“Who is Jesus?”
Then they
asked Him, “Where is your Father?” “You
do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus replied.
“If you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”
…”You are
from below; I am from above. You are of
this world; I am not of the world. I
told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am He,
you will indeed die in your sins.” John 8:19, 23, 24
Jesus was
teaching in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put. The Jews asked Him, “Who are you?” Their inability to KNOW who Jesus was, is
evidence that they REALLY didn’t KNOW who His Father was. They were, more than likely, seeking information
on His HUMAN FATHER. And NOT
ACKNOWLEDGING that GOD was His FATHER.
So Jesus
enlightened them, a little bit more, with some “earth-shattering”
information. He stated that they were
from below, indicating that they were of this WORLD. And that He was from ABOVE, meaning He was
from Heaven. Jesus wanted them to KNOW
the consequences of UNBELIEF. So He told
them that they were destined to DIE in their SINS. If they did NOT BELIEVE in Him as God’s ONLY
SON, they would die a SPIRITUAL DEATH and spend ALL of ETERNITY in HELL, with
ALL of its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPE.
They were DOOMED because of their UNBELIEF.
Do you REALLY
KNOW who Jesus is? Do you BELIEVE that
He TRULY EXIST? Or are you LIVING in
UNBELIEF, and headed for an ETERNITY in HELL?
In order to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, you MUST DO the following
things. First: You MUST TURN AWAY from
your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO God, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. Then you MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and
ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. You MUST
BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that His is ALIVE in
HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God. Then you MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION,
and KNOW that you KNOW who JESUS IS, and where you will be spending ALL of
ETERNITY. So do this NOW, while you
still can. He’s waiting and coming
SOON!!!
