Daily Bible Reading – September 2022: "God’s Renewing Word of Wisdom"Sample

September 6 Introduction Today’s reading concludes the discourse that began with verse 25 (see yesterday’s reading). Jesus is aware that those in the crowd will choose to turn away. Jesus says that God’s Spirit gives life, and Simon Peter affirms that Jesus is the Holy One who has come from God. Scripture Reading John 6:60-71 Today’s Key Verse: John 6:68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.” Reflect Why did some of Jesus’s followers turn away (verse 60)? What did Jesus say about God’s Spirit (verse 63)? What did Jesus ask the twelve disciples (verse 67)? What did Simon Peter say (verse 68)? What is your understanding of Peter’s response? Pray Lord Jesus, I believe and know that you are the Holy One who has come from God. The words you have spoken have brought me God’s life-giving Spirit. I trust in you, knowing that you have the words that give eternal life. Amen. Tomorrow’s Reading John 7:1-24: Jesus returns to Galilee and meets with his brothers.
