John 12:44-50: The Prophet of Our Salvation

Scripture Reading

1 John 5:20–21 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Intro

Who is your ultimate authority? Who do you listen to?

Who do you trust most when you have an issue or a question about life?

Where do you go?

We live in an age of prophets… experts… authoritative voices.

There is no limit to the places you can go for any answer you might need.

Having money trouble? Look for a Financial Advisor.

Need to lose weight? Go to a Nutritionist.

Need work advice? Read a business or leadership book.

When we have an issue we all look to prophets… authorities… trusted experts because we know we don’t have the answers.

That we need to find the answers outside ourselves.

And so we look for prophets… and we go to the prophets… who have the answers we so desperately seek.

Real Questions

But where can you go for real questions?

For heavenly things?

Spiritual things… Eternal realities…

Where do you go for the questions that really matter?

What’s the purpose of my life?

why am I here?

How can I be saved?

Where do I go to find joy and the true meaning of life?

Who can give us the answers our souls desperately seek?

There’s only One… and His name is Jesus Christ.

He is the only Prophet… the only way to know God…

the only way to know the true meaning of life…

The only way to know salvation.

And he only way to be forgiven of all our sins and have eternal life.

The Big Idea of our passage today… John 12:44-50… is a summary of the whole first half of the book…

Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God and the only way to be forgiven of our sins and have eternal life.

He is the only Prophet God has given with a sure and true word from Heaven of how we might be saved.

In this passage we are going to focus on Jesus and His Message…

The Prophet and His Prophetic Word…

The Light of the World who calls us out of darkness.

We are going to have three points today.

Let’s start with point number 1…

I. Jesus is the Only Way to Know God and His Salvation

John 12:44–46 And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.”

These words mark a major division in the Gospel of John as a whole.

They are the last recorded words of Jesus’ public ministry in the Gospel of John and they close out the first half of the book.

From here John shifts focus from Jesus life and ministry to His death and resurrection on the cross.

The first half of the book, theologically is known as the Book of Signs; the second half the Book of the Passion or the Book of Glory.

And with these words John gives us a summary of Jesus and His ministry as a whole.

What did He teach?

And most importantly… what are you going to do with Jesus?

With Christ’s own words, John gives us a call to faith and the eternal consequences of belief and unbelief.

Prophet, Priest, and King

And the major emphasis of this passage falls on Jesus’ words Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in Him who sent me.

Jesus being sent by the Father is a major theme of the Gospel of John as a whole and a major theme in our passage today.

Its used three times in just these 6 verses.

And the emphasis of Christ being sent from the Father focuses on His role as our Mediator… as the Messiah… as our Anointed Prophet, Priest, and King.

Now usually when we think of offices… or the roles of Christ… as our Mediator… we think of Christ as our Priest and King.

As Priest He offered a sacrifice for our sins and intercedes for us in Heaven.

And as King He rules our life having conquered all our enemies and bringing us into His eternal Kingdom of life, blessing, and rest.

But we don’t usually think of Him as Prophet or the Spokesman and Mouth of the Lord… the One who reveals and speaks the Word of God to us.

But that’s the emphasis of this passage… so much of it focuses on Christ’s word.

Verse 47: If anyone hears my words and does not keep them…

48: The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day…

And 49: For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.

Jesus is our Prophet, and while that aspect of Christ’s ministry is often neglected, I want to focus on why that is good news.

And that has to do with Jesus as Prophet is the light for darkness.

Darkness

In our sin… we are in darkness.

In verse 46 Jesus says I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.

Darkness here is sin… blindness… ignorance of God leading men to their own destruction.

The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going (John 12:35).

Elsewhere, Jesus called this darkness the shadow of death (Matthew 4:15-17).

All light God has given in natural creation is snuffed out by our unrighteousness and suppression of the truth (Romans 1:18-19).

We aren’t just blind… that’s bad enough… we have our eyes closed!

We don’t want to see!

