For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known. And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” He said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.” (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”

Jesus’ death and resurrection, as well as the promise of His return, prove His unending love for each of us both in words and deeds. Jesus said that there is no greater love than someone giving his life for his friends, but He didn’t merely say it. He did it.
Precious daughter of God, do you struggle with feeling unimportant? If so, I remind you that you matter to God. You’re His child and good idea. He knows you completely, accepts you wholeheartedly, loves you unconditionally, and delights in your unique representation of His goodness in this world. Let God’s steadfast love empower you to live a life of belonging and purpose. You’re His daughter, and you’re beloved.
The WORD on the cross... The WORD in the grave... The WORD resurrected... Day 1 examines Jesus' final words on the cross. Day 2 contemplates the silence of Saturday—the "between" day when Jesus lay in the tomb. Day 3 celebrates how Jesus, as the Word, offers the final, triumphant word over sin and death.
Each day offers 1,440 minutes, and dedicating just seven—less than one percent—can lead to significant growth. Spend seven minutes daily with God’s Word to enrich your relationship with Him. This journey through the Gospel of John offers a manageable approach to engaging with Scripture, much like Jesus' teachings to his disciples. Deepen your spiritual maturity through this devotional series.
