, God will wipe away all tears from the eyes of His people (He will do away with all reasons for sorrow, grief and pain, Revelation 7:17; Revelation 21:4). For more concerning prayer and tears, read 2 Kings 20:5; Psalms 39:12; Psalms 56:8).

WISDOM IS PROVED RIGHT BY ALL HER CHILDREN / LUKE 7:35

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:35

 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

WISDOM IS PROVED RIGHT BY ALL HER CHILDREN / LUKE 7:35

In contrast to the foolish critics, spiritually wise people could see from the results that the ministries of both Jesus and John were truly godly and complemented each other, despite their somewhat different approaches (John was the one sent to prepare the way for Jesus Luke 7:27).

GLUTTON AND A DRUNKARD / LUKE 7:34

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:34

The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

GLUTTON AND A DRUNKARD / LUKE 7:34

The Greek word for wine (oinos) in the New Testament was a general word that may be used for all kinds of wine, both unfermented and fermented. (Fermentation is the bio-chemical process by which yeast acts on sugars, breaking them down into alcohol, causing a beverage to become potentially intoxicating.) Jesus’ statement suggests that He drank some types of wine, while John did not. However, it cannot be determined from this passage what types of wine He drank since the Pharisees’ allegations concerning Jesus’ character are clearly false. They accuse Jesus of being a glutton and a drunkard, but these statements were designed to destroy His influence as a teacher of truth (Matthew 12:24; John 7:20; 8:48). The Bible clearly condemns drunkenness (Proverbs 20:1; 23:31; Ephesians 5:18; Romans 13:13; 1 Corinthians 5:11; 6:10; 1 Peter 4:3; Proverbs 23:31).

A REED SWAYED / LUKE 7:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:24

 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

A REED SWAYED / LUKE 7:24

Though John was in a seemingly hopeless situation that would certainly lead to his death, Jesus sent a reply to keep him from being overcome with discouragement (Luke 7:23). He then went on to praise John’s life and character. (Matthew 11:7).

HIS HEART WENT OUT TO HER / LUKE 7:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:13

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

HIS HEART WENT OUT TO HER / LUKE 7:13

Jesus’ compassion for this widow shows that God has a special love care for widows or for any person who is left alone in the world. Scripture teaches the following:

  1. God is a Father to the fatherless and a defender of widows (Psalms 68:5). They are under His special care and protection (Exodus 22:22-24; Deuteronomy 10:18; Psalms 146:9; Proverbs 15:25).
  2. Through giving God’s tithe (a tenth of one’s income to be reserved for God’s work) and the generosity of His people, God gives us the opportunity to help provide for the fatherless and the widows (Deuteronomy 14:28-29; 24:19-21; 26:12-12). 
  3. God blesses those who help and honor those in need (Isaiah 1:17, 19; Jeremiah 7:6-7; 22:3-4).
  4. God opposes those who take advantage of or hurt widows or orphans (Exodus 22:22-24; Deuteronomy 24:17; 27:19; Job 24:3; Psalms 94:6, 16; Zechariah 7:10).
  5. Widows are recipients of God’s tender love and compassion (Luke 7:11-17; 18;2-8; 21:2-4; Mark 12:42-43). 
  6. The early church made it a priority to care for widows (Acts 6:1-6).
  7. One area of consideration in true faith is to look after orphans and widows in times of difficulty or distress (James 1:27; 1 Timothy 5:3-8).

THIS THIRD I WILL BRING INTO THE FIRE / ZECHARIAH 13:8-9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. 9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

THIS THIRD I WILL BRING INTO THE FIRE / ZECHARIAH 13:8-9

These verses probably refer to the tribulation period when God executes His severe end-time judgements on the world. The unbelieving Jews (two-thirds) will be killed (Zechariah 13:8); only one-third will be left. These people are the ones who will “look on…the one they have pierced” (Zechariah 12:10-14). That means only the faithful and God-believing portion of Israel will be saved (Revelation 11 – 18).

SWORD … STRIKE THE SHEPHERD / ZECHARIAH 13:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 13:7

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

SWORD … STRIKE THE SHEPHERD / ZECHARIAH 13:7

In this prophetic view of the future, the shepherd is the Messiah, Christ. 

  1. God calls the shepherd a “man who is close to me” (my equal, my associate), which suggests that He is speaking of the Messiah (the “Anointed One,” Savior, Deliverer from God), who is God’s Son.

The Shepherd-Messiah would be struck (wounded, killed, crucified, Matthew 27:26; Matthew 27:31; Matthew 27:35). His disciples then would be scattered like sheep (Matthew 26:31; Matthew 26:56; Mark 14:27). This prophecy may also point toward the scattering of the Jewish nation after the destruction by the Romans in A.D. 70.

WOUNDS ON YOUR BODY / ZECHARIAH 13:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 13:6

And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

WOUNDS ON YOUR BODY / ZECHARIAH 13:6

These wounds are probably injuries the worshipers inflicted on themselves as part of the rituals of idol worship (Zechariah 13:2-5). Many rituals to false gods have involved worshipers cutting, beating and abusing themselves.
