Daily Bible Reading – February 2023, "God’s Saving Word: Love"નમૂનો

February 13

Introduction

The disciples of John the Baptist speak to him about those who are being baptized by Jesus and following him. John acknowledges that his own ministry must now decrease as the ministry of Jesus increases.

Scripture Reading

John 3:22-36

Today’s Key Verse: John 3:34

The one whom God has sent speaks God’s words, because God gives him the fullness of his Spirit.

Reflect

In today’s reading, the ministries of Jesus and John appear to occur simultaneously. How does John react to what his disciples tell him? What are your thoughts about John’s words in verses 29 and 30? How are his words an indication of his faithfulness and witness?

Pray

Lord Jesus, I rejoice with you when others accept you as their Savior. Like John the Baptist, my happiness is complete when I hear and obey your voice. Amen.

And now, join us in thanking God that the Bible is reaching people in impoverished and remote areas in Bangladesh. Loving God, in Bangladesh, one in every four people live below the poverty line, and one in three cannot read. Thanks to Bible-A-Month Partners, these people are now receiving their own audio Bibles in their heart language, Bangla, and receiving comfort and strength from their daily engagement with Scripture. Many have joined audio Bible listening groups in their local villages, and we thank and praise you, Lord God, that your Word is introducing people to Christ and changing lives. Amen.
