Margo's Bible Verses August 24th

On this date, August 24rd, Margo was reading in the gospel of John 6:22--46 titled, "Jesus, The Bread of Life" and in I Timothy 4:12--5:2 titled "Role Models for God's Flock".

Margo underlined several verses in the gospel of John and in the commentary to it.

John 6:22--46
"...29: Jesus Answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent"."

For context:
"...30:So they asked him, "What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31:Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

Underlined:
"...33: For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world"

"...35:Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."

"...40:For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

"...43:No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. 45:It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to me. 46:No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only He has seen the Father."

Commentary underlined:
"...We can satisfy spiritual hunger and sustain spiritual life only by a right relationship with Jesus Christ. No wonder he called himself the Bread of Life. But bread must be eaten to give life, and Christ must be invited into our daily walk to give spiritual life...We should follow Christ because we need the truth. Many people use religion to gain prestige, comfort, or votes. But those are self-centered motives. True believers follow Jesus simply because they know His way is true life--eternal life."

No verses were underlined in I Timothy, but the commentary was underlined:

"Timothy was a young leader. It would be easy for older Christians to look down on him because of his youth. He had to earn the respect of his elders by setting an example in his teaching and living, of love, faith, and purity. Regardless of your age, God can use you. Whether you are young or old, don't think of your age as a handicap. Live so others can see Christ in you."

She also underlined Proverbs 21:31:
"The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord."
