relates to the moment when Jesus invited Peter to participate in a life-changing miraculous event. The narrative continues from the story of Jesus feeding a multitude of 5,000 hungry men, women, and children with just a few loaves of bread and fish, with an abundance of leftovers. After this remarkable event, Jesus sent His disciples on a boat ahead of Him to cross the Sea of Galilee while He dismissed the crowd and went up a mountain to pray. As night fell, a fierce storm erupted, causing the waves to become tumultuous and the winds to blow strongly. As dawn approached, Jesus decided to walk on the water to reach His disciples. At first, the disciples were terrified, mistaking Jesus for a ghost. But Jesus, knowing their fear, comforted them by saying, “Take courage. I am here!” Everyone was amazed, except Peter, who asked Jesus to command him to come out and walk on the water. Jesus replied, “Yes, come.” Peter stepped out of the boat and began walking toward Jesus. As long as Peter kept his gaze fixed on Jesus, he could walk on the water, despite the storm raging around him. Peter’s faith in following Jesus out onto the water was truly remarkable. He did not act on his own accord but requested Jesus to command him to come. This is the central theme of this book. Through the stories of Jesus, you will learn how to stop relying on the world or yourself as the source of truth and hope. Instead, you will learn to reach up to Jesus, the God who created you for a purpose for good, to navigate life’s storms. Contents 1. Jesus Came to the Earth He Created to Give Hope .... 13 2.

Jesus—John 5:24–30 J esus saith, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. “For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself; And hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. I can of Mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just; because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent Me.” Summary Jesus promised eternal life to all who hear His word and believe in the Father who sent Him. He also revealed that a day is coming when all the dead will hear His voice and be raised, either to everlasting life or to judgment. The resurrection of life is the promise of God that everyone who trusts in Jesus will be the beneficiaries of His power to lead them down the right path in life, and one day to heaven. Will you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and trust, in your heart, that He will save you? Jesus Has Four Witnesses to Prove That He Is God —John 5:31–47 John the Baptizer: “If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of Me; and I know that the witness which He witnesseth of Me is true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. Jesus’ Miracles: “But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given Me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father hath sent Me. God The Father’s Voice: “And the Father Himself, which hath sent Me, hath borne witness of Me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape. “And ye have not His word abiding in you: for whom He hath sent, Him ye believe not. The Scriptures: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me. And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men. “But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in My Father’s name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. “How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?” Summary Jesus presented four witnesses that testify to His identity: John the Baptist, His miracles, the Father Himself, and the Scriptures. Though the evidence was clear, many refused to believe. Jesus taught that the entire Old Testament points to Him and that true life is found only through faith in Him. Search the Scriptures to know Jesus in salvation, and to grow in grace. He will open your spiritual eyes as you discover His presence concealed in the written Word.

Jesus—John 5:24–30 J esus saith, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. “For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself; And hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. I can of Mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just; because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent Me.” Summary Jesus promised eternal life to all who hear His word and believe in the Father who sent Him. He also revealed that a day is coming when all the dead will hear His voice and be raised, either to everlasting life or to judgment. The resurrection of life is the promise of God that everyone who trusts in Jesus will be the beneficiaries of His power to lead them down the right path in life, and one day to heaven. Will you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and trust, in your heart, that He will save you? Jesus Has Four Witnesses to Prove That He Is God —John 5:31–47 John the Baptizer: “If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of Me; and I know that the witness which He witnesseth of Me is true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. Jesus’ Miracles: “But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given Me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father hath sent Me. God The Father’s Voice: “And the Father Himself, which hath sent Me, hath borne witness of Me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape. “And ye have not His word abiding in you: for whom He hath sent, Him ye believe not. The Scriptures: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me. And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men. “But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in My Father’s name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. “How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?” Summary Jesus presented four witnesses that testify to His identity: John the Baptist, His miracles, the Father Himself, and the Scriptures. Though the evidence was clear, many refused to believe. Jesus taught that the entire Old Testament points to Him and that true life is found only through faith in Him. Search the Scriptures to know Jesus in salvation, and to grow in grace. He will open your spiritual eyes as you discover His presence concealed in the written Word.

