When Jesus
spoke again to the people, he said,
“I AM
the light of the world.
Whoever
follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of
LIFE.” (John 8:12)
But He
continued, “You are from below; I AM from above.
You are of
this world; I AM not of this world.
I told ;you
that you would die in your sins;
If you do not
believe that I AM the one I claim to be,
You will
indeed die in your sins.” (John 8:23-24)
To the Jews
who had believed him, Jesus said,
“If you
hold to My teaching, you are really my disciples.
Then you will
know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32)
Jesus
replied, “ I tell you the truth, everyone who SINS is a slave to
SIN.
Now a slave
has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it
forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
(John 8:34-36)
“He
who belongs to God hears what God says.
The reason
you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” (John 8: 47)
“I tell
you the truth, if a man keeps My word, he will never see death.”
(John 8:51)
“As long as
it is day, we must do the work of Him who sent Me.
Night is
coming, when no one can work.” (John 9:4)
Jesus said,
“For judgment I have come into this world,
So that
the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”
Some of the
Pharisees who were with Him heard Him say this and asked,
“What? Are
we blind too?”
Jesus said,
“If you were blind, you would not be guilty of SIN;
But now
that you claim to see, your guilt remains.” (John 9: 40-41)
“I
tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the
gate,
But
climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
The
man who enters by the Gate is the Shepherd of His sheep.
The
watchman opens the gate for Him, and the sheep listen to His voice.
He
calls His own sheep by name and leads them out.
When
He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them,
And
His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.
But
they will never follow a stranger;
In
fact, they will run away from him
Because
they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
Jesus
used this figure of speech,
But
they did not understand what He was telling them.
Therefore
Jesus said again,
“I
tell you the truth, I AM the Gate for the sheep.
All
who ever came before Me were thieves and robbers,
But
the sheep did not listen to them.
I
AM the Gate; whoever enters through Me will be SAVED.
He
will come out, and find pasture.
The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I
have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the full.
I AM the
Good Shepherd.
The Good
Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
The hired
hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep.
So when he
sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.
Then the wolf
attacks the flock and scatters it.
The man runs
away because he is a hired hand
And cares nothing for the sheep.
I
AM the Good Shepherd; I know My sheep and My sheep know Me--
Just
as the Father knows Me and I know the Father--
And
I lay down My life for the sheep.
I
have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen.
I
must bring them also.
They
too will listen to My voice,
And there shall be one flock and One
Shepherd.
The
reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--
Only
to take it up again.
No
one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord.
I
have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again.
This
command I received from My Father.” (John 10:7-18)
“If you
are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
Jesus
answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe.
The miracles
I do in my Father’s name speak for Me,
But you do
not believe because you are not My sheep.
My sheep
listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
I give
them Eternal LIFE, and they shall never perish;
No one can
snatch them out of My hand.
My Father,
Who has given them to Me, is greater than all;
No one can
snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
I and the
Father are ONE.” (John 10:24-30)
“Do not
believe Me unless I do what my Father does.
But if I do
it, even though you do not believe Me,
Believe the
miracles, that you may learn and understand
That the
Father IS IN ME, and I in the Father.’ (John 10: 37-38)
These are
POWERFUL words from Christ Jesus
And today,
His sheep hear His voice just as in every previous generation;
Those who
belong to God hear what God says and do what God says.
I pray that
those who read this message belong to God.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
