Today’s Quote : “A branch that bears no fruit is obviously dead. Therefore, like Judas, it is cut off. Every year in Palestine gardeners prune their vines. They cut off the dead wood which has no life in it and trim the living branches so that their yield will be greater.” – Dr. Edwin Blum

This Week’s Memory Verse – “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” – John 15:5

Today’s Quote – “In this section of the Farewell Discourse, Jesus dealt with three relationships that involve the disciples: (1) their relationship with him, (2) their relationship with one another, and (3) their relationship with the world around them. Jesus knew his disciples would constitute a distinct body or community with a definite function and he wished to prepare them for the change his departure would make in their manner of living

This Week’s Memory Verse – “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” – John 15:5

Today’s Quote – “Jesus had been with the disciples in the Upper Room. He now prepared to go to the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives. Whether Jesus’ words in John 15-17 were spoken in the room or on the way to the garden is uncertain, but probably they were given in the room.”

This Week’s Memory Verse – And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. – John 14:13-14

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

 

50 Days with Jesus in the Upper Room
Day 20 – Monday, March 5, 2018

Today’s Assignment – Read John 14:25-31 and answer the following questions.

1. What is the promise Jesus gives regarding the Holy Spirit?

 

2. How does this promise apply to us?

 

3. What is Jesus’ promise regarding peace?

 

4. Do John 14:28 and John 14:9 contradict each other?

 

5. Why won’t Jesus talk much more with His disciples?

Today’s Quote: “When Jesus said “My Father is greater than I” (John 14:28), He was not denying His own deity or His equality with God, for then He would have been contradicting Himself (John 10:30). When Jesus was here on earth, He was necessarily limited by having a human body. He voluntarily laid aside the independent exercise of His divine attributes and submitted Himself to the Father. In that sense, the Father was greater than the Son. Of course, when the Son returned to heaven, all He had laid aside was restored once again (John 17:1,5).” – Dr. Warren Wiersbe

This Week’s Memory Verse – And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. – John 14:13-14

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

Today’s Quote : “If a person truly loves the Lord, he will want to keep all of His teachings, not just isolated commandments. The Father loves those who are willing to obey His Son without questions or reservations. Both Father and Son are especially near to such loving and obedient hearts.” – Dr. William McDonald

 

This Week’s Memory Verse – And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If  you ask anything in My name, I will do it. – John 14:13-14

 

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

“Evil never surrenders its hold without a sore fight. We never pass into any spiritual inheritance through the delightful exercises of a picnic, but always through the grim contentions of the battlefield.”

Day 18 – Saturday, March 3, 2018

 

Today’s Assignment – Read John 14:12-18 and answer the following questions.

 

1. What promise does Jesus give those who believe in Him?

 

 

2. What promise does Jesus give us about praying?

 

 

3. What does the phrase “that the Father may be glorified in the Son” tell us about the type of prayers we should pray?

 

 

4. What other promise does Jesus give us regarding a “Helper/Comforter”?

 

 

5. How is this person described?

 

 

Today’s Quote: “We have no single word in our language that can express the rich, powerful meaning of “Paraclete,” the English translation of the unique title John uses for this Holy Companion. Para in the Greek means “alongside,” and the root of kletos is “to call.” So this “Helper” whom Jesus will send will be alongside the disciples as Jesus has been, “calling out” as an “encourager,” a “counselor,” an “advocate,” a “witness,” and as a “judge.” “Paraclete” means all this and even more. And He is given to His disciples.” –Dr. Roger L. Fredrikson

 

This Week’s Memory Verse – And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If  you ask anything in My name, I will do it. – John 14:13-14

 

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

5. Why, according to verse 11, should they believe Jesus words about Himself?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today’s Quote: “They know God because they had come to know Christ in His ministry and soon in His death and resurrection. To know Him is to know God. This constant emphasis on Jesus as God incarnate is unmistakably clear in this gospel (v. 11; 1:1–3, 14, 17, 18; 5:10–23, 26; 8:58; 9:35; 10:30, 38; 12:41; 17:1–5; 20:28).” – Dr. John MacArthur

 

This Week’s Memory Verse – And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If  you ask anything in My name, I will do it. – John 14:13-14
