“Cease meddling with God’s plans and will. You touch anything of His, and you mar the work. You may move the hands of a clock to suit you, but you do not change the time; so you may hurry the unfolding of God’s will, but you harm and do not help the work. You can open a rosebud but you spoil the flower. Leave all to Him. Hands down. Thy will, not mine. ” STEPHEN MERRITT

Lenten Devotional – Day 44
50 Days with Jesus in the Upper Room
Day 44 – Thursday, March 29, 2018
Today’s Assignment – Read John 18:1-40 and record the words, events and responses going on around Jesus
Today’s Quote: “Jesus puts the emphasis on His redemptive death. His death will draw all men unto Him. Those who believe will be saved. Those who reject Him will be lost. Consider how important it is to lift up Jesus before men, to put the emphasis on His redemptive death. There are multitudes passing by the church today who are not hearing the Word. Think of the laborers, the students, the men in the uniform of our country, the white-collar group, the rich. They do not hear. Jesus, the crucified Lord, is not being lifted up in the churches today. Friend, the gospel needs to be preached, and the gospel is about a Christ who was crucified”. – Dr. J Vernon McGee
This Week’s Memory Verse – “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also”. – John 14:19

Lenten Devotional – Day 43
50 Days with Jesus in the Upper Room
Day 43 – Wednesday March 28, 2018
Today’s Assignment – Read John 12:12-50 and record the words, events and responses going on around Jesus.
Today’s Quote: “There were three different groups in the crowd that day: (1) the Passover visitors from outside Judea (John 12:12, 18); (2) the local people who had witnessed the raising of Lazarus (John 12:17); and (3) the religious leaders who were greatly concerned about what Jesus might do at the feast (John 12:19). At each of the different feasts, the people were in keen expectation, wondering if Jesus would be there and what He would do. It looked as though Jesus was actually seeking to incite a revolution and establish Himself as King, but that was not what He had in mind.” – Dr. Warren Wiersbe

Today’s Assignment – Reread John 17:1-26 and write down what you’ve learned from this chapter.

Lenten Devotional – Day 41
50 Days with Jesus in the Upper Room
Day 41 – Monday, March 26. 2018
Today’s Assignment – Read John 17:20-26 and answer the following questions.
- Who does Jesus have in mind in verse 20?
- What is His prayer for His present and future disciples?
- How does the believer’s unity affect the world?
- What does verse 25 tell us that Jesus and His followers have in common that the world doesn’t share?
Today’s Quote: “The basis of this unity centers in adherence to the revelation the Father mediated to His first disciples through His Son. Believers are also to be united in the common belief of the truth that was received in the Word of God (Phil. 2:2). This is not still a wish, but it became a reality when the Spirit came (See Acts 2:4; 1 Cor. 12:13). It is not experiential unity, but the unity of common eternal life shared by all who believe the truth, and it results in the one body of Christ all sharing His life.”
– Dr. John MacArthur

Day 40 – Sunday, March 25, 2018
Today’s Assignment – Read John 17:16-19 and answer the following questions.
- How are Jesus’ disciples like Him?
- What does Jesus pray for them?
- How is this to be accomplished?
- Where has Jesus sent His disciples?
- What has Jesus done for their sake?
Today’s Quote: “Jesus did not mean that he intended to make himself more holy than he already was, when he said, “For their sakes I sanctify myself:” Rather, he was devoting himself to God in the interest of his work for the disciples. His example of dedication to the will of the Father, demonstrated in his unswerving acceptance of the Cross, would be the standard for their sanctification.” – Dr. Edwin Blum

- What does Jesus ask the Father for in reference to the disciples?
- How did Jesus do in the area of “keeping” His disciples?
- What did Jesus give to His disciples?
- Why does the world hate Jesus’ disciples?
- What does and doesn’t Jesus pray for?
Today’s Quote: “Now these disciples who are with Jesus are drawn into His prayer. They are affirmed and blessed as a people in whom Jesus is glorified. For they are men who bear a name. The Father has called them out of the world and given them to the Son. As Jesus has received and kept them, He has given them the Father’s name and revealed to them the nature of God” –
– Dr. Roger Fredrickson
