The End of the Line
44 Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. 45 And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”
1/ The Last Cry To The Lost (44-46)
God will someday honor the request of the lost to leave them alone.
2/ The Judgment of the Father (47-48)
God the father is the Judge and the word of God is the witness.
3/ The Authority of God
God’s authority is without opposition. It is final, it is perfect, and it is just.
Challenge: Do you hear the Word of God and act accordingly to it’s truth?
