Bible Commentary

John 21:23

Misunderstandings spread fast. It is important to listen carefully to what Jesus actually said — not what people think He said. God's Word must be read carefully.

Memory phrase: Listen to what Jesus said.

Talk about it: Why is it important to read the Bible carefully and not just repeat what others say about it?

Prayer: Lord, help me understand Your Word correctly and not spread wrong ideas.
