*That I may see & know Jesus*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus."* (John 21:4 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

_A Surprising Encounter_
After a long and unfruitful night of fishing, the disciples were exhausted and disappointed. But as the morning dawned, Jesus appeared on the shore, watching over them with love and care. However, the disciples did not recognize Him, highlighting their spiritual blindness and lack of expectation.

_The Need for Spiritual Sight_
This encounter emphasizes the need for spiritual sight and discernment. The disciples had spent three years with Jesus, learning from Him and witnessing His miracles. Yet, in this moment, they failed to recognize Him. This teaches us that spiritual recognition and understanding require more than just physical presence or familiarity. We need the eyes of faith to see and recognize Jesus in our lives.

_The Gift of Recognition_
The fact that the disciples did not recognize Jesus until later (John 21:7) underscores the gift of recognition that comes from God. Spiritual recognition is not based on human effort or merit but on God's gracious revelation. As we seek to follow Jesus and live for Him, we can ask for the gift of spiritual sight, trusting that He will reveal Himself to us in His perfect timing.

_MEDITATION:_
*It is one thing to see Jesus. It is another thing to recognize Jesus!*

*The Blessing of Obedience*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes."*...
*DAILY DEW 11/MARCH/2025*

*The Blessing of Obedience*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes."* (John 21:5-6(KJV))

_Bible Insight_

_Jesus' Provision and Guidance_
Jesus' question about having meat was not just about physical hunger but also about spiritual provision. The disciples' response, "No," indicated their emptiness and lack of spiritual nourishment. Jesus' instruction to cast the net on the right side of the ship was a test of their obedience and faith. By following His guidance, they experienced a miraculous catch, demonstrating Jesus' power to provide and guide.

_Obedience and Faith_
The disciples' obedience to Jesus' instruction, despite their initial skepticism, led to a remarkable outcome. This episode highlights the importance of trusting and following Jesus' guidance, even when we don't understand the reasons or outcomes. By casting the net on the right side, the disciples demonstrated their willingness to trust Jesus, and He rewarded their faith with abundance.

_Abundance and Blessing_
The miraculous catch of fish represents the abundance and blessing that comes from following Jesus and trusting in His guidance. The disciples' inability to draw in the net due to the multitude of fish symbolizes the overwhelming nature of God's blessings. This episode encourages us to trust in Jesus' provision, guidance, and blessing, knowing that He can exceed our expectations and provide abundantly.

_MEDITATION:_
*Indeed, one day of God's favour is better than several days of human efforts without God!*

*PUT DOUBT OUT* (2)

*PUT DOUBT OUT* (2)

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing."* (John 20:27 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

_Jesus' Invitation to Thomas_
Jesus, aware of Thomas' doubts, invites him to come closer and investigate His resurrected body. Jesus offers Thomas the opportunity to touch His hands and side, to verify the reality of His resurrection. This invitation shows Jesus' willingness to accommodate Thomas' doubts and to provide him with the evidence he needs to believe.

_Overcoming Doubt and Unbelief_
Jesus' words to Thomas, "be not faithless, but believing," highlight the importance of faith and trust in our relationship with God. Thomas' doubts and unbelief are not condemned, but rather, Jesus encourages him to move beyond them and to place his trust in the reality of the resurrection. This verse reminds us that faith is not about having all the answers, but about trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty.

_Lesson for Us_
The lesson from this verse is that God is willing to meet us where we are, even in our doubts and unbelief. He invites us to come closer, to investigate, and to experience His presence and power for ourselves.

_MEDITATION:_
*As we navigate our own doubts and uncertainties, may we remember Jesus' words to Thomas and may we cultivate a deeper trust and faith in our Lord!*

*PUT DOUBT OUT* (3)

_Key Bible Text:_
*"And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."* (John 20:28-29 (KJV))

*PUT DOUBT OUT* (3)

_Key Bible Text:_
*"And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."* (John 20:28-29 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

_Thomas' Confession_
Thomas, having seen the resurrected Jesus and having touched His wounds, makes a profound confession: "My Lord and my God." This declaration acknowledges Jesus' divinity and lordship, and it marks a turning point in Thomas' faith. He has moved from doubt and unbelief to a deep and abiding faith in Jesus Christ.

_The Blessing of Faith_
Jesus' response to Thomas highlights the importance of faith. While Thomas believed because he saw, Jesus pronounces a blessing on those who believe without seeing. This blessing is not limited to the disciples or the early Christian community; it extends to all who have put their faith in Jesus Christ throughout history. This verse emphasizes the value and reward of trusting in God's word and promises, even when we don't have tangible evidence.

