Love And Destiny! Ark Channel 27/06/2022 Mon John 21a

Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord. (v12)

* The Lord commissioned Peter to be a shepherd and to die for Him. The example of a true shepherd is to feed His lamb and be willing to sacrifice for them. Are we following in the same footsteps?

John 21:1-14

* The ancient father Evagrius was convinced that tears are a gift from God to help people in prayer. He said: “One sits alone in a room and recites the Psalms, just like one who stands outside and asks for the King’s presence. But he who prays in tears is already in the temple, clutching the King’s feet and praying for mercy!”

He Calls His Sheep By Name! – Ark Channel 25/06/2022 Sat John 20a

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; … Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and put it into My side….” (v. 17, 27)

* It seems that Mary Magdalene had a totally different experience than Thomas’. They were trained in different ways by the Lord. In the end both enjoyed full peace because of our risen Lord (v. 21, 26, 27). Fortunately, Thomas was absent from meeting just on one Lord’s Day, not for two consecutive weeks.

Blood and water flowed from his sides! – Ark Channel 240622 Fri John 19b

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (v.30)

* From the perspective of mankind, an evil cartel set a trap for the Lord; from God’s perspective, “it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin” (Isaiah 53:10). Thanks be to the Lord for He took on our sin, accomplishing God’s wonderful salvation!

Failure Comes From Lacking Self-Awareness! Ark Channel 22/06/2022 Wed John 18b

Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed. (v27)

* Surrounded by darkness, Jesus the King who is supposed to judge, remained silent in the face of sinners. Peter failed. John remained as the only one who followed the Lord to the end in the midst of the upside down world!

John 18:19-40

* Ancient emperors aspired immortality. The immortal jellyfish is an amazing creature. It is able to revert back to childhood after reaching maturity. Theoretically this process can go on indefinitely but practically it will still die. Long life is not eternal life. Only God created us in His image and promised us eternal life.

Put Your Sword Into The Sheath! Ark Channel 210622 Tue John 18a

…“Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.” (v9)

John 17:14-26

* Is there a divine purpose in life’s turmoil? Historians look back at the Sino-Japanese war which forced Christians and university students in the coastal areas to move inland. There was a sudden influx of believers in different inland cities spreading the gospel as they went. Gathering and scattering people maybe God’s tools.

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. (v3)

* Jesus prayed for Himself (v.1-5). Then He prayed for His disciples (v.6-19). He also prayed for their disciples (v.20-26). He prays that we may all be one, that the evil one will be driven away, that we will be sanctified by truth.

In Me You may have Peace! – Ark Channel 18/06/2022 Saturday John 16b

… In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (v. 33)

* “Tribulation” and “labour for child birth” (v. 21) originate from the same word. Living in an age hostile to faith, it is inevitable for us to experience tribulation. Yet tribulation in this world is likened to labour pains, which are filled with hope to mature us and build up the church!

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (v.13)

* A friend is one whom we confide in, but a best friend is one for whom we will give our lives! The Lord says that those who obey what He commands is His friend! To have a friend in such a high place and know His mysteries is glorious and a blessing!
