I Am John 18:1-11 NKJV 18 When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. 2 And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples. 3 Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?” 5 They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6 Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” 9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.” 10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?” I. Betrayal In The Garden I Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. II. The Cup Shall I Not Drink The Cup 2 Cor. 5:21 “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Vs. 37, “You rightly say that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
When I was a child, I remember the sense of security I had while Ronald Reagan served as our president. I also remember his farewell address to our nation and the great sense of loss that I felt knowing that he would no longer be serving as our nations president. John Winthrop preached in 1630 upon arriving in Massachusetts; in his sermon Winthrop declared his fellow pilgrims: For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. He also said of their future in Massachusetts: Beloved there is now set before us life and good, Death and evil, in that we are commanded this day to love the Lord our God, and to love one another, to walk in his ways and to keep his Commandments and his Ordinance and his laws, and the articles of our Covenant with him, that we may live and be multiplied, and that the Lord our God may bless us in the land we go to possess. John Winthrops sermon had a profound impact upon President Reagan for he placed that line about Winthrops hope and expectation that one day that land he and the pilgrims discovered, ...will be as a city upon a hill. I still remember President Reagans farewell address to our nation; I was in eighth grade at Neshaminy Junior High when I heard it. Reagans address is just over 20 minutes long, and although we do not have the time to listen to it, I would like to share with you his concluding remarks that I believe have affected our nation more than some of you may realize: I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still. And how stands the city on this winter night?More prosperous, more secure, and happier than it was eight years ago.But more than that: After 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home. We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for eight years did the work that brought Americaback. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger, we made the city freer, and we left her in good hands.All in all, not bad, not bad at all. There is a phrase introduced to our nation from another campaign that I was going to use for the title of this sermon... a phrase I have heard many Christians say or embrace that I have chosen not to use. I know that when some use the phrase, it has been and continues to be used out of a hope and desire for Americas good. However, I have instead chosen the phrase: America is a shining city on hill used by a president I still admire and respect. Jesus is Eternally the Same (vv. 7-9) What I dislike about a sermon series like Christians Say the Darndest Things is that today you will receive an exposition on Hebrews 13:7-14 without the benefit of seeing the wounder of chapters 1:1-13:6. We are skipping right to the end without gazing at the Christ who is, the heir of all things, through whom God also made the world. Right out of the gate in the book of Hebrews, we discover a Jesus who is, the radiance of the glory of God and the exact representation of His nature. In Hebrews we discover a Jesus who, upholds all things by the word of His power. The Jesus of Hebrews 13:8 is the same Jesus who, When he had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high (Heb. 1:1-3). Because Jesus is, the radiance of the glory of God and the exact representation of His nature (1:3), He is the Ancient of Days (Dan. 7:9). Jesus is the great I AM (John 8:48-59) because He is equal with the Father as the eternal Son (John 5:15-23). Jesus is He who was and is the Light of mankind because He is the Word who was in the beginning with God through Whom All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being (John 1:1-4). This same Jesus became flesh through the miraculous conception in Marys womb while still a virgin, He was born and lived among mankind yet without sin, and He lived for the purpose of dying for sinners like you and me on a cross. This same Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, and on the third day... He defeated sin and death by rising from the grave. For this reason, this same Jesus is highly exalted and upon Him is, the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil. 2:8-11). Jesus is the same yesterday in that when God the Father spoke creation into existence, it was Jesus the Son who completed it: for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authoritiesall things have been created through Him and for Him (Col. 1:15-16). The reason why the earth remains in orbit and every atom and molecule remains in place is because the One who is also the same today is responsible for holding, all things together (Col. 1:17). Jesus is the same yesterday in that He was the One before Whom Abraham bowed (see Gen. 18:1-22). Jesus is the same yesterday in that He is the One who wrestled with Jacob (see Gen. 32:22-33). Jesus is the same yesterday in that He appeared before Joshua as the captain of the Lords army, and it was before Him that Joshua removed his sandals and worshiped (Josh. 5:13-15). Jesus is the same yesterday in that He was the One who was seen by King Nebuchadnezzar in the furnace as He kept Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from perishing in blazing fire of the furnace (see Dan. 3:8-30). Jesus is the same yesterday. Listen, the same Jesus who provided Peter, John, and James the miraculous catch of fish that compelled Peter to fall to his knees and respond: Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man (Luke 5:8), is still the same today! The same Jesus cured lepers, made the lame walk, the blind see, and the dead rise... is still the same today! The same Jesus who died for sinners and rose from the grave is still the same today! The same Jesus who commanded us to make disciples (Matt. 18:19-20) and promised, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judah, and Samaria, and as far as the remotest part of the earth (Acts 1:8), is still the same today! And listen, the same Jesus who promised that He would come back in the same way that He ascended into heaven (Acts 1:9), is the same Jesus yesterday, today, and forever! The point is that if you get Jesus wrong, or if you miss Him, or if you choose any person, thing, or ideology over Him... you will get everything else wrong! The message of Hebrews is that Jesus is a treasure that no other treasure can compare. This is why we are told in verse 8 to, Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their way of life, imitate their faith. Those who truly spoke the word of God to you are those who did not get Jesus wrong! Jesus is the same yesterday. Everything in this World is Consistently Unsatisfactory (vv. 10-11) Because Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever... His life, death, and resurrection provide for us a more permanent solution to our sin problem. What this means is that Jesus cross is a better altar unlike ones used under the Old Covenant. The carcasses of the animals slaughtered on the Day of Atonement during Passover were taken out of the city to be burned; if they were thrown into a pile with the city and burned, they would have defiled the city. Not so with Jesus, for while living, he was led outside of the city to become a curse for us on the cross we deserved (Gal. 3:10-14), and by dying for our sins outside the gate, His blood is what makes us holy. What is the point? Here is the point: There is no person, there is no religion outside of Christianity, and there is no government that can do (if you are not a Christian) or has done (if you are a Christian) what Jesus alone can do. Paul Washer put it this way in his sermon preached to pastors some time ago answering the question as to how Jesus death on a cross for a few hours on a tree to save a multitude of men from an eternity in hell: Because that one Man is worth more of them put together. You take mountains and mole hills, crickets and clouds. You take everything. Every planet, every star, every form of beauty. Everything that sings, everything that brings delight, and you put it all onthe scale, and you put Christ on the other side and HE outweighs them all, HE outweighs them ALL! Brethren, this is the one we chase after![1] Compared to Christ, everything in this world is not only temporary but unsatisfactory. Jesus is the living water, and all the promises of this world together cannot compare. They are all broken and cannot deliver what they promise to deliver! The Old Covenant only provided a temporary solution to the sin problem of the Hebrew people; the work of the priests required them to remain standing for the need of a sin covering was ongoing. This is why just three chapters prior, we are reminded in Hebrews 10:1 of the following: For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the form of those things itself, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually every year, make those who approach perfect. Then in Hebrews 10:11-13, we are told of the only one qualified to address our sin problem: Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies are made a footstool for His feet. (Heb. 10:1113) So, why is it that we are chasing after the shiny things of this world that cannot deliver what only Jesus is able to provide? Christian, if you have the One who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, why are you looking for something different? Why would you long for anything else when you have He who is the Bright Morning Star (Rev. 22:16)? Jesus is the same today. If You Have Jesus, You are Waiting for Something Greater (vv. 12-14) These next verses serve as the crescendo of the entire epistle, and they begin with the word Therefore and if the author of Hebrews was texting you Hebrews 13:7-14, you would see THEREFORE in all caps because it is a very big THEREFORE! In other words, in light of all that has been said from the very first sentence of this epistle to verse 11, Jesus also suffered outside the gate, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood (v. 12). What was accomplished on His cross for our sins outside the gate on Golgothas hill has done infinitely more than anything else you have chased after thinking that person, or thing, or ideology would bring you purpose, peace of mind, or pleasure. They cannot give you what only God is able to deliver! Dear Christian, Jesus sanctified you by dying for you, his corpse was in that tomb for three days, and the proof that Jesus sanctified you is in the fact that He marched out of that tomb three days later! Who or what can give you what Jesus has provided? If you are a Christian, Ephesians 1:7-8 is