_Lesson for Us_
The lesson from this verse is that faith is not about seeing or experiencing physical proof; it's about trusting in God's character and promises. We are blessed when we believe in Jesus Christ, not because we've seen Him with our physical eyes, but because we've put our trust in His word and promises.

_MEDITATION:_
*May we cultivate a deeper faith in our Lord, trusting in His goodness and sovereignty, even when we don't have all the answers!*

*ETERNAL LIFE*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."* (John 20:31 (KJV))

*ETERNAL LIFE*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."* (John 20:31 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

_The Purpose of John's Gospel_
The apostle John explicitly states the purpose of his gospel: to help people believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. John's gospel is not just a historical account of Jesus' life, but a carefully crafted narrative designed to persuade readers of Jesus' divinity and His role as the Savior of humanity.

_The Importance of Faith_
John emphasizes the importance of faith in Jesus Christ. He writes that believing in Jesus is the key to having life through His name. This verse highlights the central message of Christianity: that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to experience eternal life and a personal relationship with God. John's gospel encourages readers to put their faith in Jesus, trusting in His power to forgive sins and grant eternal life.

_The Promise of Eternal Life_
The verse concludes with a profound promise: that those who believe in Jesus will have life through His name. This promise is not limited to earthly life, but extends to eternal life in the presence of God. John's gospel assures readers that faith in Jesus Christ is the key to experiencing this eternal life, and that this life is available to all who put their trust in Him.

_MEDITATION:_
*Believing in Jesus and receiving eternal life is the only wise way. The other alternative is to have an endangered life!*

*DAILY DEW 4/MARCH/2025*

*HERALDS OF FORGIVENESS*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."* (John 20:23 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

_Authority to Forgive_
In this verse, Jesus is granting His disciples authority to forgive sins. This authority is not based on their own power or ability, but on Jesus' own authority and power. He had just shown them His resurrected body and had breathed the Holy Spirit into them, empowering them for their mission. Now, He's giving them the authority to declare forgiveness to those who repent.

_The Ministry of Reconciliation_
This verse highlights the disciples' role in the ministry of reconciliation. As ambassadors of Christ, they are to declare forgiveness to those who turn to God in repentance. This is not about them having the power to forgive sins on their own, but about them being agents of God's forgiveness. They are to proclaim the Good News of forgiveness and reconciliation to a world in need.

_Lesson for Us_
The lesson from this verse is that we, too, have a role in the ministry of reconciliation. As believers, we are called to be ambassadors of Christ, sharing the message of forgiveness and reconciliation with others. We are not the ones who forgive sins, but we are to declare God's forgiveness to those who repent.

_MEDITATION:_
*May we take seriously our role in this ministry, sharing the Good News of forgiveness and reconciliation with a world in need!!*

*PUT DOUBT OUT*

_Key Bible Text:_

*DAILY DEW 5/MARCH/2025*

*PUT DOUBT OUT*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe."* (John 20:25 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

_Thomas' Doubt_
Thomas, one of Jesus' twelve apostles, had missed the previous appearance of Jesus to the other disciples. When they told him about their encounter with the risen Lord, Thomas was skeptical. He refused to believe unless he saw the physical evidence of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection for himself. Thomas wanted to see the nail prints in Jesus' hands, put his finger into the wounds, and thrust his hand into Jesus' side.

_The Need for Evidence_
Thomas' demand for physical evidence highlights the natural human desire for proof and certainty. We often want to see and touch before we believe. However, this approach can limit our faith and understanding. Jesus would later tell Thomas, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed" (John 20:29). This emphasizes the importance of trusting in God's word and promises, even when we don't have physical evidence.

_Lesson for Us_
The lesson from this verse is that faith is not solely based on physical evidence or tangible proof. While it's natural to seek assurance, our faith should ultimately rest on the word of God and the promises of Scripture. We can learn from Thomas' experience to trust in God's sovereignty and provision, even when we don't have all the answers or physical evidence. By doing so, we can grow in our faith and develop a deeper trust in our Lord.

_MEDITATION:_
*We can learn from Thomas' experience to trust in God's sovereignty and provision, even when we don't have all the answers or physical evidence!!*

*TOUCH ME NOT!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."* (John 20: 17 (KJV))

*DAILY DEW 1/MARCH/2025*

*TOUCH ME NOT!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."* (John 20: 17 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

Jesus' instruction to Mary Magdalene, "Touch me not," may seem puzzling, but it highlights the significance of His ascension to the Father. Jesus was not yet in His glorified state, and His ascension was necessary to complete His mission. By telling Mary not to touch Him, Jesus was emphasizing the importance of His ascension and the change that was about to take place.

