Today's Verse: Jesus said: "I tell you the truth, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.” (The Holy Bible : New International Version. electronic ed. Grand Rapids : Zondervan, 1996, c1984, S. Jn 13:20) These words are spoken by Jesus to His disciples during the Last Supper and just before he predicts his betrayal.
Today's Comments: According to A Handbook on the Gospel of John, Jesus affirms His unity with that of the Father and His unity with His disciples. Acceptance is an act that takes place in the heart. Thus, if we accept God's word in the Gospels into our hearts, we can call ourselves children of God. And, as children of God, we have a father who loves us and cares for us.