any therefore of His disciples, when they had heard this, said, “This is an hard saying; who can hear it?” When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, “Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He was before? It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. “But there are some of you that believe not.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray Him. And He said, “Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father.” From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, “Will ye also go away?” Then Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered them, “Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray Him, being one of the twelve. Summary Even when many turned away, the true disciples remained because they knew that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. Today, Jesus invites you into His presence to worship Him, know Him, and experience His love. Through God’s plan of salvation, you can receive forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life in heaven. Jesus will not turn away anyone who comes to Him in faith, for He receives us according to the good pleasure of His love and grace. Will you place your trust in Him today? Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and begin the eternal life that He has promised to all who believe in Him. 56 7 Jesus Is Our Source of Hope Jesus’ Brothers Did Not Believe in Him—John 7:1–9 A fter these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for He would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill Him. Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand. His brethren therefore said unto Him, “Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that Thy disciples also may see the works that Thou doest. For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If Thou do these things, show Thyself to the world.” For neither did His brethren believe in Him. Then Jesus said unto them, “My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. The world cannot hate you; but Me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for My time is not yet full come.” When He had said these words unto them, He abode still in Galilee. Summary In Jesus’ life, as well as our own, knowing the Father’s will is just as important as knowing His timing. Because Jesus was completely submitted to the will of the Father, the timetable of God the Father was important. But for Jesus’ brothers, who were not submitted to God’s will in the same way, any time was fine! Are you willing to trust God’s timing as well as His will? Instead of rushing ahead or becoming discouraged by delays, seek the Lord, wait patiently on Him, and follow His leading. God’s timing is always perfect, and His plans are always worth the wait. The answers of life are not found in religion. The only place to fnd hope in this life and the life to come is in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hope is centered in who He is. 57

any therefore of His disciples, when they had heard this, said, “This is an hard saying; who can hear it?” When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, “Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He was before? It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. “But there are some of you that believe not.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray Him. And He said, “Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father.” From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, “Will ye also go away?” Then Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered them, “Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray Him, being one of the twelve. Summary Even when many turned away, the true disciples remained because they knew that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. Today, Jesus invites you into His presence to worship Him, know Him, and experience His love. Through God’s plan of salvation, you can receive forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life in heaven. Jesus will not turn away anyone who comes to Him in faith, for He receives us according to the good pleasure of His love and grace. Will you place your trust in Him today? Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and begin the eternal life that He has promised to all who believe in Him. 56 7 Jesus Is Our Source of Hope Jesus’ Brothers Did Not Believe in Him—John 7:1–9 A fter these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for He would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill Him.

Confusion —John 7:10–36 B ut when His brethren were gone up, then went He also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him: for some said, “He is a good man:” others said, “Nay; but He deceiveth the people.” Howbeit no man spake openly of Him for fear of the Jews. Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, “How knoweth this Man letters, having never learned?” Jesus answered them, and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me. If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of Myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but He that seeketh His glory that sent Him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill Me?” The people answered and said, “Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill Thee?” Jesus answered and said unto them, “I have done one work, and ye all marvel. Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at Me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” Then said some of them of Jerusalem, “Is not this He, whom they seek to kill? But, lo, He speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Howbeit we know this Man whence He is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence He is.” Then cried Jesus in the temple as He taught, saying, “Ye both know Me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of Myself, but He that sent Me is true, whom ye know not. But I know Him: for I am from Him, and He hath sent Me.” Then they sought to take Him: but no man laid hands on Him, because His hour was not yet come. And many of the people believed on Him, and said, “When Christ cometh, will He do more miracles than these which this Man hath done?” The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning Him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him. Then said Jesus unto them, “Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto Him that sent Me. Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.” Then said the Jews among themselves, “Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? will He go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? What manner of saying is this that He said, ‘Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me:’ and ‘Where I am, thither ye cannot come?’” Summary Jesus taught openly in the temple and amazed the people with His wisdom. While many questioned His identity, Jesus declared that He had been sent by the Father. Some believed, others resisted, but all were confronted with the truth that Jesus is the One sent from God. Because Jesus is God, He knows the infinite past and He knows the infinite future. Will you live for Him today? Will you yield your future to Him? He will show you how to serve Him best.

Confusion —John 7:10–36 B ut when His brethren were gone up, then went He also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him: for some said, “He is a good man:” others said, “Nay; but He deceiveth the people.” Howbeit no man spake openly of Him for fear of the Jews. Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, “How knoweth this Man letters, having never learned?” Jesus answered them, and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me. If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of Myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but He that seeketh His glory that sent Him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill Me?” The people answered and said, “Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill Thee?” Jesus answered and said unto them, “I have done one work, and ye all marvel. Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at Me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” Then said some of them of Jerusalem, “Is not this He, whom they seek to kill? But, lo, He speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Howbeit we know this Man whence He is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence He is.” Then cried Jesus in the temple as He taught, saying, “Ye both know Me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of Myself, but He that sent Me is true, whom ye know not. But I know Him: for I am from Him, and He hath sent Me.” Then they sought to take Him: but no man laid hands on Him, because His hour was not yet come. And many of the people believed on Him, and said, “When Christ cometh, will He do more miracles than these which this Man hath done?” The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning Him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him. Then said Jesus unto them, “Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto Him that sent Me. Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.” Then said the Jews among themselves, “Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? will He go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? What manner of saying is this that He said, ‘Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me:’ and ‘Where I am, thither ye cannot come?’” Summary Jesus taught openly in the temple and amazed the people with His wisdom. While many questioned His identity, Jesus declared that He had been sent by the Father. Some believed, others resisted, but all were confronted with the truth that Jesus is the One sent from God. Because Jesus is God, He knows the infinite past and He knows the infinite future. Will you live for Him today? Will you yield your future to Him? He will show you how to serve Him best.

