• Message: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John 18&version=MSG

"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "What is truth?" Pilate asked. John 18: 37 - 38

There are so many things which we can never understand. People saw the power of Jesus and yet they wanted to kill him. Judah experienced Jesus' kingdom authority in a close-range way, and yet he decided to betray Jesus. Peter and all other apostles all ran away. Pilate did not know what is truth. People in Japan are suffering. The situation in middle East looks like it is going to explode. Why? Why? Why? What is it happening? Why can't we understand all these things? Is it confusion? Crisis? Depression?

Do you need to know everything? Are you God? What I just heard from Jesus is that John 17 is the preparation of John 18. We don't need to know but what we need is to be in Him, in unity and to be one. Just like a little boy holding his father's hand to walk through a maze. Without Jesus, we'll never understand. There is no truth without Jesus!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Hold my hand each day so that I can walk with you without asking why. Please hold my hand, Lord Jesus. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Welcome! The purpose of this blog is to encourage those who join our Disciplers 123 to have a place to start their daily devotion - a wonderful and intimate time with Jesus.

There are three reasons for you to use this blog as your daily devotion:

1. A healthy spiritual diet - One chapter of the Bible daily. We really need at least one chapter of Bible daily so that we are well fed.
2. A good example of Spiritual Journaling - What I have committed for 1,189 days(the Bible has 1,189 chapters) to write this daily post is not for teaching purposes but this is my daily spiritual journal - I write down what I hear from Jesus and how I experience His intimate relationship with me each day. I have launched a wide-spectrum research on daily devotion and have found out that there are less than 10% of Christians that are having daily devotion. Out of that 10%, many having daily devotion are doing so because of guilt (they know that they are Christians and need to have daily devotion and feel guilty if they don’t do that), duty (they need to fulfill their duty as a Christian) or study(lots of Christians primarily use their daily devotion as a time to study the Bible). I do pray and hope that you will make up your mind to have a relational daily devotion so that you can have an intimate time with Jesus. I pray that you will write your own spiritual journal as well.
3. An online discipler – One of the reasons that so many Christians do not have daily devotion is because they do not have a discipler. A discipler can help them build up this basic element of discipleship when they first become Christians. The best way for you is to have a discipler to walk with you for a certain period of time so that daily devotion become a good habit. Or, you may have a small group of two to three people to encourage and be accountable to each other so that you won’t stop your daily devotion. I offer myself as your online discipler to walk with you daily to enrich your spiritual journey. So, shall we start this journey with Jesus Christ our Lord now!