The Natural Man does not accept the things of God nor can He because they are spiritually discerned (2 Corinthians 2:14).

Isaiah said this darkness… this blindness… this ignorance of God is so bad that those under it have no dawn… no light… (Isaiah 8:20).

Its a forever darkness.

And those who live in it… which is all of us in our sin dwell in distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish.

Its a thick darkness that cannot be escaped and will not dissipate on its own (Isaiah 8:20).

I want you to consider our plight.

Lost… Blind… ignorant of God…

With no good or light in us...

No hope… no dawn in this world… at best men groping in the dark on our way to Hell (Deuteronomy 28:29, Job 5:14, 12:25, Isaiah 59:10, Acts 17:27).

That’s the bad news.

That is… were God not so gracious to send Christ into the world as brilliant and marvelous light.

Isaiah 49:6 It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.

It is a work of God’s infinite mercy and grace that the light of Christ has shown.

That the Sun of Righteousness has dawned with healing in its wings for any poor miserable sinner (Malachi 4:2).

God could have justly and rightly left us in our own ignorance doomed to perish in our sins.

But He sent Christ.

And going back all the way to the very beginning of John… John 1:4–5 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life (John 8:12).

So that’s God’s grace and kindness in sending Christ as Prophet… but what does Christ do?

Two things:

He reveals God.

And He Reveals God’s will for our salvation.

Number 1…

1. Jesus Reveals God

John 12:45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.

This is an amazing statement.

Jesus equates Himself and claims Himself to be… God.

He did this earlier.

In John 10:30 I and the Father are one.

And John 8:58 Before Abraham was, I AM taking the divine name Yahweh upon himself.

As Christians we are Trinitarian.

We believe in One God in three Persons… Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

All Equally, all eternally God.

That’s why Jesus is able to say whoever sees me, sees Him who sent me.

Whoever has seen me has seen the Father (John 14:29).

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature (Hebrews 1:3. Colossians 1:15).

And why this is so significant is because Jesus is the only way to know God to Father.

God is invisible (1 Timothy 1:17, Hebrews 11:27, Colossians 1:15).

Paul says He dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see (1 Timothy 6:16).

John Owen said Without Christ we would have known nothing truly about God for he would have been eternally invisible to us…Without Christ God would still be to us the “invisible God” (The Glory of Christ, Banner of Truth, 12).

But John 1:14, as Prophet the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth…

Verse 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.

Without Christ we would still be ignorant of God unable to know or see Him.

This is what our Baptist Forefathers in the 1689 8:10 said: in respect to our ignorance, we stand in need of His prophetic office.

As Prophet, Christ took on human flesh.

Not just to reveal God as God Himself but to communicate Him to us… to make Him known… to condescend to us on a level we can understand.

So that in Christ we might know… love… and have fellowship with Him.

So as Prophet Christ reveals God so that we can know and worship Him…

And as Prophet He…

2. Jesus Reveals God’s Will for Our Salvation

John 12:46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.

This is the emphasis of the Baptist Catechism Question 27: How does Christ execute the office of a prophet?

Answer: Christ executes the office of a prophet in revealing to us by His Word and Spirit, the will of God for our salvation.

Without Christ’s special revelation… without His teaching and proclaiming to us the words of eternal life… we would have never known the gospel of salvation.

We would have been absolutely and totally lost.

That’s why Christ came preaching.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.

Jesus even said John 18:37 For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth.

Jesus is the Light… the Prophet… the Guide who leads us out of darkness into salvation and eternal life.

Without Him, we would never know the way to salvation.

Who has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man (John 3:13).

Who has a true and sure word from heaven how we might be saved?

Only Jesus.

Everything else… every other religion… every other worldview… every other philosophy is nothing more than man’s best guess.

As John said…

John 3:31–34 He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way… [That’s all other world religions and false Prophets]… He who comes from heaven is above all… [That’s Jesus] He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony. Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true. For he whom God has sent utters the words of God.