verily, I say unto you, Whoso- ever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.“I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill Me, because My word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with My Fa- ther: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.” They answered and said unto Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus saith unto them, “If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill Me, a Man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father.” Then said they to Him, “We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.” Jesus said unto them, “If God were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.” The Jews answered and said unto Him, “Say we not well that Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?” Jesus answered, “I have not a devil; but I honour My Father, and ye do dishonour Me. And I seek not Mine own glory: there is One that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep My saying, he shall never see death.” Then said the Jews unto Him, “Now we know that Thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and Thou sayest, ‘If a man keep My saying, he shall never taste of death.’ Art Thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the proph- ets are dead: whom makest Thou Thyself?” Jesus answered, “If I honour Myself, My honour is nothing: it is My Father that honoureth Me; of whom ye say, that He is your God: Yet ye have not known Him; but I know Him. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and he saw it, and was glad.” Then said the Jews unto Him, “Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham?” Jesus said unto them, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.” Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Jesus hid Him- self, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. Summary Jesus taught that every person is a slave to sin and that true freedom from sin comes only through faith in Him. As the discussion continued, He challenged those who claimed Abraham as their father while rejecting God’s truth. Jesus revealed that Abraham rejoiced to see His coming and then made one of the clearest declarations of His deity: “Before Abraham was, I AM.” By using the sacred name of God, Jesus proclaimed that He is the eternal God who has always existed. Jesus declared, “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Have you trusted the great “I AM” as your Savior and Lord? Only Jesus can break the bondage of sin, give you true freedom, and grant you everlasting life. Come to Him in faith today, and experience the freedom, forgiveness, and hope that only He can provide.

verily, I say unto you, Whoso- ever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.“I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill Me, because My word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with My Fa- ther: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.” They answered and said unto Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus saith unto them, “If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill Me, a Man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father.” Then said they to Him, “We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.” Jesus said unto them, “If God were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.” The Jews answered and said unto Him, “Say we not well that Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?” Jesus answered, “I have not a devil; but I honour My Father, and ye do dishonour Me. And I seek not Mine own glory: there is One that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep My saying, he shall never see death.” Then said the Jews unto Him, “Now we know that Thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and Thou sayest, ‘If a man keep My saying, he shall never taste of death.’ Art Thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the proph- ets are dead: whom makest Thou Thyself?” Jesus answered, “If I honour Myself, My honour is nothing: it is My Father that honoureth Me; of whom ye say, that He is your God: Yet ye have not known Him; but I know Him. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and he saw it, and was glad.” Then said the Jews unto Him, “Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham?” Jesus said unto them, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.” Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Jesus hid Him- self, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. Summary Jesus taught that every person is a slave to sin and that true freedom from sin comes only through faith in Him. As the discussion continued, He challenged those who claimed Abraham as their father while rejecting God’s truth. Jesus revealed that Abraham rejoiced to see His coming and then made one of the clearest declarations of His deity: “Before Abraham was, I AM.” By using the sacred name of God, Jesus proclaimed that He is the eternal God who has always existed. Jesus declared, “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Have you trusted the great “I AM” as your Savior and Lord? Only Jesus can break the bondage of sin, give you true freedom, and grant you everlasting life. Come to Him in faith today, and experience the freedom, forgiveness, and hope that only He can provide.

