Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 6 February 2024
Read vs.40-43 and evaluate the basis of your conviction about the lordship of Christ? As long as we remain nominal Christians, and base our convictions on human opinions, we may never come to full knowledge of Christ. That is why the promise made by Christ in vs.37-39 is a must for every believer (cf. 1 Corinthians 2:14; John 15:26).
What is another reliable basis of our conviction about Christ that you can see in v.42? In order not to be misdirected and confused, we must be guided by the scripture and the Holy Spirit (John 5:39). Ultimately, the depth of our conviction about the divine nature of Christ will determine the genuineness of our salvation.
Jealousy is a veil that can blindfold human eyes from seeing anything good in others. Notice the roles the religious leaders played in the persecutions of Jesus (vs.45-48). They refused to acknowledge His miracles, persuaded others not to (vs.47-48) and went further to falsely discredit Him as a Galilean (v.52).
What can we learn from the temple guards (vs.45-46) and Nicodemus (vs.50-51) in contrast to the religious leaders?
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Pray for all Christians all over the world who are undergoing persecution because of their devotion to the truth.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Romans 4:21
“And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.”