Jesus' message to His brethren, "I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God," is a profound statement of the new relationship that believers have with God through Jesus. By using the phrase "my Father, and your Father," Jesus is emphasizing the familial relationship that believers have with God, and the access they have to Him through Jesus. This message is a testament to the completed work of Jesus on the cross and the new era of salvation that had begun.

This verse also highlights the importance of obedience and mission. Jesus instructs Mary to go to His brethren and deliver a message, which she promptly does (John 20:18). This demonstrates the importance of obeying Jesus' instructions and fulfilling our mission as His followers.

_MEDITATION:_
*As believers, we are called to share the message of Jesus with others and to fulfill our role in His mission to the world!!*

*THEY KNEW NOT!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead."* (John 20: 9 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

*DAILY DEW 27/FEBRUARY/2025*

*THEY KNEW NOT!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead."* (John 20: 9 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

The disciples' lack of understanding about Jesus' resurrection is highlighted in this verse. Despite Jesus' repeated predictions of His death and resurrection (Matthew 16:21, 17:22-23, 20:17-19), the disciples still did not grasp the significance of these events. This verse emphasizes the importance of understanding and applying Scripture to our lives.

The disciples' ignorance of Scripture led to their confusion and unbelief when they encountered the empty tomb. If they had remembered Jesus' teachings about His resurrection, they would have been prepared for this event and would have had a deeper understanding of its significance. This verse teaches us the importance of knowing and applying Scripture to our lives, especially during times of uncertainty and confusion.

This verse also highlights the importance of spiritual understanding and discernment. The disciples saw the empty tomb and the grave clothes, but they did not understand the significance of these events. It was not until Jesus appeared to them and explained the Scriptures that they understood the truth about His resurrection (Luke 24:13-35). This verse encourages us to seek spiritual understanding and discernment, and to rely on God's Word to guide us in times of uncertainty.

_MEDITATION:_
*Three and a half years of teachings and emphasis. Yet, the disciples did not know nor understand when he was eventually crucified. Yet, you read the bible a few times and are already supposing or assuming that you have known the word enough. Dey play!!*

*NICODEMUS!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight."* (John 19: 39 (KJV))

*DAILY DEW 26/FEBRUARY/2025*

*NICODEMUS!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight."* (John 19: 39 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council, had previously come to Jesus at night, seeking answers about His teachings (John 3:1-21). Now, he boldly comes forward to show his respect and devotion to Jesus, even in death. By bringing a large quantity of expensive spices, Nicodemus demonstrates his love and appreciation for Jesus, and helps to prepare His body for burial.

This verse highlights the transformation that had taken place in Nicodemus's life. Initially, he had come to Jesus in secret, afraid of being ostracized by his peers. However, as he grew in his understanding of Jesus' teachings, he became more confident in his faith, and eventually, he was willing to publicly identify himself with Jesus, even in the face of potential ridicule or persecution.

The lesson from this verse is that true faith requires boldness and courage. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be willing to stand up for our beliefs, even if it means facing opposition or criticism. Nicodemus's example encourages us to be bold in our witness, and to demonstrate our love and devotion to Jesus, both in life and in death.

*BEHOLD THE MAN!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find...
*DAILY DEW 20/FEBRUARY/2025*

*BEHOLD THE MAN!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him."* (John 19: 5-6 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

Jesus' appearance before Pilate and the crowd is a poignant moment in the Passion narrative. The crown of thorns and purple robe, symbols of mockery and ridicule, contrast starkly with Jesus' true identity as the King of kings. Pilate's declaration, "Behold the man!" (Ecce homo!), is a haunting invitation to gaze upon the battered and bruised Jesus, highlighting the shocking disparity between His divine nature and His humiliating circumstances.

The crowd's response, however, is a chilling reminder of human depravity. Despite Pilate's declaration of Jesus' innocence, the chief priests and officers cry out for His crucifixion. Their bloodlust and determination to eliminate Jesus demonstrate the depths of human sin and rebellion against God. This episode serves as a stark warning about the dangers of unchecked ambition, jealousy, and hatred.

The lesson from this passage is that true justice and righteousness are often obscured by human sin and corruption. Pilate's attempt to absolve himself of responsibility by declaring Jesus innocent ultimately proves futile, as the crowd's clamor for crucifixion prevails. This episode highlights the need for divine intervention and redemption, as human systems and institutions are inherently flawed and prone to injustice.

_MEDITATION:_
*"The praises of the crowd is soon buried in their passionate rejection & denouncement. Take the crowd's cheer to heart at your own peril. The cancel culture didn't start today & won't end until the end of time"*

*EXCEPT FROM ABOVE!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin."* (John 19: 11 (KJV))

*DAILY DEW 21/FEBRUARY/2025*

*EXCEPT FROM ABOVE!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin."* (John 19: 11 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

Jesus' response to Pilate's authority is a profound statement about the nature of power and responsibility. By acknowledging that Pilate's power comes from above, Jesus underscores the sovereignty of God over all human affairs. This perspective recognizes that even the most seemingly powerful individuals, like Pilate, are ultimately subject to God's authority and providence.

