Good morning. Back to the Light: I have come as Light into
the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. If
anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did
not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects Me and does
not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word that I spoke is what
will judge him at the last day. (earlier He said that people would be raised
from the dead on the last day, and now He says some will be judged at the last
day.) For I did not speak on my own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent
Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. I know that
His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the
Father has told Me. Jesus took His charge from the Father seriously. He knew
that He could not deviate at all from what He was to say. If that were you or
I, it would put us under a lot of pressure to make sure we said the exact thing
that we should because everyone’s soul would depend on us. Now we are ready for
the last supper, and we will see verses that to me indicate that it was not the
Passover, as the other three gospels declare. Father thank You that Jesus spoke
Your words exactly as You told Him to. In those words were Life - eternal life.
Help the reader to experience that life abundantly.
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 ...