about you: In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. What Jesus provided on the altar of the cross is only available for those who receive it, and those who receive it will never be the same because of Him. The evidence that you have received what Jesus has made available to you is a desire to follow Him. To any and all who wish to know Him, must follow Him, for Jesus said: If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul (Matt. 16:2426)? What we read in Hebrews 13:13 is no different: So then... So what? In light of the fact that Jesus is, the same yesterday and today, and forever (v. 7), and what has been provided on the altar of His cross for our sins (v. 10)... let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach (v. 13). The only reason anyone would do that is if they understood Jesus to be infinitely more precious and valuable than any person, any thing, any ideology, any city, or nation of this world. We chase after Jesus because in Him is life is and because He is life, He alone is the Light of mankind (John 1:4). We chase after Jesus because He is, the Light of the world and the one who chases after Him, will not walk in the darkness but will have the Light of life (John 8:12). Because we chase after Him and not the shiny trinkets of this world, He said of His Church: You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.... Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven (Matt. 5:14, 16). If you are a Christian, you are the light of the world because you have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb of God! He is the Alpha and Omega and He is the first and the last (Rev. 1:8, 17). It is before Him that the nations will stand in judgment and a day is coming when it will be from Him that earth and heaven will recoil in response to His holy and majestic presence! If you are a Christian, you belong to Him and because you belong to Him, you have no reason to fear Him who the tribes of the earth will mourn when He comes again (see Matt. 24:30). This may shock some of you and it may offend others of you, but you really need to hear this: America is not a shinning city on a hill! Here is what the Bible says about America and the nations that surround her: Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on the scales (Isa. 40:15). Because we follow Jesus, we chase after another shinning city, we chase after His city... a city, which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God (Heb. 11:10). Because Jesus is the same yesterday and today, and forever, we live as foreigners, aliens, and strangers even in the United States of America. America cannot be our shinning city on a hill because we are promised something infinitely greater: For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking a city which is to come (Heb. 13:14). Here is what Revelation 21:23-27 says about the city we really belong to: And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed; and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lambs book of life. If America is a shinning city on a hill, it is nothing more than a tiny piece of glitter in comparison to the city we really belong to, and what makes the city we are seeking, that is to come, infinitely more beautiful is the Jesus who outweighs them all. He is the same yesterday and today, and forever! [1] Shepherds Conference 2016 | General Session 9 - Paul Washer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkqVZm9-7jc)

I AM…….How could 2 simple words give so much hope and yet cause so much trouble. When Jesus is being questioned by religious people with a long history of belief in God, He claims that they need saving from their sin if they are to truly know God as their Father. They are indignant that they are right with God because they come from the family line of Abraham, but Jesus declares that His words have greater authority as, “before Abraham was born I AM” (John 8:58). Because of those two simple words, they picked up some rocks to stone Him. They knew that with those two simple words, that Jesus was claiming to be God Himself. (Exodus 3:14) Jesus' “I Am” statements have a radical inclusivity in His invitation (whoever, anyone) and a clear exclusivity in that He is the only one that can deliver what we need. This is a series with a clear call to believe in Jesus as the Son of God for salvation and an invitation to experience the life of Jesus every day.

I AM…….How could 2 simple words give so much hope and yet cause so much trouble. When Jesus is being questioned by religious people with a long history of belief in God, He claims that they need saving from their sin if they are to truly know God as their Father. They are indignant that they are right with God because they come from the family line of Abraham, but Jesus declares that His words have greater authority as, “before Abraham was born I AM” (John 8:58). Because of those two simple words, they picked up some rocks to stone Him. They knew that with those two simple words, that Jesus was claiming to be God Himself. (Exodus 3:14) Jesus' “I Am” statements have a radical inclusivity in His invitation (whoever, anyone) and a clear exclusivity in that He is the only one that can deliver what we need. This is a series with a clear call to believe in Jesus as the Son of God for salvation and an invitation to experience the life of Jesus every day.

Jesus’ words revealing His deity: 1. “Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM’” (John 8:54-58). 2. “Jesus cried out and said: ’He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.

Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM" (John 8:58). Though Jesus didn't begin His earthly ministry until about 1500 years after the events recorded in Exodus and Numbers, a careful dig under the surface of the recorded narrative shows us that He was with the children of Israel all throughout their journey to the Promised Land. This message looks at the spiritual lessons God wants to teach us through three stories that reveal both Jesus and His gospel to us: the episode of the manna, the water from the split rocks, and the serpent lifted up on the pole.

December 20 Sunday 2020 Pastor John Mathis Jesus the Hope of Glory / http://clevelandchristianfellowship.com / Share This Podcast On Your Social Media Cleveland Christian Fellowship 695 South Ocoee st. Cleveland Tn. 37311 For us, Worship centered around the Incredible Miracle of Jesus' Birth—It all goes back to Jesus. No Christmas was ever complete without Jesus—For its a Celebration of the Entrance of our Savior into Our World. He didn't get His start in Bethlehem John 8:58 58 Jesus said…Before Abraham was, I Am John 1:14 14 The Word was made flesh, and DWELT among Us and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father 2000 years ago, God Almighty put on flesh and came in to our world, as a baby in a manger in the town of Bethlehem. He grew up living a sinless life, He taught the greatest things ever spoken, performed miracles and died on a cross for you and me. An accurate translation of the word DWELT is “tented or tabernacled.” 14 And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, INCARNATE) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived) among us; and we saw His glory…such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father….AMP The Glory of God “tabernacled” among us in the body of Jesus. Through His consummation of the Father's great plan of redemption in our new birth, He becomes, "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col. 1:27). Isaiah 9:6, 7 6 For unto US a child is born, unto US a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace 7 Of the increase of His Government and Peace there shall be no end Isaiah 7:13, 14 The prophet Isaiah—looking down through time some 750 years, points out that a virgin from the house of David would give birth 14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign, Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel (INCARNATE) Matthew 1:23 We see this repeated in Matthew's account… 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel (literally “God Became One Of Us”) INCARNATION: One person with two natures. He did this without ever ceasing to be God. The Greek tells us that Jesus “emptied or limited” Himself when He came in the likeness of man Philippians 2:6-8 He made Himself of no reputation God always had a plan—a plan that would bring Redemption Galatians 4:4-7 Because He came, we have Peace with God and Total Victory on Earth—we NOT ONLY have the Promise of Eternity but also the Promise of the Life that NOW IS 1 Timothy 4:8 Romans 15:13 Paul says… 13 May the God of Hope fill you with Joy and Peace In Believing, that you may Abound in Hope through the Power of the Holy Ghost http://clevelandchristianfellowship.com https://www.facebook.com/Cleveland-Christian-Fellowship-295109417759943/ Website https://the-prodigalson.com Email the-prodigalson@outlook.com YouVersion Bible App https://my.bible.com iOS App https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prodigal-son/id1450529518?mt=8 Android App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.wizzard.android.prodical Social Media https://www.facebook.com/The-Prodigal-SON-209069136315959/ https://www.facebook.com/noreligion1511/ https://twitter.com/noreligion1511 https://www.instagram.com/noreligion1511/ https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCPx4s1CLkSYef6mp4dSuU4w/featured
Today on the podcast you get to hear from the hilarious and incredibly profound Pastor Nick Person. Nick is a Father, a husband, and a teaching pastor at New Vision Baptist Church in our local community. He is a man who loves the Lord and the Word of God, and in this episode, there is so much meat, that I would definitely call it a note taker of equal amounts of challenge and encouragement. Nick shares an incredible word about the ministry of being a husband and a Father, and then he also unpacks what that role looks like as the head of a bi-racial family during a time of racial unrest. We also talk about the painful, but somewhat necessary refinement that 2020 has brought, and the Gospel-centered call for reconciliation and pursuing unity as the body of Christ no matter what we look like, how we vote, or anything that makes us different because we are all made by the Father, saved by the Son and filled with the Holy Spirit. This is one power packed conversation, y’all, and listen if you don’t have time to hear it all, fast forward if you have to and get to the last 10 or 15 minutes where Nick talks about what is true about God, and true about you and I no matter what happens on Election Day. Then, Nick leaves us all with a blessing and a prayerful petition for the hearts of those chasing after God’s Kingdom. Nick says,“you don’t have to think like me, and vote like me to sit at the table of the King with me.” And I want to sit at the table with you, friend. This conversation is an incredibly profound Gospel-centered perspective about how to walk in these coming days leading to the election, but even more so in the after, and I’m honored and humbled to share it with you. --- *This episode was sponsored by : Tony Crabtree of Crabtree Homes with Exit Realty Listeners can go to www.crabtreehomestn.com or http://bit.ly/mulitpleoffers to receive the free e-book "7 Tips to Beating Out Multiple-Offers on the Home of Your Dreams" Facebook.com/tonycrabtreehomes instagram.com/tonycrabtreehomes youtube.com/c/tonyteaches References: -PCA -New Vision Baptist Church (I LOVE this church.

