The Book Of John John 6:41-47

for educators
So the Jews grumbled about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, Whose father and mother we know? How does He
say, “I have come down from heaven?” Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves.
No one can come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me draws Him. And I will raise him up on the
last day. It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard
and learned from the Father comes to Me – not that anyone has seen the Father except He Who is
from God; He has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.

There’s a Word for that! Fear of the Lord

1

Fear and friendship don’t seem to go together, yet….”What a friend we have in Jesus! All our sins
and griefs to bear. And what a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer.”
5

Psalm 25:14 - The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear Him, and He makes known to them
His covenant.

Dear Heavenly Father,

You have reserved Your friendship with us who
fear You. While many may shutter at the fact
Y

that You are feared, we know Lord, that fear is

also awe for what You have done and how You
are always with us. You promised that You
would never leave us or forsake us. Fear is a gift
knowing that You didn’t have to create us and
A

this beautiful world, but You have extended

Your friendship to those of us who know You
and want to know You more. Thank You Lord
for Your covenant. We ask in the awesome and
D

fearful name of Jesus. Amen.
