TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the December 19th, 2024 episode of Daily Radio Bible. I'm your host, Hunter, your brother and Bible reading coach, guiding you through our transformative journey through the scriptures. Today, we're immersing ourselves in the profound teachings of John chapters 5 and 6, where we witness Jesus performing miracles, such as healing the sick man by the pool of Bethesda and feeding the 5,000 with just five barley loaves and two fish. We'll delve into His powerful messages about being the Bread of Life and explore the deep connection between Jesus and the Father. As we reflect on these powerful passages, let's open our hearts to the transformative power of God's love and presence. Join me in this spiritual quest as we seek to experience His truth together. And of course, we'll conclude with a time of heartfelt prayer, as we lift our voices to God. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's embark on this divine journey together.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

The only one I know that has what I'm looking for, words of life, bread from heaven, food in the wilderness, is Jesus. He's the only one I know that has what I'm looking for. I don't come to him because I'm especially pious or I was born in the right family. No. I seem to have come to him because I have been drawn to him, as have you. And in this season of Advent, we are reminded that the word, the bread that came down from heaven, is Jesus. And Jesus has offered himself in the flesh for the whole world so that we might have union with him.

That we might share in his life. That we might be transformed by his love, that we might partake in his victory over the grave. The father is drawing us to this man, Jesus, because he has what we're looking for. And the prayer of my own heart is that I will see it and that I will partake and follow him. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so.

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.

Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen

And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
