Men of the Bible: Apostle John

John the Apostle the son of Zebedee and the younger brother of James (James the Greater). Among Jesus’ apostles, John appeared to be Jesus’ closest friend here on earth. The Holy Bible records 5 books in the New Testament that he penned:

The Gospel According to John
First, Second and Third John
The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ

John was the only apostle who did not die a martyrs death. Records show that he died of old age on the Isle of Patmos.

From the cross:
"When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom He loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith He to the disciple, Behold thy mother!
And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home." John 19:26-27

Proverbs 24:19-20; Psalm 141:10

✝️ 6-17-20, Many people have the misconception that the Lord's TEN COMMANDMENTS are just suggestions since Jesus came and we're now under the NEW COVENANT. Well, Jesus repeated them in Matthew 19:18-19.

Matthew 14:3-11; Mark 6:14-29; Luke 9:7-9

✝️ 6-11-20, Regarding forgiveness: the Lord □ Jesus clearly taught that marriage was between a husband & wife. [Matthew 19:5; Mark 7:21] He loves all sinners both the heterosexual & homosexual.

✝️ 6-9-20, The Lord □ Jesus explained to Nicodemus that he must be 'born again' [John 3.3, 7]. In Utah I've heard some LDS people scoff and ridicule believers in Christ who are 'born again.'

Genesis 1:9-10

✝️ 6-5-20, As we watch in horror the evil behaviors of the masses in America; those who are born again in the Lord Jesus should have peace. His peace that passes all understanding. He has our best in His plans. Jeremiah 29:11; Isaiah 55:11-13; Philippians 4:7

✝️ 6-3-20, Interesting the different duties of God's arch angels. Michael is a warrior who will defeat Satan and Gabriel was/is God's messenger appearing to: Prophet Daniel 8:15-17, 9:21-24 ... Zacharias, father of John the Baptist, Luke 1:11-18... Mary, Mother of Jesus, Luke 1:26-31... Joseph, Husband of Mary, Matthew 1:20-24, 2-13

✝️ 6-2-20, In appx 530 BC the Lord God of Israel chose the Persian [aka Iran] King Cyrus to protect and help the Jewish exiles in Babylon.

Revelation 19:7-8

✝️ 5-30-20, As we watch in horror when Derek killed George in Minneapolis, the riots & mayhem; we know that God is looking down on it all & preparing His judgment. When we add the murder of millions of innocent babies - we know it won't be good. Exodus 20:13; Genesis 4:15, 9:6

Mark 1:3; Psalm 16:11

✝️ 5-29-20, The Lord □ Jesus wants us to behave in a loving caring way especially to the brethren. Similar as if we were caring for Him. Matthew 25:31-41

✝️ 5-28-20, God's word has many encouraging promises to those who stand fast in their faith of the Lord □ Jesus. We're called 'Overcomers' - 1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 2:7, 3:21. Thank You, Lord.

✝️ 5-31-20, Have you ever noticed that in God's word He repeatedly warns us we are to fear Him? Well, why not? Like □Jesus said, we should fear Him who can cast us into Hell. Luke 12:5; Psalm 103:1-2, 11-15, 17

Locked: Daniel 12:4-9 Unlocked: Rev 22:7-17

Romans 13:11-12

✝️ 5-8-20, □ Jesus is the Light of the world. His born again disciples carry His Light. We are hated as He was hated because evil mankind loves wickedness and darkness. Example: Christian churches closed for Easter during covid scare; but Muslim mosques aren’t – New York giving them 500K free meals for Ramadan. Matthew 10:22; Mark 13:13; John 3:19, 9:5; Galatians 2:20

✝️ 5-27-20, See Romans 13:11; James 5:8; 1 Peter 4:7; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor 15:51-52, Rev 11:15 Scripture tells us that "The coming of the Lord is at hand;" but thousands of years have passed without the Lord’s coming. We must remember that one thousand years are like one day to God (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8). The rapture will happen without warning at any time and believers in the Lord Jesus must be ready at all time. Certain current events cause us to believe we are near the Lord’s trumpet call and that the rapture of the church is ‘at hand.

✝️ 5-26-20, There are those who refuse to believe in almighty God's miracles; they call them coincidences or just 'by chance.’ When the Lord performs His mighty deeds ... it doesn’t matter. Job 5:9; Jeremiah 32:37; John 2:11; Mark 9:23; Acts 3:16

✝️ 5-24-20, A rich ruler asked the Lord □ Jesus about heaven; he didn't like Jesus’ answer. We need to keep reading ... all things are possible with God. Matthew 19:23-26; Mark 10:17-31; Luke 18:18-30

✝️ 5-22-20, Interesting that the Lord □ Jesus said at the 'LAST SUPPER' He'd drink wine with the Apostles again in His Father's kingdom. Another confirmation & validation of scripture & teaching that we will be with Him in glory. Hallelujah! Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-23; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34

✝️ 5-16-20, The Lord □ Jesus has an accepted time & hopefully it's soon! Even so, come, King Jesus. Revelation 22:20; Luke 4:18-19; 2 Corinthians 6:2

