“I AM...I Go”

Blessings folk!

Today’s reading:

John 8:21-29
pastedGraphic
Jesus continues the conversation with the Religionists of the day.

He tells them much.
  • I go away
  • You will seek me
  • Where I am going you cannot go
  • You are from below
  • You are of the world
  • I am from above
  • I am not of this world
  • Unless you believe...unless you believe in Me...you will die in your sins
  • They must believe that Jesus is “I AM”
  • I speak the Words of Him Who sent Me

They wondered if Jesus was speaking of killing himself.
They did not realize that Jesus was speaking of Father.
They still did not believe.

Jesus tells them when they would know…
  • When you lift up the Son of Man...Jesus is speaking of His death on the cross

Yet, even then many would not believe...though many of the priests would believe!

Jesus did nothing of His own initiative.
Jesus spoke the thing that the Father taught Him.
Father was with Jesus.
Jesus always did the things pleasing to Father.

What about us?

Do we do the things that are pleasing to Father?
He is with us.
He is within True Believers.
