Day 270: Chronological Bible in One Year Devotional -
Yesterday we saw Jesus affirmed at His baptism. Today we follow Him into the wilderness and onward to His first disciples.
Mark 1:12-13, Matthew 4:1-11, and Luke 4:1-15 reveal Jesus led by the Spirit to face forty days of temptation. Hungry and alone, He meets the enemy’s challenges with unwavering trust in Scripture. Where Israel fell, Jesus stands firm. His victory over Satan secures hope for us when we are tested.
John 1:19-51 shifts the scene to the Jordan where John the Baptist identifies Jesus as “the Lamb of God.” Andrew, Peter, Philip, and Nathanael respond to His invitation, “Come and see.” Their simple yes begins a movement that will change the world.
John 2 opens with a wedding in Cana, where Jesus turns water into wine—His first public sign of divine glory. This miracle whispers of abundant grace and joyful transformation that only He provides.
From wilderness battle to joyous celebration, we see a Savior both mighty and compassionate, inviting us to trust His Word and follow His call.
Personal Reflection: Where are you relying on your own strength instead of God’s Word? Jesus shows that Scripture and the Spirit equip us to resist temptation and to live joyfully in God’s abundance.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for conquering temptation and showing the power of Your Word. Help me depend on Scripture when trials come and rejoice in Your abundant grace. Strengthen my faith so I may follow You wholeheartedly and invite others to “come and see” Your glory. Amen.
