Daily Bible Benefits with Pastor Bob Daley

Resisting Reality “Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day” The Pharisees were resisting the reality that this man was born blind. They also were resisting the reality that Jesus Christ was the son of God. They perverted the Sabbath day when they rejected the mercies of God done on this day. How many people take something that is right a...

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” This story started out with the disciples questioning why this man was blind. They thought it was because of sin, but Jesus said it was for the glory of God. Not all sickness is a result of sin; it rains upon the just and the unjust alike. I believe that Jesus is using...

Before Abraham Was, I Am John 8:48-59 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? The religious leaders of Jesus’ day were blind; they refused his words, his wonderful works. It was sad that they knew all about Abraham, Moses, and David, but could not make the connection after the apostle Paul’s conversion. He made the connection. H...

If God were your Father, ye would love Jesus “If God were your Father, ye would love me” It’s impossible to love the father without loving his only begotten son. Jesus said that these Pharisees’ father was the devil because they were trusting in the lie of the devil. The apostle Paul warned us of the antichrist. Even he, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying...

The Truth Will Make You Free “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” Before we were saved, we were in bondage to sin, but now that we have been born again by the Spirit of the living God through the blood of Jesus Christ, we have been made free, not free to continue in sin, not free to do our own will, but free to do his will. The apostle Paul said, “ But God, who is ri...

The Light of Life “he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” Jesus is the light of the world. Light represents truth. Darkness represents a lie. The Pharisees were not walking in truth. The truth was right in front of them, but they could not see nor hear the truth because they were trusting in themselves and their own righteousness. Paul, the apostle, deal...

The Woman Caught in Adultery John 8:1-11 “he stooped down, and wrote on the ground” An early morning Bible study with Jesus got interrupted by the Pharisees, who brought in the temple a woman that got caught in the act of adultery. But oh did they get a surprise! Instead of focusing on this woman’s sin, Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground, being convicted by their own conscience. They went...

Division Among the People John 7:40-52 “So there was a division among the people because of him” Can I say there’s still divisions today because of a lack of understanding of who Jesus really is John said Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world Peter said Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God Thomas said thou art my Lord and God the centurion said Truly this man was...

Rivers of Living Water John 7:37-39 Just as Jesus spoke, anJeremiah prophesied, therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Praise God it happened the outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon the Jews in Acts chapter 2 upon the Samaritans in Acts chapter 8, and also upon the Gentiles in Acts chapter 10 just as Moses smote the rock and water came out. Jesus was crucified, and now...

Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus “the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him” They sent officers to arrest Jesus Why, what did he do? He was righteous, holy, just, merciful, kind, went about doing good, healing all manner of diseases, and daily teaching in the temple. They didn’t know where Jesus came from, and they didn’t know where he was going because they were blind, and their...

Questions in the temple “Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Questions in the temple, whether Jesus was the Messiah, it all boiled down to the works that Jesus did. Will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? Not only the miracles, but the gracious words that he spoke and the compassion that he had for sinners that they would repent of their sin and turn to Go...

Righteous Judgment John 7:1-24 Making right judgments is so important to a healthy and spiritual life. It all starts with knowing Jesus Christ, that he is the Son of God, and doing his will. Right judgment concerning doctrine concerning Jesus concerning the commandments concerning the last days. Open our eyes, Lord, that we may be able to to judge righteously

The Words of Eternal Life John 6:60-71 “Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life” Here we have disciples, turning away from Jesus and walking no more with him because they could not understand his words. It’s so easy to give up on something or someone if you lack understanding. But Peter had faith in Jesus Christ, and his faith kept him going fo...

Life through the blood and body of Jesus John 6:48-59 “As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me” The Jews had a very difficult time understanding this. Yes, Jesus did give his body and his blood on Calvary for the sins of the whole world. Not that we literally eat of his body and drink of his blood. It’s by faith that we have this...

The Father's Will John 6:37-47 “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him” It was the father‘s will to send his son Jesus to this lost and dying world. It is the will of the father for us to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the will of the father that we would be raised up on the last day. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repe...

I Am the Bread of Life John 6:22-36 “I am that bread of life” Jesus turned the water into wine, healed the sick, fed the 5000, walked on water 3 1/2 miles, and they still did not believe. Can I say they had a heart and head issue? They were infatuated with Jesus. But did not commit themselves to him. They were unwilling to repent of their sin; they were content with their religion.

Jesus Walks on Water John 6:16-21 “But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid” The Sea of Galilee is about 8 miles long and 4 miles wide. One furlong is 1/8 of a mile, so there are 8 furlongs in a mile. They rowed about 3 1/2 miles across the Sea of Galilee. A great storm arose, on troubled sea. They saw Jesus walking on the troubled sea. They were afraid, but oh how things changed when Jesus...

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand John 6:1-15 “Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world” What a beautiful story about the compassion of Jesus Christ. There was a need, and he fulfilled it. How many times has Jesus seen our need and fulfilled it?

Witnesses to Jesus John 5:30-47 Moses witnessed that Jesus was the Son of God. John the Baptist witnessed that Jesus was the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. The Father in heaven said, “This is my beloved Son.” The Holy Scriptures witness that Jesus is the Son of God. The miracles that Jesus did witnessed that he is the Son of God. All the apostles witnessed that he is the Son of...

The Authority of the Son John 5:19-29 “That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father” Jesus was more than a prophet, more than a good teacher. He is the Son of God. Sent by God. He was hungry, but fed the 5000. He was thirsty, yet gave the woman at the well living water. He was buried, but was raised from the dead. Jesus was not an ordinary man; his name is Emmanuel, God with...

Healing at the Pool John 5:1-18 “waiting for the moving of the water” This helpless man was waiting 38 years for the moving of the water. Can I say you are just as helpless as this man if you have not been born again? But praise be to Lord Jesus that he healed. Our sin sick souls, notice the reaction of the religious. They wanted to kill Jesus because Jesus healed on the Sabbath day, and he called...

Jesus Heals an Official's Son John 4:46-54 “Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way” The first thing that Jesus did was check his faith. Are you looking for signs and wonders? This is a good lesson, not to seek signs and wonders, but just believe the word of God The nobleman put his faith in action and went, and his son was heal...

The Saviour of the world John 4:27-45 “Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?” What a wonderful story of Salvation! It’s amazing. What happens when you put religion aside and just focus on Jesus? The woman at the well was focused on the place of worship, not the person. Let us spread the wonderful news that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world.

Living Water “living water” What would life be without this living water? There would be no hope of heaven, there would be no joy. There would be no peace with God. There would be no true worship, there would be no salvation but with this living water, and Jesus clearly said what this living water was, it was the Holy Spirit living in you. You will have life, you will be able to worship God, you w...

John the Baptist Exalts Christ John 3:22-36 “God is true” Did you notice that John and Jesus were baptizing at the same time? The Pharisees and the Sadducees would not receive John’s message. Neither did they receive the message of Christ. “God is true” He is true to his Word. He is true to his Servants. He is true to his Promises. One of the promises of God was that he would send a Messiah, a Sav...
