John 7:40-46

40 When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This really is the Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” 43 So there was a division among the people over Him. 44 Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

45 The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?” 46 The officers answered, “No one ever spoke like this man!” 

Jesus Christ, thank You for Your fulfillment of every prophecy about You. Thank You for Your teaching and for Your life that has shown us what God is like. Today we pray that people across the Buddhist world will encounter Your words and Your story, through Christmas outreaches, online messaging, videos, and even dreams and visions. Reveal Your power, love, and salvation to them, so that they too will recognize that no one has ever spoken like You! Draw them to follow Your words of life and leave behind all other teachers that they have followed in the past. In Your powerful Name, Jesus, we pray. Amen.
