Guided reflection:
This is a great passage to help us understand how God (in heaven) worked with Jesus (God on earth)… they are one! They do not do things apart from each other. Vs 24 – if we believe in the words of Jesus, then we do not have to worry about judgment, we are forgiven and set free! These words are our source of life! Again, we do not have to focus on being afraid to be condemned if we can focus on falling in love with Jesus and believing that He is Immanuel, God with us! Do you believe? Have you read enough to believe that Jesus was sent by God to be our savior? Then, hold on to that! That is your source of life!
Guided prayer:
“Loving God, I accept Jesus to be my savior. I want to be forgiven and to believe in Jesus. I want the source of life living in me! Help my unbelief! Amen!
