The Unbelieving People Warned

HOOK

Yesterday at The Message:

JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE

I CANNOT JUDGE JESUS BASED ON HUMAN STANDARDS

I WILL REMEMBER THE 7 “I AM” STATEMENTS OF JESUS

DISCLAIMER: When I give application points, and you don’t seem to agree with my summarized statements— be sure to listen again and read back on the passage that I based it from

Because if you haven’t heard the explanation to the summarized application points— you might take me “out of context”— example: “hindi ako dapat maligo”— “hindi dapat ako maligo kapag ako ay may sakit at ipinagbawal ng aking doktor!”

Let’s continue, open your Bible to John 8:21-30, once you got there, type Amen!

BOOK

John 8:21–30 NLT

21 Later Jesus said to them again, “I am going away. You will search for me but will die in your sin. You cannot come where I am going.” 22 The people asked, “Is he planning to commit suicide? What does he mean, ‘You cannot come where I am going’?” 23 Jesus continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not. 24 That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I Am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.” 25 “Who are you?” they demanded. Jesus replied, “The one I have always claimed to be. 26 I have much to say about you and much to condemn, but I won’t. For I say only what I have heard from the one who sent me, and he is completely truthful.” 27 But they still didn’t understand that he was talking about his Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the cross, then you will understand that I Am he. I do nothing on my own but say only what the Father taught me. 29 And the one who sent me is with me—he has not deserted me. For I always do what pleases him.” 30 Then many who heard him say these things believed in him.

Things to look for when studying the Bible— CHARACTER, COMMAND, PROMISES, EXAMPLE, CONVICTION, CHALLENGES & ENCOURAGEMENTS

In today’s passage, we see more the CHARACTER of Jesus— Let’s take a look

LOOK

WHEN: LATER JESUS SAID TO THEM

It is possible that it was the same day when the Pharisees brought the adulterous woman to Jesus

WHY: YOU WILL SEARCH FOR ME BUT WILL DIE IN YOUR SIN

Jesus warns that soon His audience may have a change of heart

WHO: THE PEOPLE ASKED

A crowd of people & Jesus

WHAT: THAT IS WHY I SAID YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SIN

Jesus condemns the people for failing to believe in him [ISAIAH 43:10]

Jesus actually is nod condemning the, but indeed he has offered them grace [JOHN3:17]

You will die in your sin

Who does he claim to be?— yesterday I gave you the Lord’s 7 “I am” statements— what are those?

I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE [JOHN 6:35]

I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD [JOHN 8:12]

I AM THE DOOR (GATE) OF THE SHEEP [JOHN 10:7]

I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD [JOHN 10:11]

I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE [JOHN 11:25]

I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE [JOHN 14:6]

I AM THE TRUE VINE [JOHN 15:1]

POINT: WHEN YOU HAVE LIFTED UP THE SON OF MAN

Refers to crucifixion— atoning death and glorification of Jesus

This foretold scenario may also alluded to [ISAIAH 52:13]

TOOK

I MUST BELIEVE WHO JESUS CLAIMS HIM TO BE

I WILL SHARE THE GRACE OF GOD TO OTHERS
