Today’s Quote: “John 13-17 is our Lord’s “farewell message” to His beloved disciples, climaxing with His intercessory prayer for them and for us. Other farewell addresses in Scripture were delivered by Moses (Deut. 31-33), Joshua (Josh. 23-24), and Paul (Acts 20). However, Jesus added a significant “action section” to His message when He washed His disciples’ feet. It was an object lesson they would never forget.” – Dr. Warren Wiersbe

 

This Week’s Memory Verse: “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.”- John 13:1

 

 

So?…..What’s it to me? – As a result of today’s study I will…

Today…..

Today was a tough day for the students and familes of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Broward County, Florida.

Today was an unimaginably painful day for those 17 families who lost their children to a crazed former student with an AR 15 military rifle.

It’s sickening. And right now, today, it must be about those who have suffered loss and those who have been traumatized including the first responders, cops, firefighters and ems personal.

You want to do something today? Please pray like it matters and like it works for these victims. Right now and tomorrow and the next day and day after that they are left with a hurt that is so raw and deep it feels like it will never heal.

Want this to never happen again? Today, pray that the Lord gives us a national revival that radically changes our hearts and the culture of this nation.

Today….God help us.
