Day 265: It’s the book we’ve all been waiting for! The most studied and widely known book in the Bible! But maybe you don’t know it as well as you think you do
 pay attention to the structure and you’ll get a clearer picture of the author’s intent

Beautifully said! And, when Jesus was asked about paying taxes to Caesar
 he said, “whose image is on the coin?” “Caesar’s,” they said. “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s!,” was His reply. Now I wonder

Day 267: As his disciples said, there are some “hard sayings” of Jesus in this passage. Jesus is clear— you must eat His flesh and drink His blood to have life. Why? Why such a gruesome act? Back in Bible college, I heard a sermon from a small country preacher at chapel one day.

Days 269 & 270: Jesus really lays it out for everyone— do you trust Him, or don’t you? Do you believe His claims or not? And Jesus doesn’t seem too concerned about cultural or political identity. There are “other sheep” from “other folds”
 there are those who know His voice,

Day 271: these next chapters of John are Jesus’s clearest instructions for His disciples (including us). If you’ve been confused by His parables and riddles, good news! He’s speaking plainly, with the urgency and clarity of a man with lots to say and not much time to say it.
