Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Gospel of John




(New Testament)

John 13

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him,[c] God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.

33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.

34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

36 Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?”

Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”

37 Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

38 Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!

(End of Scripture Passage)



Just when the Disciples get appalled and self-righteous about Judas, Jesus tells His most vocal Disciple, that he will deny Him THREE TIMES.

That You Will Not Give us an Assignment Without Providing the Means.

According to Your Will and Promise.
We Pray For the People and Leaders of Israel,
that They Will Look to You for the Protection
and Prosperity of their Nation.

May They Be Inspired and Led By You,
And Please Guide Them in All Things.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Because this daily meditation is posted on a conservative website, there are many forums and threads available for getting into politics. For that reason, I try to steer away from political subjects and tell stories from my own experiences and observations that illustrate a spiritual principle and relate to the Scripture Reading of the Day. Sometimes I am successful, sometimes not so much! :-).

Today's Reading has two very important factors that jump right out at me. The first one is:

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

This is revolutionary. Jesus KNOWS that His Disciples are about to be plunged into a scene of absolute horror, fear, and distress unlike any they have experienced. When a group is attacked, the natural response is to strike back, squabble among themselves, seek power over the group, and break up into cliques. We see this kind of craziness going on right now on the political scene on both sides of the aisle. The opposition gets more and more outlandish in their accusations and attacks, and those for whom we voted squabble, equivocate, and refuse to defend the very people who put them in power in the first place.

Which brings us to the second item:

Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!"

Jesus sees right through Peter's bluster and challenges him with this harsh prediction. Peter must have thought, "That's Not Fair!", and yet, when the time came for him to stand up for Jesus, he backed down, not once, but THREE TIMES.

We elect people because of their promises to us (I will lay down my life for you!) and we become disappointed when they give into the lies of the enemy. Somebody ought to bring a Rooster into the halls of Congress to wake these guys up!

Just my Humble Opinion.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Around JAN 2016, the last church with which I sang in choir, seemingly lost a court dispute with another faction and priest, and the then current congregation had to vacate.

The dispute, as far as I could tell, centered primarily on one group wanting to move more traditionally Roman Catholic, and my group which was more decidedly Anglican Catholic.

As I’ve indicated before, I personally am Noachide, yet I’ve long loved the musical traditions within the Anglican movement.

Now, suddenly, the court has ruled a seemingly final time to restore the Anglican group to the church.

I figure there’s a big Catholic church just three blocks away, and the other group can say their Rites there to their heart’s content.

I lost quite a bit of hearing in my right ear on a gun range about a year-and-a-half back, just wearing plugs instead of plugs and ear-muffs. Thus I kind’a think my choir singing days are over. But I’m just as happy about being part of the old church as a congregant, and hopefully watch and aid its growth as much as I otherwise can.

We’ll see what happens.

Prayers.... Even for me too this time.

Hi onedoug...sorry you had this experience!

It is very sad when factions mess up a Fellowship, but very much in line with what we are studying today.

ALWAYS wear double protection at the range...your unfortunate experience is a lesson to us all.

I too, am a hearing impaired musician. BUT we are in good company...Beethoven, Pete Townsend, Ted Nugent, Eric Clapton, and a few others are all in the same boat.
