Palmer St. Podcast: John 9

 

This chapter begins with a man who was blind from birth.  The disciples, displaying little or no insight, ask, “Who sinned this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”  Jesus responds by declaring Himself to be the Light of the World, and healing the blind man.

It’s difficult to argue with a man just healed from a lifetime of blindness, but that’s exactly what the Pharisees try to do as they confront him about his healing.  The chapter ends with the Pharisees rejecting Jesus and the formerly blind man worshiping Him.

Bible Reading Checklist

Here’s a new chapter checklist for reading through the Bible.  It doesn’t include any kind of a plan for reading, just a list of all the chapters in all the books.  You can go at your own pace, read the books in any order you want, and check off the chapters as you read them.

I fits on one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet folded in half, so it conveniently fits in the pages of an average sized Bible.

Palmer St. Podcast: John 8

 

This chapter starts with the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery.  After that we’ll see an important discussion that includes major statements like the following:

  • I am the light of the world.
  • If you do not believe that I am He you will die in your sins.
  • If anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.
  • Before Abraham was, I AM.