Pharisees, “This Man is not of God, because He keepeth not the sabbath day.” Others said, “How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles?” And there was a division among them. They say unto the blind man again, “What sayest thou of Him, that He hath opened thine eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.” But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. And they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?” His parents answered them and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.” These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews. Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, “Give God the praise: we know that this Man is a sinner.” He answered and said, “Whether He be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.” Then said they to him again, “What did He to thee? how opened He thine eyes?” He answered them, “I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be His disciples?” Then they reviled him, and said, “Thou art His disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence He is.” The man answered and said unto them, “Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this Man were not of God, He could do nothing.” They answered and said unto him, “Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us?” And they cast him out. Summary Jesus healed a man who had been blind from birth, demonstrating that He is the Light of the world and that God’s power can transform any life. While others moved away, Jesus saw a man who was blind from birth and moved toward him. Jesus is all about opening our eyes to see that suffering can only have real meaning in relation to God. God must be valued more than health and life itself. Like Jesus, see people with human challenges and move toward them. Jesus Does Not Condemn but Gives Hope —John 9:35–41 J esus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, “Dost thou believe on the Son of God?” He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him?” And Jesus said unto him, “Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.” And he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshipped Him. And Jesus said, “For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.” And some of the Pharisees which were with Him heard these words, and said unto Him, “Are we blind also?” Jesus said unto them, “If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, ‘We see;’ therefore your sin remaineth.” Summary After the man was rejected by the religious leaders, Jesus found him and revealed Himself as the Son of God. The man believed and worshiped Him. This sixth sign miracle proves Jesus is light, both physical and spiritual, having power over the physical body. Know this, Jesus’ healing power demonstrates that He is all powerful. His care and concern shows that He is all loving. Will you show His kindness to everyone you come in contact with, and pray for His healing power in your life?

Pharisees, “This Man is not of God, because He keepeth not the sabbath day.” Others said, “How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles?” And there was a division among them. They say unto the blind man again, “What sayest thou of Him, that He hath opened thine eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.” But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. And they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?” His parents answered them and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.” These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews. Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, “Give God the praise: we know that this Man is a sinner.” He answered and said, “Whether He be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.” Then said they to him again, “What did He to thee? how opened He thine eyes?” He answered them, “I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be His disciples?” Then they reviled him, and said, “Thou art His disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence He is.” The man answered and said unto them, “Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this Man were not of God, He could do nothing.” They answered and said unto him, “Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us?” And they cast him out. Summary Jesus healed a man who had been blind from birth, demonstrating that He is the Light of the world and that God’s power can transform any life. While others moved away, Jesus saw a man who was blind from birth and moved toward him. Jesus is all about opening our eyes to see that suffering can only have real meaning in relation to God. God must be valued more than health and life itself. Like Jesus, see people with human challenges and move toward them. Jesus Does Not Condemn but Gives Hope —John 9:35–41 J esus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, “Dost thou believe on the Son of God?” He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him?” And Jesus said unto him, “Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.” And he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshipped Him. And Jesus said, “For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.” And some of the Pharisees which were with Him heard these words, and said unto Him, “Are we blind also?” Jesus said unto them, “If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, ‘We see;’ therefore your sin remaineth.” Summary After the man was rejected by the religious leaders, Jesus found him and revealed Himself as the Son of God. The man believed and worshiped Him. This sixth sign miracle proves Jesus is light, both physical and spiritual, having power over the physical body. Know this, Jesus’ healing power demonstrates that He is all powerful. His care and concern shows that He is all loving. Will you show His kindness to everyone you come in contact with, and pray for His healing power in your life?

feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. Then came the Jews round about Him, and said unto Him, “How long dost Thou make us to doubt? If Thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of My sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” Summary One of the greatest comforts in life is this; Jesus knows you by name, personally for all eternity. In fact, the Bible says that if you have trusted Jesus as your Savior, your name is written down in “The Book of Life in Heaven.” Is your name written down in glory? Have you believed in Him? Why not trust Him right now as He speaks to you? Jesus Is Rejected Because He and the Father Are One – John 10:31–42 T hen the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “Many good works have I showed you from My Father; for which of those works do ye stone Me?” The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we stone Thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that Thou, being a Man, makest Thyself God.” Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, Ye are gods?’ If He called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of Him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, ‘Thou blasphemest;’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’ If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not. “But if I do, though ye believe not Me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” Therefore they sought again to take Him: but He escaped out of their hand, And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there He abode. And many resorted unto Him, and said, “John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this Man were true.” And many believed on Him there. Summary “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8–9).” You must first place your complete trust in Jesus, not only for this life but for the life to come. Will you accept God’s free gift of faith and believe in Jesus today for eternal life? Your Turn Jesus, I want to accept You as my Savior, and enjoy fellowshipping with You for eternity in heaven. Forgive me of my sins and come into my heart right now. I place my complete trust in You, and I accept Your free gift of eternal life today.

