John 8, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #25: LUNCH LOVE

PASSAGE: The Validity of Jesus' Testimony, The Children of Abraham, The Children of the Devil, The Claims of Jesus About Himself


MEMORY VERSE: "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." -Ephesians 6:11-12


NOTES: (v.1-11) In an attempt to trap Jesus, the Pharisees brought him a woman caught in adultery, and asked Him whether or not they should stone her. But Jesus said, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." At this, they began to leave one at a time. After no one has condemned her, Jesus said, "Then neither do I condemn you. go now and leave your life of sin."
-(v.12-30) Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
The Pharisees did not believe Jesus, for they accused him of being his own testimony. But Jesus said that his other witness is the Father, who sent him. Even though the teachers of the law did not understand what Jesus was saying, many put their faith in him. 
-(v.31-42) Everyone who sins is a slave to sin; he can only be set free by the Son. 
They are Abraham's descendants, but they are ready to kill Jesus, who has told them the truth.
-(v.42-47)"He who belongs to God hear what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
-(v.48-59) The Jews accused him of being demon-possessed, but Jesus is glorified by God. Before Abraham was born, He was. At this, the people began to get ready to stone him, but he slipped away. 


ACT OF LOVE: I was talking to my friend, Danica Hu, who is also doing the 365 days of love challenge. We were walking to lunch when I asked her if she did her act of love yet--she told me that she gave her lunch money to a friend who needed it for something. Realizing that "giving away lunch money" probably meant that she wouldn't have a lunch today, I offered her mine! Her act of love spurred MY act of love :) SPREAD IT <3
