Daily Bible Reading – April 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of HopeSample

April 18

Introduction

After sharing a breakfast of bread and fish with seven of the disciples, Jesus calls upon Peter to follow him and to care for Jesus’s lambs and sheep. John’s Gospel concludes by saying that there were many other things that Jesus did, and that not enough books could be written to contain them all.

Today’s Scripture: John 21:25

Now, there are many other things that Jesus did. If they were all written down one by one, I suppose that the whole world could not hold the books that would be written.

Today’s Reading 

John 21:15-25

Reflect

What question did Jesus ask of Peter three times? What command did Jesus give to Peter? What did that mean for Peter? What does it mean for Jesus’s followers today? What does it mean for you? What are your thoughts about the concluding verse to John’s Gospel (verse 25)? What does this verse teach you about Jesus?

Pray

Lord Jesus, you call us to be your disciples and to care for one another. Open my eyes to the “lambs and sheep” I encounter today, and teach me to share with them your message of love and salvation. Amen.