Into the BookFind Satisfaction in ChristRead or WatchSome meals have the power to transport us back to a simpler time. Often high in calories and loaded with sentimental attachment — we call them comfort food. Maybe it's a freshly baked apple pie, a big bowl of macaroni and cheese, or a tray full of warm chocolate chip cookies.In this week's readings in John's gospel, Jesus serves up a few "dishes" that aren't just comforting but eternally satisfying.The Food of God's WorkOn Monday (John 4), Jesus offers a Samaritan woman "living water" from "a spring of water welling up to eternal life" (John 4:9-14). His disciples return with lunch, but Jesus declines, saying, "I have food to eat that you do not know about ... My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work" (John 4:32-34). And when the Samaritan woman brought her friends to hear his teaching, many of them believed. Then he continued God's work by healing an official's son in Capernaum.On Tuesday (John 5), Jesus tells a man by the pool of Bethesda to "Get up, take up your bed, and walk" (John 5:8). And as the Jews criticize him for healing on the Sabbath, he tells them, "My Father is working until now, and I am working" (John 5:17). He explains his authority to judge the world and calls everyone to believe in God's Son and be saved (John 5:19-29). For further proof, he summons four witnesses to the stand — John the Baptist, his miraculous works, God the Father, and Scripture (John 5:30-47). What do you learn about teaching the gospel from Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman?Are you willing to believe the testimony Christ presented?The Bread of LifeThen on Wednesday (John 6), as Jesus teaches across the Sea of Galilee, he provides a miraculous meal for over five thousand people (John 6:1-15). Then he walks on water to meet his disciples in the middle of the night (John 6:16-21). And after the crowds chase him down, he challenges them with these shocking words:"I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst ... Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day" (John 6:35, 54-55).Though his disciples believed, many in the audience turned away and stopped following him from then on (John 6:60-69).How would you have reacted to Jesus' statement about eating his flesh and drinking his blood?Rivers of Living WaterOn Thursday (John 7), Jesus' brothers urged him to attend the Feast of Booths in Judea. But instead of going, Jesus follows behind secretly to listen in on the festivities (John 7:1-9). He went to the temple to teach (John 7:14-24), but his message raised plenty of questions (John 7:25-36). And on the final day of the feast, he stood up publicly and said, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water'" (John 7:37-38). But again, many were unwilling to believe.Finally, on Friday (John 8), the Jews came to test Jesus, asking him what they should do with a woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11). Pointing to their hypocrisy, he called on the sinless ones to stone her first. And after they all went away, he told her to "go and sin no more" (John 8:11). He continued teaching that he is the "light of the world" (John 8:12-30), that his words "will set you free" (John 8:31-38), and "before Abraham was, I AM" (John 8:48-59).What did Jesus mean when he said, "rivers of living water" would flow from our hearts? How does Christ's compassion for the adulterous woman change the way you relate to the world?Support the Show

“Before Abraham was, I AM” John 8:48-59 July 2, 2017 Licentiate Aaron Suber ----more---- John 8:48 The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” 49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” 52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’ 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?” 54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’ 55 But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” 57 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” 59 So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple. True disciples abide in my word (31-28) You will serve your father (39-47) Accusation and doubt (48-52) Before Abraham was I AM (53-59)