Jesus' statement also highlights the accountability of those who abuse their power or authority. By saying that the one who delivered Him to Pilate (Caiaphas, the high priest) has the greater sin, Jesus emphasizes the gravity of Caiaphas' actions. This serves as a warning to those who would misuse their power or position to harm others, particularly those who are innocent or vulnerable.

The lesson from this verse is that true power and authority come from God, and those who wield power must acknowledge and respect this divine sovereignty. Furthermore, this passage emphasizes the importance of accountability and the consequences of abusing power or authority.

_MEDITATION:_
*As followers of Jesus, we must recognize the limits of human power and authority, and instead, look to God as the ultimate source of wisdom, guidance, and strength.*

*THAT THE SCRIPTURE MIGHT BE FULFILLED!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did."* (John...
*DAILY DEW 22/FEBRUARY/2025*

*THAT THE SCRIPTURE MIGHT BE FULFILLED!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did."* (John 19: 24 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

The soldiers' decision to cast lots for Jesus' garment rather than tear it apart may seem like a minor detail, but it holds significant theological importance. By doing so, they unwittingly fulfilled Psalm 22:18, which prophesied that Jesus' clothes would be divided among His executioners. This event demonstrates the meticulous fulfillment of Scripture, underscoring the divine sovereignty and providence that governed the events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion.

This verse also highlights the intricate web of prophecy and fulfillment that underlies the narrative of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. The fact that the soldiers' actions, though seemingly random and driven by chance, actually fulfilled an ancient prophecy underscores the idea that God is working out His purposes, even through the actions of those who may not acknowledge or understand Him.

The lesson from this verse is that God's sovereignty and providence are at work in every detail of our lives, even when we may not recognize or acknowledge it. This passage encourages us to trust in the meticulous care and guidance of God, who is working out His purposes in and through us, often in ways we may not fully understand.

_MEDITATION:_
*It is a terrible thing to be part of the fulfilment of scriptures in a negative way. Be sure to fulfill God's words positively by obeying the teachings of scripture.*

*WOMAN, BEHOLD THY SON!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home."* (John 19: 26 - 27 (KJV))...

*WOMAN, BEHOLD THY SON!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home."* (John 19: 26 - 27 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

Jesus' final act of love and care before His death on the cross was to ensure the well-being of His mother, Mary. By entrusting her to the care of the beloved disciple, John, Jesus demonstrated His deep concern for those He loved. This act of provision and responsibility highlights Jesus' character as a loving and selfless Son.

This passage also underscores the importance of family and community in the life of a believer. Jesus' instruction to John to care for Mary as his own mother emphasizes the value of adopting and caring for one another as members of God's family. This principle is echoed in Galatians 6:10, where believers are encouraged to "do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."

The lesson from this verse is that our love and care for one another should extend beyond our biological families to include our spiritual family. As followers of Jesus, we are called to demonstrate His love and compassion by caring for one another, especially those who are vulnerable or in need. By doing so, we reflect the character of Christ and fulfill our responsibility as members of God's family.

_MEDITATION:_
*We are called to demonstrate God's love and compassion by caring for one another, especially those who are vulnerable or in need.*

*CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO FULFILL SCRIPTURE!*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst."* (John 19: 28 (KJV))

_Bible Insight_

Jesus' statement "I thirst" may seem like a simple physical request, but it holds profound theological significance. By expressing His physical need, Jesus demonstrated His humanity and vulnerability. At the same time, this statement also underscored Jesus' deliberate and voluntary sacrifice on the cross. He was not just a victim of circumstance, but the willing Lamb of God, who gave Himself up for the sins of humanity.

This verse also highlights Jesus' conscious effort to fulfill Scripture. By saying "I thirst," Jesus alluded to Psalm 22:15, which prophesied that the Messiah would experience extreme thirst during His crucifixion. This detail reinforces the idea that Jesus' death was a meticulously planned and executed event, orchestrated by God Himself to accomplish humanity's redemption.

The lesson from this verse is that even in the midst of extreme suffering and vulnerability, Jesus remained focused on fulfilling His divine mission. His statement "I thirst" serves as a poignant reminder of His humanity and His willingness to endure the ultimate sacrifice for our sake. As followers of Jesus, we are called to emulate His selfless example, putting the needs of others before our own, and trusting in God's sovereign plan, even in the midst of adversity.

_MEDITATION:_
*Normalize doing good but sometimes painful deeds that comply with positive fulfilment of scripture.*
