Review
Read John 8:36-47
V. 37
Jesus talks about what true freedom is (its in Him)
And that if you have Him, if you are in Him you have complete freedom.
Here he saying that they are indeed the descendants or seeds of Abraham
They are the descendants of Abraham physically, but they still need a new birth .
they need salvation thru Christ.
They seek to kill Jesus because the truth (that sets you free) is not in them.
‘they are slave to sin, bound to it.
And because of that they want to kill Him.
V. 38
Jesus here shows again the difference between Him and them.
we all know the saying, “like father like son”
When a lion is born they are born a lions, with the nature and habits of lions
When a fish enters into this world, they know nothing but being a fish
we see behavior of a child that mimics there parents
kids are (in a way) a mirror of there parents.
The lessons that they learn are from them, the art of being cautious comes from the parents.
(ketchup, lLeyla),
Jesus is explaining that He knows who they are.
and they are not with Him,
That they are of the bloodline of father Abraham, but yet in still they want to kill Jesus.
V.39-40
The Jews, the same Jews that said that they are not in slaved to anyone, are now saying that there father is Abraham
They are not just talking about bloodline, but righteousness also.
They believe that because of there bloodline, they have salvation
But Jesus is denying this.
The physical lineage of the Jews have nothing to do with salvation.
Jesus tells them that if there were children of Abraham, they would be as he was.
(like father like son)
Abraham live a life of obedience, these Jews are living a life of sin.
V. 41
Jesus is saying that the Jews are doing to deeds of their father
They are saying that they are under God.
That they are God’s people
They want to kill Him, however they are of God?
V. 42-43
Jesus is telling them clearly.
If you were of God, If God is your father, you would know who I am.
You don't understand who I am, that I am He, because you cannot hear my words (you dont have the ability to hear my words
When pride gets in the way
What happens when we see pride?
We look at ourselves
we think highly of ourselves
we don’t stop.
and at times we don't see the truth, because we are focus on ourselves
- “I'm the pastor”
- I’m the pastor’s wife
- I'm the pastors daughter
When pride comes, we cant see, we blind ourselves
These Jews could not see anything, but there own pride.
again, Jesus here again pulls no punches.
Jesus is going to make it clear to them, who their father is.
V. 44
Jesus not only shares who there father is, but he explains the nature of their father, the devil
Jesus tells them that they do the desire of their father, the devil.
What does he say about him?
a murderer from the beginning
does not stand in the truth
no truth in Him
speaks lies
a liar and the father of lies
This is the father of the Jews, the fathr of those who are not in Christ.
There is not middle.
IN OR OUT
V. 45-46
Jesus again reminds them that because he speaks the truth, which the truth is not in them, because they do what their father wants, and the truth in not in their father)
Jesus then asks them who convicts Him of sin.
In John 5:18
The Jews accused Him of sin, but Jesus is without sin.
But the Jews in no way could make up of have evidence of Him sinning.
Jesus speaks the truth and they still wont believe Him.
V.47
Jesus says something heartbreaking to them.
He says that those who are in Him hears his words,
but He is not talking about these Jews.
They dont hear Him because they are not of God.
Jesus will later say:
Closing
this is a reason that Jesus wept of Jerusalem
The savior of all the world weeps because the the sin of people.
Out God cares.
OUR GOD CARES
