Daily Bible Reading – February 2022: God’s Renewing Word of LoveShembull

February 7

Introduction

The disciples of John the Baptizer speak to him about those who are being baptized by Jesus and following him. John acknowledges that his own ministry must now decrease as the ministry of Jesus increases.

Scripture Reading

John 3:22-36

Today’s Key Verse: John 3:34

The one whom God has sent speaks God’s words, because God gives him the fullness of his Spirit.

Reflect

In today’s reading, the ministries of Jesus and John appear to occur simultaneously. What is John’s reaction to what his disciples tell him? What are your thoughts about John’s words in verse 30? How are his words an indication of his faithfulness and witness?

Pray

Lord Jesus, I rejoice with you when others accept you as their Savior. Like John the Baptizer, my happiness is complete when I hear and obey your voice. Amen.
