There are so many life applications in the book of John. Let’s take a look at a few and see how we can apply them to our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life Applications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • John 7:4-5\n
      \n
    • Jesus’ brothers seemed to have a sarcastic tone about them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Sometimes it is easier to make rude comments to family and close friends because they are familiar to us.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • We need to follow Jesus’ example – He responded kindly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • John 7:41-42 \n
          \n
        • They had pre-conceived ideas about the Messiah.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Because of these ideas, they were close-minded and set in their thoughts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Many of them jumped on the bandwagon of negativity and made judgments without having all of the facts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • So many times we do these very same things. It is important to seek the Lord in all things. Be open to what He tells you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • John 9:25\n
            \n
          • The blind man knew more than the experts because he had a personal experience with Jesus, not just book knowledge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • When you have a personal experience with the Lord, you can testify with boldness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Coming Soon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Once again, look for a few other life applications from the book of John to come out in this week’s “Saturday Morning Devotional.” As I read about the Shepherd leading the sheep, I couldn’t help but remember a time my sister showed a steer at the county fair. The funny story will be included!\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
