G’day, Excuse me for continuing with this same theme… places whose 2024 study begins with John’s gospel. This surely doesn’t take away from those already studying John (FL) or other lists where it isn’t first. This is what we’ve found regarding places where the first study of the year is John’s gospel. All of these lists begin with John’s gospel, although the rest of the list might not be the same.
US: Montana/Wyoming, Idaho, CA, AZ, NV, Oregon, WA, Hawaii, Baja CA (Mexico), Alaska
Canada: British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, part of Ontario.
Other countries: China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Guam, Panamá, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba. French West Africa….
It was when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in HI, that the US entered the 2nd World War. For some years, the US and Australia were fighting Japan in PNG. Now all three countries are beginning 2024 feeding on the same bread around the same table (at least in God’s family).
In spite of Satan using some to send detracting, murmuring messages, it’s special thinking of God’s people strengthening themselves with John 1:1: In the beginning. We have heard that Satan subtracts and divides; God adds and multiplies.
Five fivers:
In the beginning, God created.
In the beginning, Jesus helped.
In our beginning, Jesus helped.
In our continuing, Jesus helps.
Jesus: Our all in all.
