April 11
Introduction
Even though Jesus had performed miracles in the presence of the people, there were those who did not believe in him. The reading concludes with a summary of Jesus’s teachings and affirms that Jesus came to offer believers eternal life.
Scripture Reading
John 12:36b-50
Today’s Key Verse: John 12:44
Jesus said in a loud voice, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in him who sent me.”
Reflect
According to verse 42, many Jewish authorities believed in Jesus but did not confess it openly. What was their reason? Reread verses 44-50. How does believing in Jesus impact your life?
Pray
Lord Jesus, I believe in you and the eternal life you offer. You are the true light that has come into the world. I seek to follow you. Thank you for calling me out of darkness into your light. Amen.
And now, join us in celebrating the first Vili New Testament in Congo: Sovereign God, we rejoice with the Vili people for the arrival of the first Vili New Testament last year, after 15 years of translation efforts. For thousands of Vili speakers, this is the first time they can read the Bible in their heart language, and this new translation will help to strengthen their faith as well as increase literacy. We pray for the ongoing work to complete a Vili translation of the Old Testament by 2029. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
John 18:1-18: Jesus is arrested.
