Bible Commentary

John 12:17

Those who witnessed the miracle became witnesses. They could not stop talking about what they had seen. When God does something in your life, you become a witness too.

Memory phrase: Tell what Jesus has done.

Talk about it: If you saw someone raised from the dead, could you keep quiet about it?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, let me tell others what You have done.