voice came not because of Me, but for your sakes. “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.” This He said, signifying what death He should die. The people answered Him, “We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest Thou, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ who is this Son of Man?” Then Jesus said unto them, “Yet a little while is the Light with you. Walk while ye have the Light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have Light, believe in the Light, that ye may be the children of Light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide Himself from them. But though He had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, “Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, “He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; That they should not see with their eyes, Nor understand with their heart, And be converted, and I should heal them.” These things said Esaias, when he saw His glory, and spake of Him. Summary As Jesus approached the cross, He openly declared that His death would bring life to many, just as a seed must die before it can produce a harvest. When Jesus prayed, “Father, glorify Thy name,” God the Father answered audibly from heaven, affirming His Son and His mission. Jesus explained that through His death He would draw people from every nation to Himself. Although many witnessed His miracles and even heard the Father’s testimony, some still refused to believe. Will you believe in the Light while you have the opportunity? Come to Jesus in faith today, trust Him as your Savior and Lord, and receive the eternal life that He offers to all who believe. 90 The Father Spoke to Jesus from Heaven—John 12:20–41 A nd there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, “Sir, we would see Jesus.” Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour is come, that the Son of Man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. “He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also My servant be: if any man serve Me, him will My Father honour. Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour:’ but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify Thy name.” Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, “An angel spake to Him.” 90

But though He had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, “Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, “He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; That they should not see with their eyes, Nor understand with their heart, And be converted, and I should heal them.” These things said Esaias, when he saw His glory, and spake of Him. Summary As Jesus approached the cross, He openly declared that His death would bring life to many, just as a seed must die before it can produce a harvest. When Jesus prayed, “Father, glorify Thy name,” God the Father answered audibly from heaven, affirming His Son and His mission. Jesus explained that through His death He would draw people from every nation to Himself. Although many witnessed His miracles and even heard the Father’s testimony, some still refused to believe. Will you believe in the Light while you have the opportunity? Come to Jesus in faith today, trust Him as your Savior and Lord, and receive the eternal life that He offers to all who believe. 90 The Father Spoke to Jesus from Heaven—John 12:20–41 A nd there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, “Sir, we would see Jesus.” Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour is come, that the Son of Man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. “He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also My servant be: if any man serve Me, him will My Father honour. Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour:’ but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify Thy name.” Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, “An angel spake to Him.” 90

and was set down again, He said unto them, “Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call Me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither He that is sent greater than He that sent Him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. “I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He that eateth bread with Me hath lifted up his heel against Me.’ Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am He. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth Me; and He that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me.” Summary Knowing that the cross was near, Jesus demonstrated true humility by washing His disciples’ feet. The Creator became a servant and taught His followers that greatness is found in serving others. His example reminds us that genuine love expresses itself through humble service. Just as Jesus washed the feet of His followers, He will help you to be humble and serve others. Will you follow His example and serve others? Judas Betrayed Jesus, But You Can Believe — John 13:21–30 W hen Jesus had thus said, He was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray Me.” Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom He spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom He spake. He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto Him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus answered, “He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it.” And when He had dipped the sop, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, “That thou doest, do quickly.” Now no man at the table knew for what intent He spake this unto him. For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, “Buy those things that we have need of against the feast;” or, that he should give something to the poor. He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night. Summary One of Jesus’ disciples chose to betray Him. You can choose a path to life. The call to follow Jesus is a call to follow Him and trust the course that He sets even when it seems that it’s not “working.” Stop and think about this: Jesus loved you enough to die for you. And he loves you just as much, no matter how many times you stumble and fall and weep and turn back. He takes your guilt and makes it so that in God’s sight you never sinned. That’s the kind of friend you need, but can never deserve. Yet in Jesus, that is the kind of friend we have. 97 96

and was set down again, He said unto them, “Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call Me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither He that is sent greater than He that sent Him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. “I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He that eateth bread with Me hath lifted up his heel against Me.’ Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am He. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth Me; and He that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me.” Summary Knowing that the cross was near, Jesus demonstrated true humility by washing His disciples’ feet. The Creator became a servant and taught His followers that greatness is found in serving others. His example reminds us that genuine love expresses itself through humble service. Just as Jesus washed the feet of His followers, He will help you to be humble and serve others. Will you follow His example and serve others? Judas Betrayed Jesus, But You Can Believe — John 13:21–30 W hen Jesus had thus said, He was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray Me.” Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom He spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom He spake. He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto Him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus answered, “He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it.” And when He had dipped the sop, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, “That thou doest, do quickly.” Now no man at the table knew for what intent He spake this unto him. For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, “Buy those things that we have need of against the feast;” or, that he should give something to the poor. He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night. Summary One of Jesus’ disciples chose to betray Him. You can choose a path to life. The call to follow Jesus is a call to follow Him and trust the course that He sets even when it seems that it’s not “working.” Stop and think about this: Jesus loved you enough to die for you. And he loves you just as much, no matter how many times you stumble and fall and weep and turn back. He takes your guilt and makes it so that in God’s sight you never sinned. That’s the kind of friend you need, but can never deserve. Yet in Jesus, that is the kind of friend we have. 97 96

