Welcome to My Reel Life blog!
Join me on the journey to know Christ more!
I recently had the privilege of participating in a Scriptorium (click here for more info about what a Scriptorium is.) It is such a beautiful thing to hear Scripture recited for a few hours straight! This year we did the book of John and I chose John 14 as my chapter to recite. Today I want to share with you the top three things I learned from John 14. 1. Jesus made promises to us.
As I memorized and mediated on John 14 before the Scriptorium, I found that it was loaded with promises Jesus said to His disciples and ultimately, all of us! Promises like:
2. Jesus’ promises can only be fulfilled by Him. Most of the time, when someone makes a promise, that person will be the person to fulfill that promise. Try as we might, you can’t get anyone else to fulfill such high promises as Jesus made. You can only get the promise of perfect peace from Jesus alone. You can look to other places or people or things to fulfill your desires for peace, love, life, etc. but none of those place, people or things can fulfill such high promises that Jesus can fulfill. 3. Jesus is the promise keeper. When Jesus said He will give you peace, then He will! Unlike most humans, His word can be trusted and will not fail you! He will keep His promises to you and never let you down! In conclusion, I learned that John 14 is the promise chapter, filled with promises made by Jesus, fulfilled in Jesus and kept by Jesus! Which of the three points most stood out to you? What are some of your favorite promises from Jesus? Share your thoughts below!

I liked point two. No one else can fully fulfill their promises...except One. "You can look to other places or people or things to fulfill your desires for peace, love, life, etc. but none of those place, people or things can fulfill such high promises that Jesus can fulfill."
