John 2
Key verse: John 2:23-25, “Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.”
Reflection: In a different version of the Bible in verse 25 it says “He did not need man’s testimony about man”. God does not need us, we need Him. God is going to do what has to be done with or without us. We have to be willing to be used by Him. Jesus knew the people’s hearts and knew why they believed in Him and whether or not it was real. Jesus knows our motives and our hearts. Kind of scary thinking about the most powerful being knowing everything about us and we still can not comprehend half of how powerful He is. God has the power to kill us in one instant but chooses not to, instead He sent His son to die for us and to live on this wicked world with people who killed Him and treated Him with anything but reverence. He sent His some to love us and give us eternal life forever. God knows our hearts and motives no matter what. Just remember God can see everything we do, hear everything we say, and knows everything we think. God knows our hearts.
Prayer: My prayer for today is that people realize how powerful, how merciful, how loving, how knowing and how awesome you are. I wish people could see how amazing you are and how you know our hearts either way and you are the only one who knows us completely and will never forsake us even when everyone else has. I pray that everyone will know your name!
