Introduction
We’ve been working through John and we are wrapping up which is a conversation between the religious leaders and Jesus
Conversations are important.
Sometimes conversations are dangerous
We are going to see today that a conversation with religious leaders almost got Jesus killed.
Is it no wonder that religious people were trying to kill Jesus?
What would we do?
What would we do if Jesus came to our church today?
What would we do if Jesus came in with a homeless person?
What would we do if Jesus came in with people that don’t look like us, smell like us, talk like us?
What would we do if Jesus walked in with a gang member?
What would we do if Jesus walked in with a transgendered person?
Jesus wrecked the worldview of religious leaders.
If I had to bet we would want to kill Jesus too.
He would push us so far out of our comfort zone that we would have no other choice but to kill him.
Think about that.
Jesus was always putting the pressure on the religious people.
He didn’t come to save the righteous but to save the lost.
I need Jesus to hang on that cross so that my sins can be forgiven.
I need Jesus to pay my debt with His life.
I need Jesus to go in the grave to beat death.
I need Jesus more today than I did yesterday.
Let’s look at a conversation that Jesus had with the religious leaders that caused them to want to kill Him.
Stand if you are able.
John 8:30-59
John 8:
Let’s Pray
Jesus Saying #1
John 8:31-32
Do you know the truth?
Do you know the truth that will set you free?
We can be set free from sin
Key #1 - Free From Sin
There is freedom with Jesus
Not a freedom to sin
But a freedom not to sin
We are free from the bondage of sin
Do you want that freedom today?
Do you want to be free from sin?
Key #2
John 8:36
Jesus is calling us today to again be set free
Free from sin - we can be free indeed
Do you want that freedom today?
Key #1 - Free From Sin
Jesus Response #2
John 8:34-38
Key #2 - You will be free indeed
Don’t you want that freedom
Don’t you want to be free from your sin
This is quite an indictment
Free from the guilt
Free from the shame
You can be freed - Listen to Jesus’ words today
Key #3
John 8:42-47
Key #1 - Free From Sin
Key #2 - You will be free indeed
Key #3 - Your Father is Important
There are only two options
God is your Father
Devil is your father
That’s it - Jesus makes the accusation that the religious leaders father is the devil - they were trying to kill Jesus
They were listening to the father of lies
What are your desires?
Are your desires to love, share the love of Jesus, love your enemy?
Are your desires to hate, be filled with anger, lie?
Who is your father?
God or the Devil?
How do you know?

Key #4
John 8:51
Key #1 - Free From Sin
Key #2 - You will be free indeed
Key #3 - Your Father is Important
Key #4 - Be born twice, die once.
John 3:7
There are two options in this life.
We can be born twice, and die once.
Or be born once and die twice.
Everyone of us has an appointment with death.
2017 has certainly showed us that - I have conducted 7 funerals so far this year.
12 funerals in the last two years.
Each of us will die once.
The question is will we die twice.
We can have eternal life if we believe in Jesus
Or we can die a second death and be eternally separated from God

Key #1 - Free From Sin
Key #2 - You will be free indeed
Key #3 - Your Father is Important
Key #4 - Be born twice, die once.
Key #5 - Jesus is the I AM!
The Jews wanted to stone Jesus because He claimed to be God
Claiming to be before Abraham and claiming to be the I AM! led the Jews to want to kill Jesus
