We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.
Read each others posts and write words of encouragements from now on!
Guys come on! Keep it up until the summer!!!! This verse to me means we should be thankful for our sister/brothers in Christ (YOU GUYS!). The other half is telling us the reason we should do this. The reason explained is because of your growing faith your love for each other is supposed to grow with it. Basically, it is talking about how we should start growing deeper relationships with one another as our faith grows. However, if our faith has come to a holt, your relationship with your sister/brother will grow dim. I also relate this verse to Glue Going Deeper.

"Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good." (Romans 12:9, 10)
This verse is explaining to us to not put ourselves in front of another person. We should always think about others first then yourself. We should dislike what is bad or evil and worship and love what is good. If we are selfish then we are not doing what God wants us to do. We should always be thinking about others just like Jesus ALWAYS thinks about us. Think, "WWJD?" (what would Jesus do?) We can and WILL be tempted by the devil to do wrong, and sometimes we will fall into his trap, but if we always know that Jesus is inside our souls telling us to do right, then we can conquer the devil and make him fall into his own trap.

"Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." -Ephesians 5:1-2 (NIV)
What this verse means to me is that we should follow God's example and follow him in his footsteps. We should be like Jesus, and resist temptation. This is not saying that you HAVE to be perfect, because God is perfect and no one compares to him. Jesus died for us, and we should thank him for that. He sacrificed him for us and we should give him recognition. Jesus put his life in the hands of God, trusting him that he will rise from the grave. Jesus gave a perfect example of trusting God. He put his life on the line, and risked it. Remember to always trust God, and follow him in his footsteps.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are
healed.We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:5-6
i think this verse is reminding us of how we should be thankful that we have been cleansed and forgiven through Jesus. With all of our sins we have commited we will always will be forgiven by the punishment that Jesus went through. Because of this we are referred to as sheep that have taken the wrong path by going astray and through all our sins, he carries them for us.
each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:5-6
This verse to me is again, talking about how Jesus died for our sins. What is interesting to me would be the sheep analogy. We are like sheep because we do draw farther and farther away from out shepherd until we are lost. When we are lost, God our shepherd would always invite us back in and lead the way in our life. Iniquity basically means sinful. The Lord has laid our ugliness and sinfulness onto himself.

"Now that i, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. i have set you an example that you should do as i have done for you." - John 13:14-15 (NIV)
This verse talks about the the Last Supper before Jesus was betrayed that night. What this verse means to me is that Jesus died on the cross for us. I mean sure he didn't really like it, but you can never regret doing the right thing. And Jesus never did and never will regret dying for us. He did it all for our sins and we should definitely pay him back. Devote your life, feed him to your soul, live for him. No matter what you do, there is never enough for you to give him. That's how ultimate his sacrifice was.

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” John 2:19
This verse is from the time where Jesus tells the people to destroy the temple. When Jesus said he was going to raise it again in 3 days, he didn't necessarily mean physically bring it back. A lot of people would have probably doubt Jesus. And yes, I doubt Jesus sometimes. I know he is there, I know he sees everything I do but I still do the things that I'm not supposed to. When I pray to God for safety and for everything to be alright, I still have a thought in my mind that is saying "what if this happens, or that happens...." God wants us to be faithful to him and TRUST!!

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
This verse is is reminding us that God shows us his love by letting his own son die on the cross JUST FOR US, sinners! We never did anything that Jesus should do that for us but he did because he loves us and cares for us so much. It's so crazy to think that someone will die for you just because they love you! Like what if a stranger just took a bullet for you because they are good hearted...you don't see that everyday!

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has tempted in every way, just as we are - yet he did not sin." Hebrews 4:15 (NIV)
What this verse is telling me is that the Almighty God humbled himself into a weak and sinful human, all so he could save us from our sins. To me, that is amazing. Jesus went through human hardships, like hunger, temptation, anger, etc. He did it all for us. And he never gave in. Short one:)

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has temped in every way, just as we are - yet he did not sin" (Hebrews 4:15)
I think this verse is telling us that we don't have a "Godly figure" on Earth to help us with our wrong doings that does not know what we go through, but we do have one which does know how to feel pain, sadness, anger, happiness, ect. That is Jesus Christ. He has been through everything a regular human on Earth does yet through that time he never EVER sinned. To me that is just amazing to think of that. It seems impossible to us sinful people, but of course not for Jesus! I do believe that it was hard for Jesus to go through those task. Jesus could of probably chosen to live without stress like we do, but he DID because he loves us. Amen Jesus!!!!
(Nice video rachel!!)
To everyone: do you think we should post any video, picture, poem, verse that inspires us that day or whenever so we can share with each other and spice up the blog a little? Instead of just posting writings from us. We can praise god and have fun with it too! :)

"And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his spirit who lives in you." Romans 8:11
I think this verse is telling us that we are filled with part of God's spirit. When Jesus died he was risen from the dead by God. So I think this verse is saying that the part of God's spirit that gave life back to Jesus is living within us. This way we are given"life" which i think means we are able to have eternal life and the ability to have a relationship with God. (btw if my verses are different its cuz im followin the today verse on the bible app which seems to be different from the other sic girls.)

"They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, 'Hosanna!' 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!' 'Blessed is the king of Isreal!'" (John 12:13)
This verse is about Jesus becoming king of Isreal and everyone is so happy because they love the Lord so much. They worship him so much that they will scream out to him in praise. This is what us christians should be doing. We should be prasing God not just on sundays, but at least try to everyday. It WILL become very hard for anyone, (even the most "holy" people) because everyone is not perfect, but if we just think of this verse and think of those people who would do ANYTHING just to be in the Lord's presence, that's just amazing. This can inspire us to praise God even more if it is from singing to him with a group or even alone to praying to him to reading the bible for 10 minutes. It can be that easy and if Jesus knows that we are trying to be with him and love him, he will be happy.

They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Blessed is the king of Israel!" - John 12:13 (NIV)
What I think this verse means is that when Jesus came, the people bowed down to him and worshiped him with palms. That is how important Jesus was and is. We should bow down to him every day, not just on Sundays, when we go to church. Jesus is the almighty god, and we should respect that, just like the people who were praising him in this verse. God is so amazing that he would send his one and only son to earth, to suffer, to anger, and to die for us.

John 12:13
They took palm branches an went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Blessed is the king of Israel!"
This verse is when Jesus is coming to Jerusalem to become King. The people are shouting "hosanna" which basically means savior or rescue. When the people felt unsure about their new king they relied on this one (Jesus) who performed miracles before their eyes. This verse to me for some reason tells me how Jesus was a human. From konosis Jesus turned into a human to show us that we could have a relationship with God and follow his ways. This verse shows me how human like Jesus was. He went through the same temptations as we do but always chose what God wanted him to do or not to do. I'm not sure why but this verse shows me that Jesus was once a human like us and he knows how it feels to be us living in this world.

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time" Peter 5:6
This verse means that we should always be humble because it is important that God can help us grow over time. When we humble ourselves, this can allow God to help us learn and grow spiritually

Hey! Guys! Keep it up, no slacking!!
1Peter 5:6
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time"
Humbleness is mainly the gist here. The bible is simply letting us know that when we are humble God will provide for us and give us a life that is according to his word. I can relate to this verse because a lot of times I struggle with humbleness. Usually I find myself bragging upon matters that aren't according to God. We are only suppose to boast on the name of the Lord. Amen! This verse is a simple reminder to me and all of us that God wants us to be humble so we could teach others about it.
