Today's Scripture

Insight 

John’s gospel has a discernible outline. Between the prologue (John 1:1–18) and the epilogue (ch. John 21:1-25), John focuses on Jesus’ ministry in word and deed to the masses (John 1:19–12:50). In the five chapters known as the Upper Room Discourse (chs. John 13:1–17:26), Jesus specifically addresses His disciples. These chapters comprise roughly 20 percent of the book and cover a very short amount of time. In this section, we discover core truths for believers in Jesus: lessons regarding servanthood and humility (ch. John 13); Jesus as the way to the Father (John 14:6); the promise, ministry, and work of the Holy Spirit (John 14:15–31; John 16:4–15); the command to love (John 13:31–35); and the need to abide in the Father’s love (John 15:9–17). In chapters John 18:1–20:31 John focuses on Jesus’ death and resurrection.

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
