Scripture –
John 2:22- When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
Observation-
Jesus rose from the grave on the third day reminding his disciples when Jesus said He would raise up the temple in three days. This caused the disciples to believe the Scriptures and what Jesus had foretold.
Application-
The temple was a temporary place to worship God. The temple became a place of ritual worship rather than actual praise filled worship to God. The death and resurrection of Jesus for our salvation allows us to believe in the truth of God’s Word. With the resurrection of Jesus, our worship is to be to Him who is alive with us.
Prayer –
Father,
Thank you for loving us so much to send Jesus to pay for our sin debt completely. Let the truth of your word be seen in the resurrection of Jesus. Have the Spirit guide me to share your love here and to all the Nations to extend your glory.
