John 1:1-51

What God said to me – Never think of where you live, the family you were born into, the friends you have, or the career you have as insignificant or unimportant.  John the Baptist understood that his call to baptize those who repented was in order that I might be revealed as Messiah.  Your call is just the same.  I put you where I put you in order that I might be revealed as Messiah, as Savior, as God.  Your responsibility is to live in such a way in your family, in your church, at your work – wherever you are, so that “I AM” revealed.  Your call is to reveal Me wherever you are.  As you faithfully go about your day to day “stuff”, I will show Myself to those around you.  That’s what it means to live for Me.  You live for Me, and I will live through you.

Luke 24:1-53

What God said to me – “I AM” the one who opens your eyes and ears and gives you understanding.  Not everyone can see or hear or understand for I have not revealed Myself to them.  The world cannot possibly understand because they are blinded to Me.  The one I show Myself to is the one who knows Me.  The one I reveal Myself to is the one who obeys Me.  There is so much you don’t understand and I long to teach you but you must devote yourself to My word for that is where I always start.  As you are in My word, I show you Me.  As you are in My word, I speak to you.  As in any friendship, it takes time and devotion.  “I AM” devoted to you.  Are you truly devoted to Me?

Luke 22:1-23:55

What God said to me – I have prayed for you.  I always pray for you because you are My child.  There will be times when you fall, and you feel like such a failure.  At those times look to Me for “I AM” praying for you.  Turn to Me in repentance and let Me cleanse you and strengthen you, then you in turn will be able to strengthen others.  Serving others is not just ministering to their physical needs, it is also encouraging them as I have encouraged you.  As I have come along side of you and ministered to you, you come along side of them and minister to them.  As I have prayed for you, you pray for them.  People need to see genuine love and compassion and as you show that to them, they will see Me.