Summary

Taken together Jesus revealing God and revealing God’s will for our salvation show us that Jesus is the only way to know God and the only way to draw near to the Father.

I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6).

And as the Word of God incarnate in human flesh, Jesus is God’s final and definitive word of salvation for all who believe in Him.

Hebrews 1:1–2 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son…

Being sent from God Jesus spoke for God, on behalf of God, and in accordance with God’s given message - eternal life.

And the only question for us is: Will we listen?

And more importantly what does He say?

Deuteronomy 18:18-19 is an important passage for Jesusthat’s going to be working in the background of everything else we are going to be talking about today.

God speaking to Moses said…

Deuteronomy 18:18–19 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers.

Pointing forward to Christ’s incarnation.

And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.

This listening is not just hearing but whole-hearted faith and whole-life obedience.

And whoever does not listen to Him… does not listen to Christ… God Himself will require it of Him.

Quoting this passage and applying it to Christ Peter interprets this as being destroyed from among the people. (Acts 3:22-23).

Being cut off from the people of God and His salvation.

Not listening to this Prophet is dire so what is His message?

That message is summarized in the rest of this passage.

As Prophet Jesus pronounced Judgment on all who Reject Him.

And Promised eternal life to all who believe in Him.

Salvation and judgment.

Death and eternal life.

Let’s go to point number 2…

Jesus is the only way to know God and His salvation and…

II. As Prophet Jesus Pronounced Judgment on All Who Reject Him

John 12:47–48 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

So remember… Jesus here is speaking as a Prophet… God’s One True Prophet… the Great Prophet…

The One whom God Himself raised up from among the brothers… speaking to the incarnation… who shall speak all that I commanded Him (Deuteronomy 18:18-19).

And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.

Well this is it.

The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

To reject Christ… to refuse to listen to the Prophet… is to place yourself under God’s Judgment.

To be, like Peter said, destroyed from the people… cut off from the people of God and cast out from God and His salvation (Acts 3:23).

And if you look down at verse 49, Jesus gives us the reason why there are such dire consequences for those that reject the words of Christ.

For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.

To reject Christ is to reject God Himself.

Its to reject God’s very Word… the Word of God incarnate in Human flesh… God’s sure and only Word of salvation.

There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

There is a Judgment Day coming and everyone will stand before Christ to give an account.

Now you might be wondering what Jesus means when He says I do not judge him.

Christ will judge the world.

Acts 17:31 [God] has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.

That man is Jesus Christ… the GodMan… the Son of God incarnate in Human flesh.

When Jesus says I do not judge him, He is not denying that fact.

Rather, He is making the point that the purpose of His coming… the purpose of His incarnation… was not to judge the world but to save the world.

The most famous verse in the Bible…

John 3:16–17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Christ came to save His people from their sins.

To live a perfect and sinless life…

Die on the cross in our place for our sins…

And rise again three days later to give us eternal life by grace through faith in Him.

As Jesus said I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep (John 10:10-11).

But what’s the next verse after it says For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him?

Already Condemned

John 3:18–19 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

And going back to our passage where Jesus said the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day… this is that word!

We are condemned already dead in our trespasses and sins.

That’s verse 19…

And this is the judgment:

What are they judged for?

the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

They are judged fore rejecting Jesus Christ and no believing in His Word.

They people loved darkness rather than the Light.

They loved their sin… and their ignorance… and hatred of God.

And the reason they don’t come to Christ is because they don’t want their evil works to be exposed… they don’t want to give up their sin.

This is true of every person who does not believe in Christ.

All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one… there is no fear of God before their eyes (Romans 3:12).

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 6:23).

And on that Judgment Day… everyone that rejects Jesus Christ will stand before Him naked and ashamed.

Already condemned they will stand before Christ completely exposed and liable for judgment.

Judged by What?

