Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 26 February 2023
Vs.30-32. Why do you think Jesus did not want anyone to know about His movement? Are there periods you also need to have some quality time with those who are closest to you? What difference did this time alone with Jesus make to the disciples? Had the Lord Jesus wasted His time? Not at all. A seed was planted. Keep sowing the Word of God in your children and your wards. The time of harvest will surely come.
Vs.33-37. Notice the preoccupation of the disciples. Do you feel disappointed? Do we not see similar tendencies among us today? Debates about who is the more anointed leader or preacher or which denomination is the best? Observe how Jesus responds to the situation (vs.36-37). Our concern should be how to impact the next generation for Christ, never quarrelling over positions.
Vs 38-41. How often do we behave like John in v.38? Do you criticise those who do not belong to your church or fellowship group but who are demonstrating genuine power in the name of Jesus? At the root of such attitude is the same competitive spirit (cf. v.28). Often, we Christians leave the enemy untouched but expend all our energy fighting one another.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Lord, may I seek to please you and promote your kingdom in all I do and say.
