Meditation: My Story
- Integrity - Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done were done in the sight of God. Do I remember that everything I do shall be done in the light so I would act according to the truth and not hide in the dark?

Week 10 Day 5: The Living Water ⇧ ⇩
Question
Where does the river of living water Jesus mentioned come from?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Jesus said: “My time is not yet here.”
-
Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.
-
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.
-
You know me. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true.
-
The chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest Jesus.
-
On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
-
Thus the people were divided because of Jesus. Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - Jesus’ teaching is not His own. It comes from the one who sent Him. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. Reflect on my own conduct. Is it based on God’s word or my own experience and judgment?

-
The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery to test Jesus. Jesus said: “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Jesus said: “You will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”

-

Meditation: My Story
- Identity - Jesus said, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing.” It is the Father who glorifies Him. Do I work for my glory or God’s glory? How does the Holy Spirit remind me of God’s glory?
