The Thief, Accountability, and Abundant Life

  Title: Understanding John 10:10, Exodus 22, and the 8th Commandment In the Bible, several verses and teachings emphasize the importance of upholding God's commandments and living a righteous life. Among these are John 10:10, Exodus 22, and the 8th Commandment ("Thou shalt not steal"). Let's explore these passages and how they are connected to the concept of accountability and the promise of abundant life in Jesus. John 10:10 : This verse is part of a larger teaching where Jesus contrasts Himself as the Good Shepherd with the thief. Jesus says, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." Here, the thief can be interpreted as the enemy, including Satan, whose intentions are purely destructive and harmful. In contrast, Jesus brings life and abundance to those who follow Him. Exodus 22 : In this passage, God outlines laws for restitution and justice, including how to handle theft. A thief is held

Morning Devotionals with JK Woodall Ministries

7/24/2020

Welcome and thank you for joining JK Woodall Ministries, To yet another morning that God blesses us with this beautiful day. And you get an opportunity? Or we get an opportunity to have our morning devotions together. Now these morning devotions are not meant to be ours long another five to ten minutes this Blog gives you time to connect with God. So what I want you to do this morning you get your Bible. Let's go to the NIV. That's the New International Version. At least that's the version I'm in. It's okay. If you have the King James version, whatever version you have. 


Let's go over to John 2. John 2,  I'm going to start at verse 6. So John 246 nearby stood six Stone water jars the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing each holding from 20 to 30 gallons. Jesus said to the servants fill the jars with water. So they filled them up fill them to the brim. They need to show them now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet. They did so and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine and he did not realize the I came from though the servants who had drawn the water knew then he called the bridegroom aside and said everyone brings out the choice wine first, and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink, but you have served the best till now now this rate this recording 


The Bible is written as Jesus' first miracle. Now, you will say to yourself what you know, turn it want water to wine. That's America within itself. But if you have to take that moment now because of God's talking to us this morning. Because it's not just about. The wine it's about transformation. So if we think about that water to ceremony Waters when back in the days when before you entered a synagogue.


Some people may have herds of sheep or cattle or they're working all day and have to wash up and clean before they get in. So this water is not clean water. These water jars have filthy water in them. May be contaminated. Virus invested water... But what did Jesus do?  He took the dirtiest water, the most contaminated water, the filthiest water, the water that normally would be discarded at the end of the day and said fill the jars up.


And then, drew some out and  it is now the best water. It's the best wine. There may be some things that I can tell me they could be some things that are. Filthy, they could be some things that are unclean in your soul. But this morning God is speaking to us and he says You're the best and it doesn't take years. It doesn't take much. It's a moment. So at this moment God just took you from the worst situation possible and now You are clean, in the name of Jesus. So let's pray to the Heavenly Father. We thank you for remembering us. We thank you for your instant transformation. Just so powerful for your Almighty. Oh, Ancient of Days. Thank you so much because that's what we thought we were going to get discarded. You step in, fill us up with your water and transform us in an instant. Oh, this only comes from a loving God; a God that knows our needs, at any time and we love you for that.  We praise you and we put  You on Hi.


In The mighty name of Jesus  Amen and Amen... as, We conclude the podcast and the blogs you can just stay where you are... meditating on what God has to say to you. Jesus himself poured himself into you and God is so powerful. So, thank you Father for blessing us.  Amen.
