KINGDOM PATHWAYS DAY TWENTY SEVEN: Scripture Reading: John 12:26-50 Focus Verse: John 12:28 A Voice from Heaven Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record the fact that a voice spoke from heaven just after Jesus was baptized. Although John does not record that event, he is the only gospel writer who records this heavenly utterance. At a moment when the Lord’s heart was “troubled,” (verse 27) God was faithful to send a word of confirmation and affirmation from heaven! Some of those who were there heard only a loud sound because they thought that it might have been thunder. Others actually heard a voice, but did not recognize it to be the voice of God. However, the One who needed to hear from God most assuredly did. We can trust God that He will not leave us without direction and comfort as we walk our path for Him. There are only three Gospel records of God speaking in an audible voice from heaven and at least one recorded in Acts 11 and one and another recalled by Peter in 2 Peter 1:18. Revelation contains at least seven times where a voice spoke from heaven. However, the next big thing on God’s great horizon is the voice that we will soon hear when “the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). Prayer Emphasis: • Believe that God will not leave you without the appropriate words of comfort and encouragement when they are needed. Allow God to use you to speak such words to your fellow believers and church members when you are given the opportunity to do so.
