  <itunes:author>Nick Oyler | Host of the Daily Bible Devotional Podcast “2 Minute Disciple”</itunes:author>
  <itunes:subtitle>This contemplative devotional episode reflects on John 5:39–40 in the New Living Translation (NLT). Jesus confronts religious leaders who diligently study Scripture but refuse to come to Him for life.
Host Nick Oyler invites listeners to examine their own relationship with the Bible and to let Scripture become a doorway into deeper encounter with Christ, rather than an end in itself. A “faith sharing” practice helps you pass along a truth from today’s reading to someone else.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>In John 5:39–40 (NLT), Jesus tells Bible‑loving people, “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.”
🎯Today, we consider the danger of stopping at information and how Scripture is meant to lead us into a living relationship with Jesus Himself.

  <description>In Matthew 4:13–16, Jesus fulfills Isaiah’s prophecy as the great light shining in the darkness. This 2 Minute Disciple devotional invites us to let His light shine into our lives and reflect it to others through even the smallest acts of kindness.
🎯 Exercise: Acts of Kindness — Pick up something someone drops today. It may seem small, but it’s a tangible way to reflect Jesus’ light. Offer a kind word or smile as you help. If the opportunity arises, let them know you wanted to brighten their day because God’s light has brightened yours. These small mom ents can open doors for bigger conversations about the source of that light.

  <description>John the Baptist pointed to the true Light — Jesus — yet many did not recognize Him. In John 1:6–13, we’re reminded that all who believe and accept Him become children of God.
We’ll reflect on the importance of keeping our eyes, ears, and hearts open to Jesus so we don’t miss Him in our daily lives.
🎯 Exercise: Look for someone who needs help today — carry a load, pick up something they drop, or offer a hand.
