Daily Bible Reading – April 2022: God’s Renewing Word of HopeНамуна
April 8
Introduction
The raising of Lazarus causes division among the Jews, and the religious authorities make plans to arrest and kill Jesus.
Scripture Reading
John 11:45-57
Today’s Key Verse: John 11:45
Many of the people who had come to visit Mary saw what Jesus did, and they believed in him.
Reflect
The religious leaders were afraid that Jesus would lead his followers to rebel against Rome and that the Roman army would then destroy their nation and the Temple. They were also afraid that, if many people started to follow Jesus and his teachings, their own power would be lessened. What are your thoughts about the debate that took place among the religious leaders and the Council (verses 47-50)?
Pray
I love you, Lord Jesus. Empower me with the courage to proclaim your love and salvation to others and give glory to you. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
John 12:1-11: Jesus is anointed at Bethany.
