Bible Commentary

John 12:48

Scripture is not just good advice — it is God's authoritative Word. To reject Jesus is not without consequence. His words stand forever and will be the measure on the last day.

Memory phrase: God's Word is the final judge.

Talk about it: Why is it serious to reject Jesus and His words?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me receive Your words and obey them.