not Iscariot, “Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world?” Jesus answered and said unto him, “If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. “He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings: and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father’s which sent Me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, ‘I go away, and come again unto you.’ If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, ‘I go unto the Father:’ for My Father is greater than I. “And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.” Summary You need the Holy Spirit guiding in your life to help you learn Scripture and to remember the things Jesus said. 102 15 The Hope Living in You Brings Joy Remain in My Love—John 15:1–13 J esus saith unto them, “I am the true Vine, and My Father is the Husbandman. Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me. “I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples. “As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love. If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father’s commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. “This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Summary Jesus used the illustration of a vine and its branches to teach that spiritual life, growth, and fruitfulness come only through a close relationship with Him. Just as a branch cannot survive apart from the vine, believers cannot live fruitful Christian lives apart from Christ. Are you abiding in Jesus each day? Stay connected to Him through prayer, His Word, and obedience to His commands. Trust Him to strengthen your faith, produce spiritual fruit in your life, and fill you with His joy. Remain in His love, and let His love flow through you to others.

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me. “I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples. “As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love. If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father’s commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. “This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Summary Jesus used the illustration of a vine and its branches to teach that spiritual life, growth, and fruitfulness come only through a close relationship with Him. Just as a branch cannot survive apart from the vine, believers cannot live fruitful Christian lives apart from Christ. Are you abiding in Jesus each day? Stay connected to Him through prayer, His Word, and obedience to His commands. Trust Him to strengthen your faith, produce spiritual fruit in your life, and fill you with His joy. Remain in His love, and let His love flow through you to others.

J esus saith unto them,”Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you. “Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you. “These things I command you, that ye love one another.” “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. “Remember the word that I said unto you, ‘The servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for My name’s sake, because they know not Him that sent Me. “If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth Me hateth My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’ “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me: “And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning.” Summary Jesus has called you to be His friend, and to share His love with others. Will you tell your friends and family about Jesus? He will speak through you and remove their blindness. 104 16 The Presence of Jesus in You Is Your Hope I Will Never Abandon You—John 16:1–7 J esus saith unto them, “These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. “And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. But now I go My way to Him that sent Me; and none of you asketh Me, ‘Whither goest Thou?’ But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.” Summary Jesus prepared His disciples for the persecution and hardships they would face after His departure. He promised to send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, who would remain with them and provide the guidance, strength, and encouragement they would need. Are you discouraged or facing difficulties today? Remember that Jesus has not left you alone. Trust in His promises, rely on the Holy Spirit for strength and guidance, and walk forward in faith knowing that God is always with you. 104 105

J esus saith unto them,”Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you. “Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you. “These things I command you, that ye love one another.” “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. “Remember the word that I said unto you, ‘The servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for My name’s sake, because they know not Him that sent Me. “If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth Me hateth My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’ “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me: “And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning.” Summary Jesus has called you to be His friend, and to share His love with others. Will you tell your friends and family about Jesus? He will speak through you and remove their blindness. 104 16 The Presence of Jesus in You Is Your Hope I Will Never Abandon You—John 16:1–7 J esus saith unto them, “These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. “And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. But now I go My way to Him that sent Me; and none of you asketh Me, ‘Whither goest Thou?’ But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.” Summary Jesus prepared His disciples for the persecution and hardships they would face after His departure. He promised to send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, who would remain with them and provide the guidance, strength, and encouragement they would need. Are you discouraged or facing difficulties today? Remember that Jesus has not left you alone. Trust in His promises, rely on the Holy Spirit for strength and guidance, and walk forward in faith knowing that God is always with you. 104 105

when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on Me; Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. “All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.” Summary Jesus taught that the Holy Spirit would continue His work after His departure. The Spirit would convict the world of sin, reveal God’s righteousness, and warn of coming judgment. He would guide believers into truth, teach them the things of God, and help them understand Christ’s words. Most importantly, the Holy Spirit would glorify Jesus by revealing who He is and drawing people to faith in Him. The Spirit’s ministry is always centered on exalting Christ and helping believers grow in their relationship with Him. Have you responded to the Holy Spirit’s work in your life? Listen to His conviction, follow His guidance, and allow Him to lead you into God’s truth. As the Holy Spirit points you to Jesus, trust Him more fully, obey His Word, and let your life bring glory to the Savior. 106 Ask and You Will Receive —John 16:16–24 J esus saith, “A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father.” Then said some of His disciples among themselves, “What is this that He saith unto us, ‘A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me:’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father?’” They said therefore, “What is this that He saith, ‘A little while?’ we cannot tell what He saith.” Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask Him, and said unto them, “Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, ‘A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me?’ “Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. “A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. “And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” Summary Jesus explained to His disciples that the sorrow they would experience at His death would soon be replaced with joy through His resurrection. Jesus assured them that their grief would not last forever. Are you carrying burdens, sorrow, or unanswered questions today? Bring them to the Father in the name of Jesus. Trust His promises, seek Him in prayer, and believe that He is working for your good. Ask in faith, receive His peace, and let the joy of Christ fill your heart. 107

