Good morning. And the Father who has sent Me
has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His
form. You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom
He sent. You can know a lot of scriptures, even quoting them, without knowing
the One who wrote them; nor letting them change your life. You search the
Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these
that testify about Me. They “knew“ the Scriptures, and “knew“ exactly how it would
be when the messiah came; but since Jesus did not fit the pattern
they envisioned, they completely overlooked Him as being the Messiah. It is
very possibly the same today. People “know” what is supposed to happen during
the end times. They could easily overlook what happens, because it does not fit
the pattern they have envisioned. And you are unwilling to come to Me so that
you may have life. Since Jesus did not fit their pattern of the Messiah, they
refused to trust in Him for eternal life. I do not receive glory from men; but
I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. I have come in
My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name,
you will receive him. Sometimes people will come to a church and claim to be a
prophet or an apostle, and people actually believe him or her. These same
people would reject ones who actually were prophets or apostles, simply because
they did not proclaim themselves to others as such. Father thank You that You
answer the reader’s prayers. Help him/her to get done everything that needs to
be done.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
