WHOEVER REJECTS / JOHN 3:36

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 3:36

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

WHOEVER REJECTS / JOHN 3:36

The Greek word translated “rejects” is apeitheo and means to “disregard [turn attention away from] and disobey” or “not submit to.” It carries the meaning of “apathy,” or lack of concern. This word is contrasted with “whoever believes” (Greek pisteuo), which speaks of eager acceptance, obedience and active submission. For John, unbelief means to “reject the Son,” or to disobey Him. Faith and obedience are words that can be used in place of each other because they both have to do with actively trusting and following Christ (compare Romans 1:8 with Romans 16:19; 1 Thessalonians 1:8; Romans 15:18). In relation to God, a person cannot truly have faith without obedience not obedience without faith. Spiritual salvation comes as a free gift to those who receive Christ (Romans 5:15-16; 6:23), but once accepted it does not leave us free to do as we please. Those who are truly saved will continue to submit to God (Romans 10:3), live by His standards and develop Christlike character traits (John 1:5).

LOVED DARKNESS INSTEAD OF LIGHT / JOHN 3:19

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 3:19

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

LOVED DARKNESS INSTEAD OF LIGHT / JOHN 3:19

A basic characteristic of the wicked – those who reject Christ – is that they love darkness. This means that they take pleasure in immoral behaviors – theirs and that of others. They are not concerned about defying God’s standards of right and truth (Romans 1:18-32; Philippians 3:19; 2 Timothy 3:2-5; 2 Peter 2:12-15). Truly born-again persons are just the opposite (John 3:16). They love what is right and true and take pleasure in doing what pleases God (1 Corinthians 13:6). They hate wickedness (Hebrews 1:9) and feel a deep sense of sorrow when people reject God and defy His standards. They definitely do not take pleasure in the activities that encourage lust or the open display of ungodly behavior that is common in contemporary society (Psalms 97:10; Proverbs 8:13; Romans 12:9; 2 Peter 2:8; Revelation 2:6).

GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD /JOHN 3:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD /JOHN 3:16

This verse reveals the heart and purpose of God – the great truth that motivated His plan of salvation for humankind.

  1. God’s love is deep and wide enough to embrace all persons, “the world” (1 Timothy 2:4).
  2. God “gave” His Son (who also gave Himself willingly, John 10:17-18) as an offering to pay the price for the sin (offenses and rebellion against God) of all humanity. This act was on of complete, undeserved love. God did not have to provide this sacrifice for us; it was not something forced upon Him (Romans 8:32; 1 John 4:10).
  3. To believe (Greek pisteuo) includes three main elements: (a) a faith and confidence that Jesus Christ is God’s San and the only Savior for spiritually lost humanity; (b) an act of surrender that turns over to Christ the leadership of one’s life and a attitude of submission that continues to obey Christ (John 15:1-10; 14:21; 15:4); (c) the trust and assurance that Christ is both able and willing to complete a person’s salvation by bringing him or her to live with Him forever in heaven. Keep in mind that to “believe” in the true Biblical sense is not just a mental exercise; it is an active trust that surrenders the leadership on one’s life to Christ (John 1:12). Real faith continues to show trust through selfless action, obedience and service (James 2:14-16).
  4. “Perish” is a term in John 3:16 that can be easily overlooked in the context of the wonderful gift of grace God offers. It is the tragic consequence of rejecting God (not believing in Him, not surrendering our lives to His leadership, not accepting His gifts of forgiveness and eternal life). To parish does not point to physical death but to the dreadful reality of spiritual death (permanent separation from God) and eternal punishment (Matthew 10:28).
  5. “Eternal life” is God’s gift to those who accept Christ’s sacrifice and forgiveness for sins and become “born again” spiritually. It is not something that can be earned by good works or personal effort; it is a gift that must be received. “Eternal” is more than simply living forever; it is a quality of existence that begins even in this life – it is the opportunity to know God now (John 17:3). It is a life that frees us from the power of sin and Satan and allows us to live spiritually beyond earthly things in order to develop and eternal relationship with God (John 8:34-36; 17:3).

KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES / JOHN 13:35

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 13:35

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES / JOHN 13:35

True godly love (Greek agape) must be the mark of distinction for Christ’s followers (1 John 3:23; 4:7-21). This agape love is basically a self-giving and sacrificial love that seeks and promotes the good of others (1 John 4:9-10). Relationships among Christians must be characterized by this kind of love and devotion. If this type of love is missing, people outside the church will not get an accurate picture of Christ’s love and may see no reason to consider being part of His church. Christians must befriend each other through difficulties, be careful of each other’s feelings and reputations and put aside their own interests in order to promote each other’s welfare (1 Corinthians 13; Galatians 6:2; 1 Thessalonians 4:9; 2 Thessalonians 1:3; 1 Peter 1:22; 2 Peter 1:7; 1 John 3:23).

LOVE ONE ANOTHER / JOHN 13:34

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 13:34

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER / JOHN 13:34

Christ’s followers are commanded to love each other in a special way, though they may not belong to the same local church or denomination or may not agree on certain issues.

  1. Believers must distinguish true Christians from those who only pretend to follow Jesus by examining their love for and obedience to Christ and their loyalty to God’s Word (John 5:24; 8:31; 10:27; Matthew 7:21; Galatians 1:9).
  2. Any person who has a true and active faith in Jesus Christ and remains loyal to the authority of God’s Word (as revealed by the Holy Spirit through prayer and earnest study of the Bible) is a brother or sister in God’s family. Those who are willing to stand for Christ and resist the popular but ungodly beliefs and behaviors of our day deserve special love and support from one another.
  3. Loving all true Christians, including those outside of our local church or fellowship, does not mean that we must compromise our specific Biblical beliefs or agree totally with their doctrine. While these things should not divide us and prevent us from accomplishing our highest mission of leading others to accept the truth of Christ, we do not necessarily have to agree or come together on all issues of faith and organization.
  4. Christians must never compromise God’s holiness (purity, spiritual integrity and separation from evil) for the sake of a false unity. Loving God and His purposes as revealed in His Word will enable us to show God’s love to others – especially to those who believe differently than we do. Love for God must always be the top priority (Matthew 22:37, 39).

PIECE OF BREAD / JOHN 13:26

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 13:26

Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

PIECE OF BREAD / JOHN 13:26

Jesus’ giving the piece of bread to Judas would have normally been an act of honor, but perhaps at this time it was a final appeal to turn from his evil plan. Judas, however, refused to change his mind, and Satan took control (John 13:27; Luke 22:3).

AT A LOSS TO KNOW WHICH OF THEM HE MEANT / JOHN 13:22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 13:22

Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

AT A LOSS TO KNOW WHICH OF THEM HE MEANT / JOHN 13:22

It is important to note that prior to Judas’ final act of betrayal, the other disciples never recognized his disloyalty and deceit. He had covered his hypocrisy very well. Even today there will be those in the church who outwardly appear right and sincere, yet inwardly they are not truly faithful and devoted to Christ.

WASH ONE ANOTHER’S FEET / JOHN 13:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 13:14

If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

WASH ONE ANOTHER’S FEET / JOHN 13:14

The early church appears to have followed Jesus’ example and literally obeyed His command to humbly wash one another’s feet. For example, in 1 Timothy 5:10 Paul states that widows would qualify for special care by the church only if they followed certain standards and actions. One of those acts was “washing the feet of the saints.” God’s blessings always depend on putting His Word into practice (John 13:17).

UNLESS I WASH YOU / JOHN 13:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 13:8

Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

UNLESS I WASH YOU / JOHN 13:8

These words refer to a spiritual washing which cleanses a person from sin and guilt. Christ’s death on the cross would make this cleansing available for all. How ever, only those who admit their offenses against God, turn from their own way, surrender their lives to Christ and follow God’s purposes for their lives will receive this cleansing. Apart from this washing, no one can truly belong to Christ (1 John 1:7) and experience the life and purpose He has planned for them.

WASH HIS DISCIPLES FEET / JOHN 13:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 13:5

After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

WASH HIS DISCIPLES FEET / JOHN 13:5

This dramatic act of foot washing, typically performed by servants, occurred on the last night of Jesus life on earth, Jesus did it

  1. to demonstrate to His disciples how much He loved them;
  2. to foreshadow (symbolically predict) His self-sacrifice on the cross; and
  3. to convey the truth that those who follow Him must humbly serve one another. A desire to be great had continually plagued the disciples (Matthew 18:1-4; 20:20-27; Luke 9:46-48). Christ wanted them to see that the desire to be first – to be superior and honored above others – is exactly the opposite of a Chrislike attitude, which He wanted them to imitate (Luke 22:24-30; John 13:12-17; 1 Peter 5:5).
