Daily Bible Reading–January 2021 God's Word of LifeEsimerkki

January 28

Introduction

Jesus continues to describe his relationship with his followers. Some of the people ask if he is the Messiah, and Jesus responds by declaring that the deeds he does by his Father’s authority speak on his behalf. Some of the people attempt to stone him, whereas many other people believe in him.

Today's Scripture Reading 

John 10:22-42

Today’s Key Verse: John 10:27

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me.”

Reflect

How does Jesus respond when asked if he is the Messiah (verses 25-30)? Why do people want to stone him (verse 33)? How does Jesus respond (verses 34-38)? Reread verses 27 and 28. What reassurance does Jesus give his followers? Is there someone you know who needs to hear these comforting words today?

Pray

Loving Jesus, as one of your sheep, you know my name. I thank you for eternal life with you and the assurance that no one can ever snatch me away from you. Help me to listen to your voice so that I always follow you. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are being led astray by false teachings