✝️ 5-15-20, So many scriptures speak to us about fearing, honoring & obeying God. The more we obey, the easier it becomes. Deuteronomy 4:24, 6:2; Psalm 15:4; Proverbs 14:27; Luke 12:5; Acts 9:31, 10:35; Revelation 14:7

✝️ 5-14-20, We should listen to our conscience & obey warning; it's our God given defense against sin & regret. [Acts 23:1; 2 Timothy 1:3; Hebrews 13:18] Unless of course our consciences have been disabled: 'those whose consciences have been seared [calloused] as with a hot iron." 2 Timothy 4:1-2

✝️ 5-13-20, What a wonderful vision the Apostle John had of the New Jerusalem. It is 1,500 miles square and 1,500 miles high. Almost the size of the United States. The Lord □ Jesus is the Light. Imagine no more wickedness. No more pain & crying. Revelation 21:1-2, 3-27, 22:1-5

✝️ 5-12-20, Because of God’s love, while we were yet sinners, the Lord Jesus □Christ suffered and died for us. It was God's plan for sinful mankind to repent trusting Him to save them; He could/can because He is God and arose from death. Thank You, Lord. Romans 5:8; Galatians 2:20

5-11-20, Have you thought about how much of the Holy Scriptures are figurative language? God's 'feathers,' the Lord □ Jesus is the 'Door.' Psalm 91:4; John 10:7. Interesting.

✝️ 5-7-20, Sins □ Jesus Harshly Condemns; He said, “God knows our hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. V9 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” [Pride] Luke 16:15, 18:9-14; Hebrews 1:8-9

✝️ 5-6-20, In the Bible's book of Proverbs we are instructed that fools bring trouble to their families and evil doers will bow before the Wise. Proverbs 11:29, 14:19.

✝️ 5-5-20, In Book of Revelation there are seven churches addressed by the Lord King Jesus. He has special promises to all over comers. Revelation 1 and Revelation 12.

✝️ 5-4-20, How could you not run singing praises to the Lord Jesus telling all what He had done cleansing his leprosy! Mark 1:40-45; Matthew 8:1-4; Luke 5:12-16

✝️ 5-2-20, There are some scorners and scoffers who mock those who are Born Again in Christ. Sadly they must not read the scriptures - the Lord □ Jesus told us to marvel not that we must be born again. John 3:3, 7, 1 Peter 1:3

✝️ 5-1-20, All through the ages there have been wolves among the sheep in the Lord □ Jesus' flock. Beware. Acts 20:17, 28-30

✝️ 4-30-20, When the Lord □ Jesus Mother told her son that at the Cana wedding celebration there was no wine - I wonder if the Lord did little miracles around the house so Mary knew of His abilities expecting Him to quickly whip up some good wine. And He did! The Lord's first miracle on earth water into wine. John 2:1-11

✝️ 4-29-20, We learn the importance of loving God from Psalm 91 where Moses is blessed by God Who said: 'v9 Because thou hast made the Lord... the most High, thy habitation; v14 Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore, l will deliver him & set him on high, because he hath known My name. He shall call upon Me & I will deliver him ... & shew him My salvation." Psalm 90:1, 91-14

✝️ 4-28-20, The Lord □ Jesus, in the book of Matthew, lists what’s called the “Beatitudes.” He lists the items in our lives in His 'Sermon on the Mount' that examine our values, vision & habits to wholehearted obedience to God. We seek His forgiveness & acceptance for eternal life with Him; this is the good news 'Gospel.' John 14:6; Matthew 5:1-48, 6:1-34, 7:1-28.

✝️ 4-25-20, □ Jesus gave His apostles some encouraging words about His leaving and preparing a place for them; in His Father's house are many mansions. Let not your heart be troubled. John 14:1-3

4-23-20, We learn of God's command to write in a book in a vision when the Apostle John heard God's instruction ... especially the warning about those who will and won't inherit God's blessings ... those who will suffer His punishment. Thank You, Lord for the warning! Revelation 21:1-8

✝️ 4-20-20, The Lord □ Jesus said we must obey Him else it's like we built our houses on sand that when rains come they'll be destroyed. Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 6:46-49; James 1:22; Proverbs 10:25 □□

✝️ 4-19-20, The Bible has 30+ scriptures displaying God's fierce focus on mankind knowing Who HE is; all with this truth: "I am God none else!" Isaiah 45:5

✝️ 4-18-20, As the world deals with the horrible danger of health and financial ruin ... Whom shall we fear? God is the ROCK of our salvation. Trust Him and be at peace. Psalm 62:6; Romans 12:18

✝️ 4-16-20, The next time Jesus Christ comes to earth He will be □ King of Kings □ & Lord of Lords. Hallelujah! Psalm 24:7; Revelation 17:14 □□

✝️ 4-14-20, Based on the behaviors of some church goers; apparently they think God is like an old lenient Grandpa winking at deliberate unrepentant sin. Even sins that are done repeatedly with no remorse. Because the Lord God loves us so much, He generously warns us ... He has a book where names of forgiven sinners are recorded. Almighty God demands us to honor and obey Him. Revelation 1:18, 3:5, 20:1; Malachi 3:16 □□
