Day 22 of 31 — Gospel of John Reflection Scripture (John 20:31, NKJV) “But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.” John tells you exactly why he wrote this Gospel: so you would believe—and so that belief would lead to life. That’s the heart of discipleship: not just learning facts about Jesus, but trusting Him as the Christ and the Son of God. John has shown us His glory, His compassio

Day 21 of 31 — John 21 Scripture (John 21:17, NKJV) “He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?’ … Jesus said to him, ‘Feed My sheep.’” John 21 is the mercy of Jesus on full display. Peter had failed loudly—denying the Lord three times. But Jesus doesn’t discard him. He restores him. On the shoreline, with a simple breakfast and a personal conversation, Jesus asks Peter the most important question: “Do you love Me?” Not, “Why did you fail?” Not, “How

Day 20 of 31 — John 20 Scripture (John 20:16, NKJV) “Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).” Devotional John 20 is resurrection morning—grief turning into glory. Mary came to the tomb expecting death. She stayed because she loved Jesus, but she didn’t yet understand what God had done. Then it happens: Jesus speaks her name. One word—“Mary”—and everything changes. That’s what the risen Christ still does. He doesn’t only p

Day 18 of 31 — John 18 Scripture (John 18:36, NKJV) “My kingdom is not of this world.” John 18 is intense—betrayal, arrest, interrogation, pressure. Everything around Jesus looks like defeat… but Jesus speaks with calm authority: “My kingdom is not of this world.” That one sentence reframes everything. The world fights for power, position, and control. Jesus stands in chains and still declares a Kingdom that can’t be threatened. His authority doesn’t come from politics, platf

Day 17 of 31 — John 17 Scripture (John 17:17, NKJV) “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. “ John 17 is one of the most intimate chapters in the Gospel—Jesus praying for His disciples… and for us. And at the center of that prayer is this: God’s people must be set apart by God’s truth. “Sanctify” means to set apart, to make holy, to mark something for God’s purpose. That doesn’t happen by willpower alone. Jesus points to the real tool God uses to shape us: His Word.

Day 16 of 31 — John 16 Scripture (John 16:33, NKJV) “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16 is Jesus preparing His disciples for reality—not with fear, but with confidence. He doesn’t pretend trouble won’t come. He says it plainly: tribulation will be part of life in this world. But then He gives a stronger word than fear: “Take heart.” That phrase is more than encouragement—it’s a command to anchor your courage in Hi

Day 15 of 31 — John 15 Scripture (John 15:5, NKJV) “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15 is Jesus calling us to a life that’s more than trying harder—it’s a life of abiding. A branch doesn’t strain to produce fruit. It simply stays connected to the vine. Fruit is the result of connection. And Jesus makes it plain: without Him, we can do nothing that truly lasts. We can stay busy.

Day 14 of 31 — John 14 Scripture (John 14:27, NKJV) “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14 is Jesus speaking calm into a storm. The disciples can feel change coming—uncertainty, fear, and the pressure of “what’s next.” And Jesus doesn’t deny the trouble… He offers a different kind of peace. The world’s peace is usually conditional: if everything goes right, if

Day 13 of 31 — John 13 Scripture (John 13:15, NKJV) “For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.” John 13 is where Jesus shows us what love looks like when it’s not just words. The King of Glory wraps Himself in a towel and kneels low—doing the kind of work nobody fights to do. He wasn’t trying to impress anyone. He was teaching a kingdom lesson: Greatness in the Kingdom is measured by service. Foot washing wasn’t glamorous—it was gritty. And th

Day 12 of 31 — John 12 Scripture (John 12:32, NKJV) “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” John 12 points our hearts to the center of the Gospel: Jesus will be lifted up—and when He is, He will draw people to Himself. He wasn’t talking about being lifted up in popularity or applause. He was pointing to the cross… to sacrifice… to the moment love would be displayed in its fullest form. This is freeing for us. Because it means the weight of

Day 11 of 31 — John 11 Scripture (John 11:25, NKJV) “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.” John 11 meets us in one of the most painful places of life: waiting while it hurts. Mary and Martha loved Jesus. Lazarus was His friend. And still… Jesus didn’t rush. He delayed long enough that the situation looked final. That’s the tension we all feel sometimes: “Lord, if You had been here…” (John 11:21). But John 11 shows us som

Day 10 of 31 — John 10 (The Good Shepherd) Scripture (John 10:11, NKJV) “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” John 10 is a chapter of comfort and clarity: Jesus is not a distant ruler—He is a present Shepherd. He doesn’t lead from afar. He walks with His people, protects them, and proves His love with sacrifice. A shepherd knows what each sheep needs: guidance, correction, rest, and safety. Jesus says He knows His sheep, and His sheep know

January 9th, 2026- The book of John Morning devotional Day 9 of 31 — John 9 Scripture (John 9:25, NKJV) “One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.” John 9 is a reminder that Jesus doesn’t just fix problems—He opens eyes. The man in this chapter doesn’t have every answer. He can’t explain every detail. But he has a testimony that can’t be argued away: “One thing I know…” That’s faith in its simplest form. When you’re pressured, questioned, or doubted—don’t feel lik

January 8th, 2026- The Book of John Day 8 of 31 — John 8 Scripture (John 8:12, NKJV) “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Darkness doesn’t always look like chaos—it can look like confusion, heaviness, temptation, resentment, fear, or that quiet feeling of being stuck. In John 8, Jesus doesn’t just point to light… He declares, “I am the light of the world.” That means you don’t have to manufacture your own bri

January 7th, 2026- The Book of John Day 7 of 31 — John 7 Scripture (John 7:37, NKJV) “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” Some thirst is obvious—fatigue, pressure, stress, the weight of responsibility. But the deeper thirst is quieter: the need to feel steady, forgiven, clean, hopeful, and truly alive inside. In John 7, Jesus stands in the middle of a crowded, religious moment and makes a personal invitation: “If anyone thirsts…” Not “if the strong thirst.” Not

January 6th, 2026. The Book of John, Chapter 6 Morning Devotional Scripture (John 6:35, NKJV) “And Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.’” Lord, we come into today with hunger—maybe not for food, but for peace, clarity, strength, and reassurance. John 6 reminds us that You don’t just meet needs… You are the need we were made for. So often we chase what’s temporary: approval, comfort, c

Morning Devotional — John 5 Theme: Rise Up, Respond, and Walk Scripture (John 5:6–9, NKJV) “When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, ‘Do you want to be made well?’ The sick man answered Him, ‘Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk.’ And immediately the man was made we

Day 4 of 31 — John 4 Scripture (John 4:13–14, NKJV) “Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.’” John 4 shows Jesus meeting a hurting, overlooked woman at an ordinary place—a well. And He doesn’t start with condemnation. He starts with conversation, then He
