John 7:6
Therefore Jesus told them, "My time is not yet here; for you any time will do.
Konni T. from Renton, WA said:
In this verse Jesus is teaching about patience. Patience is something so few of us truly possess. I am 41 years old & I still have not mastered patience. It is a difficult virtue to master.

John 6:6
He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
Konni T. from Renton, WA said:
This verse is intriguing because I think we can apply it to our lives now. God gives us options but he knows what are decisions will be all the way to the day we will betray him or turn away from him. As a parent I can't imagine how painful this must be because I would do anything to prevent my daughter from making the wring choices.

John 5:30
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
Konni T. from Renton, WA said:
I often pray that I can do nothing without christ. And Christ also prayed this prayer about God. It always amazes me how scripture brings life full circle.

John 4:48
"Unless you people see signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe."
Konni T. from Renton, WA said:
I believe this is more so today then it was in Jesus' time. We are a seeing to believe society. That's why it's so important for us as Christians to live a pure life so others will be drawn to Christ through our example.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Konni T. from Renton, WA said:
This is the first verse I ever memorized. It is the epitome of what Jesus' purpose was on Darby while demonstrates God's love for us.

John 2:15
So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
Konni T. from Renton, WA said:
This verse is encouraging because it demonstrates Jesus showing true human emotion. He was angry for good reason & made sure all in his presence understood this fact. I often view anger as a sin but, this shows that anger in itself is not a sin but how we expss it can be.

Luke 24:19
"What things?" he asked."About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.
Konni T. from Renton, WA said:
This is the understatement of the century. Jesus was so much more. I don't think there iis enough time before his return to list all his amazing attributes. It saddens me to know people in biblical time new who Jesus was but allowed fear and jealousy to drive their actions.

Luke 23:43
Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."
Konni T. from Renton, WA said:
I find this verse truly amazing, here Jesus was beaten within an inch of his life, mocked & crucified yet he is still saving others up until is last breath. A criminal who admits he deserves his punishment saw the light and feared (honored) God and accepted Jesus and was saved. It proves that it's never to late to gain salvation through the gift of grace given by our Lord & Savior.

Luke 22:23
They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.
Konni T. from Renton, WA said:
This verse is intriguing to me. Here Jesus knew what he was about to face & who had betrayed him yet he did not change his behavior or attitude. He treated all of his disciples equally & with love that they were unable to see who the betrayer was.
On Numbers 2:34 by Ken J.
“Moses obeyed God's instructions exactly as he received them. This verse…”
