THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

All I Have Ever Done is To Tell You The Truth  

So Jesus said to those who believed in him, “If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples; you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

“We are the descendants of Abraham,” they answered, “and we have never been anybody’s slaves. What do you mean, then, by saying, “You will be free?”

Jesus said to them, “I am telling you the truth; everyone who sins is a slave of sin. A slave does not belong to a family permanently, but a son belongs there for ever. If the Son sets you free, then you will be really free. I know you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me, because you will not accept my teaching. I talk about what my Father has shown me, but you do what your father has told you.”

They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.  “If you really were Abraham’s children, “Jesus replied, “you would do the same thing he did. If you really were.  All I have ever done is to tell you the truth I heard from God, yet you are trying to kill me. Abraham did nothing like this! You are doing what your father did.”   John 8:31-39

I AM WHO I AM (PLEASE MEDITATE UPON TESTIMONY OF CHRIST)

YOU WILL LOOK FOR ME, 

BUT YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SIN JOHN 8:21-30 (Jesus and the Authorities)

Again Jesus said, “I will go away, you will look for me, but you will die in your sins. You cannot go where I am going.”

So the Jewish authorities said, “He says that we cannot go where he is going. Does this mean he will kill himself?”

Jesus answered, “You belong to this world here below, but I come from above. You are from this world, but I am not from this world. That is why I told you that you will die in your sins if you do not believe that ‘I Am who I Am’.”

“Who are you?” they asked him.

Jesus answered, “What I have told you from the very beginning. I have much to say about you, much to condemn you for. The one who sent me, however, is truthful, and I tell the world only what I have heard from him.”

They did not understand that Jesus was talking to them about the Father. So he said to them, “when you lift up the Son of Man, you will know that I Am who I Am’ then you will know that I do nothing on my own authority, but I say only what the Father has instructed me to say. And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone because I always do what pleases him.”

Many who heard Jesus say these things believed in him.

This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased – listen to him.  Matthew 17:5 Luke 9:35

“He really was the Son of God!” Matthew 27:54. This man was really the Son of God Mark 15:39