when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on Me; Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. “All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.” Summary Jesus taught that the Holy Spirit would continue His work after His departure. The Spirit would convict the world of sin, reveal God’s righteousness, and warn of coming judgment. He would guide believers into truth, teach them the things of God, and help them understand Christ’s words. Most importantly, the Holy Spirit would glorify Jesus by revealing who He is and drawing people to faith in Him. The Spirit’s ministry is always centered on exalting Christ and helping believers grow in their relationship with Him. Have you responded to the Holy Spirit’s work in your life? Listen to His conviction, follow His guidance, and allow Him to lead you into God’s truth. As the Holy Spirit points you to Jesus, trust Him more fully, obey His Word, and let your life bring glory to the Savior. 106 Ask and You Will Receive —John 16:16–24 J esus saith, “A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father.” Then said some of His disciples among themselves, “What is this that He saith unto us, ‘A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me:’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father?’” They said therefore, “What is this that He saith, ‘A little while?’ we cannot tell what He saith.” Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask Him, and said unto them, “Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, ‘A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me?’ “Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. “A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. “And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” Summary Jesus explained to His disciples that the sorrow they would experience at His death would soon be replaced with joy through His resurrection. Jesus assured them that their grief would not last forever. Are you carrying burdens, sorrow, or unanswered questions today? Bring them to the Father in the name of Jesus. Trust His promises, seek Him in prayer, and believe that He is working for your good. Ask in faith, receive His peace, and let the joy of Christ fill your heart. 107

things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day ye shall ask in My name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved Me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.” His disciples said unto Him, “Lo, now speakest Thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now are we sure that Thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask Thee: by this we believe that Thou camest forth from God.” Jesus answered them, “Do ye now believe? Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave Me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Summary Jesus assured His disciples that the Father loved them and that they could come directly to Him in prayer through faith in Him. Jesus promised them a peace that the world could not provide. He reminded them that troubles and trials are a part of life in this world, but they need not be overcome by fear because He has already overcome the world through His victory over sin, death, and Satan. Are you facing trials, uncertainty, or fear today? Take courage and place your trust in Jesus Christ. Bring your needs to the Father in prayer, rest in His love, and hold firmly to His promise: “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Through faith in Jesus, you can experience His peace and victory no matter what challenges you face. 108 Father, Glorify Your Son—John 17:1–5 T hese words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee: As Thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him. And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. “I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.” Summary As the cross drew near, Jesus began His prayer by asking the Father to glorify Him through the completion of His mission. He declared that eternal life is found in knowing God and believing in Jesus Christ, whom the Father sent into the world. Jesus completed the work the Father gave Him so that you could have eternal life. Eternal life is not found in religion, good works, or human effort—it is found in knowing the only true God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Have you placed your faith in Him? Trust Jesus as your Savior and Lord today, receive the gift of eternal life, and begin a relationship with the One who loved you enough to give His life for you. 17 The Prayer of Jesus for You Gives You Hope 109

Jesus promised them a peace that the world could not provide. He reminded them that troubles and trials are a part of life in this world, but they need not be overcome by fear because He has already overcome the world through His victory over sin, death, and Satan. Are you facing trials, uncertainty, or fear today? Take courage and place your trust in Jesus Christ. Bring your needs to the Father in prayer, rest in His love, and hold firmly to His promise: “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Through faith in Jesus, you can experience His peace and victory no matter what challenges you face. 108 Father, Glorify Your Son—John 17:1–5 T hese words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee: As Thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him. And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. “I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.” Summary As the cross drew near, Jesus began His prayer by asking the Father to glorify Him through the completion of His mission. He declared that eternal life is found in knowing God and believing in Jesus Christ, whom the Father sent into the world. Jesus completed the work the Father gave Him so that you could have eternal life. Eternal life is not found in religion, good works, or human effort—it is found in knowing the only true God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Have you placed your faith in Him? Trust Jesus as your Savior and Lord today, receive the gift of eternal life, and begin a relationship with the One who loved you enough to give His life for you. 17 The Prayer of Jesus for You Gives You Hope 109