Revelation 20:11-12, 15 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. [That’s Christ]. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done...And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

The books that were opened are the books of each person’s own, individual life.

And the rest of the New Testament gives us insight of what’s written down in these books.

Works… actions… and deeds… all things done in the body (2 Corinthians 5:10).

Jesus says we will give an account for every careless word we speak (Matthew 12:36-37).

Even our thoughts!

Christ will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart (1 Corinthians 4:5).

Nothing will be hidden on that day.

Paul even says [God will judge] the secrets of men by Christ Jesus (Romans 2:16).

The hidden things that no one else knows.

Everything will be laid bare.

As Hebrews says Hebrews 4:13 No creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

What a terrifying prospect.

Whose life could ever possibly stand up to such scrutiny?

The answer is no one.

No one is righteous, no, not one (Romans 3:10).

And that poses a problem because God says The soul who sins shall die (Ezekiel 18:20).

Psalm 1: The wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous…[and] the way of the wicked will perish (Psalm 1:5-6).

That’s what it means that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people (Acts 3:23).

They will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger… And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night (Revelation 14:10-11).

They will drain the cup of God’s wrath down to the dregs for all eternity in Hell (Psalm 75:8).

Standard

God’s Law demands “personal, entire, exact, and perpetual [or continual] obedience” (1689 19:1).

Even one sin sends you to Hell because that one sin is committed against the One True… Infinitely Holy and Righteous God.

How will you stand before Jesus Christ on that Day?

What account will you give?

What appeal will you make?

God will not break or bend His Law even one inch…

Whoever does not believe is condemned already.

But the Good News of the Gospel is that God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Active Obedience

Jesus fulfilled the Law on our behalf.

He lived a perfect and sinless life.

The personal, entire, exact, and perpetual obedience we all failed to live.

Passive Obedience

And He died on the cross in our place for our sins.

The wrath of God our sins deserved were poured on Him.

He fulfilled both the Righteous Requirements of the Law and the Penalty of the Law on our behalf.

So that instead of standing before the Lord naked and ashamed we are clothed in the perfect righteousness of Christ.

Dazzling white robes washed in the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 7:14).

Forgiven… Justified… Righteous before God with our names written in the book of life and every page of the book of our life recounting our sins covered in Christ’s blood each one declaring Paid in Full!

Believe in Christ and you will be saved.

Because, as we said, whoever will not listen to God’s Prophet, God Himself will require it of him.

All those who reject Christ will face God’s wrath and judgment.

But Jesus as God’s One True Prophet… One who could be wholeheartedly and fully trusted as wholly true… didn’t just preach a message of judgment and condemnation.

He also preached a promise of Eternal Life for all who believe in Him.

And that’s point number 3…

III. As Prophet Jesus Promised Eternal Life to All Who Believe in Him

John 12:49–50 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.

When Jesus says He has not spoken on His own authority what He’s saying is that He only spoke what the Father gave Him… what to say and what to speak.

The double emphasis of say and speak is not just saying the same thing twice.

Christ is emphasizing that in everything… with every word… He spoke the very Word of God.

A sure and true word from heaven from one who could be wholeheartedly trusted… wholeheartedly believed.

Its a call to faith.

And what was the word… what was the message Christ spoke as the Father had told Him?

And I know that His commandment is eternal life.

Salvation and the full forgiveness of sins!

Grace

Just on the face of it we should recognize and marvel at God’s grace to give a command of eternal life to lost and ruined sinners.

Not judgment… Not wrath… Not Damnation… Not all the things our sins deserve…

But God sent His Son to preach Good News… Redemption… peace and reconciliation with the very God we all sinned against.

God’s mercy… kindness… and grace is so far beyond us.

Psalm 103 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love…He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him… As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to us. (Psalm 103:8, 10-11, 13).

Command

And its interesting that Jesus calls it a command.

It is a sin to not believe in Jesus Christ.

The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30).

