Meditate on verses 30-31.

Therefore, many other signs Jesus also performed

 in the presence of the disciples, which are not written

 in this book; but these have been written

so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;

and that believing you may have life in His name.

The Holy Spirit wrote this Gospel through John, the disciple, with the purpose of establishing that Jesus is the Messiah and the only Way to obtain eternal life (John 14:6). He proved it by recording a few of Jesus’ innumerable miracles:

·      Water to wine (John 2)

·      Official’s son healed (John 4)

·      Man healed after 38 years (John 5)

·      Feeding the 5000 (John 6)

·      Walking on water (John 6)

·      Blind man healed (John 9)

·      Raising Lazarus (John 11)

·      Resurrection from the dead (John 20)

·      Materializing within a locked room (John 20)

·      Breathing the Holy Spirit on the disciples (John 20)

These miracles prove Jesus is preeminent over creation, time, space, life, death, and you. As you bask in these divine truths, hear Jesus say, “Peace be with you” (v. 26).

Respond to Him with, “My LORD and my God!” (v. 28).

Pray John 20:31 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Jesus, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God,

and that by believing I have life in Your name. 

Holy Spirit, please draw ________ to make the same confession.

In Your name, Jesus~”