17:6–19 J esus saith, “I have manifested Thy name unto the men which Thou gavest Me out of the world: Thine they were, and Thou gavest them Me; and they have kept Thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever Thou hast given Me are of Thee. For I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from Thee, and they have believed that Thou didst send Me. “I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine.And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as We are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name: those that Thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. “And now come I to Thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. “I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth. As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.” Summary Jesus prayed specifically for His disciples, thanking the Father for those who had believed in Him. He asked God to protect them, unite them, fill them with joy, and sanctify them through His truth. Jesus wants you to know Him and to spend your life learning about Him, and telling your family and friends about what He did in your life. Then, one day, He will call you home to be with Him. So we ask you this question, “Will you accept Jesus today and live with Him for eternity in a place that He is preparing for you? Your Turn.—Jesus, I accept you as my Savior. Forgive me for my sins. I now receive your free gift of eternal life. I want all of my friends and family to know you like I do. I Am Praying for All Who Will Ever Believe in Me — John 17:20–26 J esus saith, “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. “And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one: I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me. “Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. “O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me. And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” Summary This beautiful prayer reveals Christ’s deep love for His followers and His desire that they share in His glory forever. You can’t begin to imagine the wonders and glory Jesus has waiting for you in heaven. The Bible teaches that there is a sparkling clean river, flowing from Jesus’ and His Father’s throne. A Tree of Life grows on each side of the river. There is nothing evil in the city because the Father’s throne and Jesus’ throne are there. Jesus’ servants will worship Him continually. They will see His face and His name will be on their foreheads. And He will rule His people forever.

17:6–19 J esus saith, “I have manifested Thy name unto the men which Thou gavest Me out of the world: Thine they were, and Thou gavest them Me; and they have kept Thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever Thou hast given Me are of Thee. For I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from Thee, and they have believed that Thou didst send Me. “I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine.And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as We are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name: those that Thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. “And now come I to Thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. “I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth. As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.” Summary Jesus prayed specifically for His disciples, thanking the Father for those who had believed in Him. He asked God to protect them, unite them, fill them with joy, and sanctify them through His truth. Jesus wants you to know Him and to spend your life learning about Him, and telling your family and friends about what He did in your life. Then, one day, He will call you home to be with Him. So we ask you this question, “Will you accept Jesus today and live with Him for eternity in a place that He is preparing for you? Your Turn.—Jesus, I accept you as my Savior. Forgive me for my sins. I now receive your free gift of eternal life. I want all of my friends and family to know you like I do. I Am Praying for All Who Will Ever Believe in Me — John 17:20–26 J esus saith, “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. “And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one: I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me. “Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. “O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me. And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” Summary This beautiful prayer reveals Christ’s deep love for His followers and His desire that they share in His glory forever. You can’t begin to imagine the wonders and glory Jesus has waiting for you in heaven. The Bible teaches that there is a sparkling clean river, flowing from Jesus’ and His Father’s throne. A Tree of Life grows on each side of the river. There is nothing evil in the city because the Father’s throne and Jesus’ throne are there. Jesus’ servants will worship Him continually. They will see His face and His name will be on their foreheads. And He will rule His people forever.

Pilate—John 18:29–40 P ilate then went out unto them, and said, “What accusation bring ye against this Man?” They answered and said unto him, “If He were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered Him up unto thee.” Then said Pilate unto them, “Take ye Him, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews therefore said unto him, “It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:” That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He spake, signifying what death He should die. Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto Him, “Art Thou the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of Me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered Thee unto me: what hast Thou done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world: if My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is My kingdom not from hence.” Pilate therefore said unto Him, “Art Thou a king then?” Jesus answered, “Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice.” Pilate saith unto Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, “I find in Him no fault at all. But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?” Then cried they all again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a robber. Summary Several hours before His death, Jesus told His disciples that the purpose of His birth was to bear witness to the truth of God, so that everyone might glorify God for who He is and might come to have eternal life. As the innocent Son of God was condemned to death, God’s plan of redemption continued to unfold, leading Jesus toward the cross where He would die for your sins and the sins of all humanity. I Find Him Not Guilty—John 19:1–7 T hen Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged Him. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe, And said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they smote Him with their hands. Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, “Behold, I bring Him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him.” Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, “Behold the Man!” When the chief priests therefore and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him.” Pilate saith unto them, “Take ye Him, and crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.” Summary When Jesus died on the cross, it was not because He had committed any sin. Even Pilate declared, “I find in Him no fault at all.” Jesus was completely sinless. Peter later testified, “Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth.” John also wrote, “And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.” Because every person has sinned, the Bible declares, “For the wages of sin is death.” Yet Jesus willingly took our place and died as our sinless substitute so that we could be forgiven and receive eternal life. Through His sacrifice, the penalty of sin was paid in full for all who believe in Him. Right now is the time to trust in Jesus Christ. As the Scripture says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” 19 The Preparation for Our Hope