And whoever does not believe upon hearing the gospel… as you are here hearing the gospel here today… they will bring themselves under greater judgment… all the wrath of God… for rejecting the light offered to you (Matthew 11:21-22).

Words

Well what were Jesus’ words that the Father gave Him to speak?

We’ve seen them before.

You must be born again (John 3:7).

Unless you believe that I am He you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst (John 6:35).

If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death… as in the bitterness because they will be forgiven of their sins and have eternal life (John 8:52).

In short Jesus’ words were eternal life.

Eternal Life

And what is that eternal life?

What is that commandment the Father gave Christ to speak?

For the sake of this sermon… its two things…

Living Water and Resurrection from the Dead.

We see this with the verb cried out in verse 44.

There are two other instances in the Gospel of John where the root of that word is used in connection to Jesus preaching and proclaiming eternal life.

Living Water

The first is John 7:37–38 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “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.’”

This living water is defined for us in John chapter 4.

Jesus said… “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (John 4:13-14).

Its living water for thirsty souls parched and dry from the desert heat of sin and death.

Its life and cleansing.

And Jesus says its a gift!

If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.

Its a free gift of God’s mercy and grace.

And this gift is not just al little bit of water… a trickle… a drop.

It is a spring of water welling up to Eternal Life.

Its a roaring river or thundering waterfall that leaps up and overflows to eternal life…

The fullness of life.

Life abundant (John 10:10).

The kind of water that whoever drinks of it will never be thirsty again.

Resurrection From the Dead

The other way to describe eternal life is Resurrection from the Dead.

In John 11:43–44 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

This is on the heels of Jesus saying I am the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25).

The only One who can save us from sin and death.

We were condemned already… dead in our trespasses and sins… (Ephesians 2:1).

Spiritually lost dead and blind in our sin unwilling and unable to draw near to God…

And by the word of His power Christ made us alive again.

He delivered us out of darkness into His glorious light.

That’s eternal life… The fullness of salvation from sin and death.

Called out of the grave with a salvation that is so full, so complete, so perfect… that Jesus says Unbind him and let him go.

All our grave clothes are gone.

As Jesus said John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Living Water and Resurrection from the dead.

This is what Jesus promises to you today and forever for all those that believe in Him.

Conclusion

Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God and the only way to be forgiven of our sins and have eternal life.

There is no other Prophet.

There is no other sure or true Word from Heaven of how we might be saved.

Only Christ.

No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man (John 3:13).

Jesus is God’s final and definitive Word.

So what does that mean for us today?

Faith and obedience is the only proper response to Christ.

Faith

Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you’ (Acts 3:22).

Do you hear Christ today?

In His High Priestly prayer where Jesus prayed for those that had believed and would believe in Him…

Jesus said I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me (John 17:8).

Is that true of you today?

Have you heard Christ and received Him as the very Word of God?

God’s One True Prophet and the only way to salvation and eternal life?

Remember what God has said I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. (Deuteronomy 18:18-19).

And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be [cut off and] destroyed from the people (Acts 3:23).

Come to Christ… believe in Him and you will be saved.

He will give you living water and resurrection from the dead.

Obedience

And for us that are Christian… that have believed and received the Word of Christ…

Do you hold fast to Him and His Word?

Christ as Prophet means we 1. Believe in Him… 2. Hold fast to Him… and 3. Take His word of eternal life and salvation to the world

Jesus said If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples (John 8:31).

Worshiping Christ as Prophet means that He is our light and the source of all truth.

That we hold fast to Him and live all of our lives according to the light of His Word.

Do we obey Christ?

Do we listen to Him in all that He tells you?

Is He our ultimate and final authority and do we live all of our lives according to HI’m?

That’s the mark of a disciple… that’s the mark of one who follows Christ.

We live all of our lives… every second of everyday in all that we do… according to His Word.

As Peter said in John 6:68 Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God (John 6:68-69).

The way the truth and the life and the only answer for all our sin (John 14:6).

Let’s Pray
