Jesus Is The Truth. People Hate The Truth.

John 14:6

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

There is a lot of Bible Doctrine in John 14:6. This is Jesus speaking.

“I Am” is the Title for God. Jesus is saying that he is God.

“The Truth.” The Truth is what is real and Honest. If you correctly recount something you did than you are telling the Truth for example. More on the Truth later.

Ephesians 4:21

“21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:”

Jesus is the Truth. When a Person is open minded and they hear the Truth of Jesus from the Scriptures taught to them they will Accept Jesus and get Saved.

The Entire Passage:

Ephesians 4:

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

These Gentiles (Exactly like people today.) Rejected Jesus. They are Ignorant and Vain. They are their own gods walking in their own truths they have created in their Blind Hearts.

They have Rejected the Truth they were told from the Scriptures about Jesus. Jesus the Way the Truth and the Life.

Once a person has completely Rejected Jesus they turn their Lives over to Sin.

Directions for Christians:

Ephesians 4:

20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

“The Life” This is Jesus saying that he created the Heavens and the Earth and all the Life in the Heavens and the Earth. Again Jesus is saying that he is God.

John 1:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

“No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Jesus is the ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. Salvation is Through Jesus ONLY.

1st Corinthians 15:

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

A person is Saved by Believing the Gospel only for their Salvation. Jesus as God became a human. He Lived a Perfect Sinless Life. He laid down his Life to Save mankind. Jesus Died, was Buried and he Rose from the Dead 3 days later to pay the Penalty for all of the Sins of the Human Race.

The Truth:

Jesus affirmed that He is the Truth. Not a Truth, not one of the Truths. Jesus is the only Truth. Meaning no one else can determine what is Right what is Wrong. What is True (Right) is the opposite of what is Wrong. Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He will judge the entire world. Because no one else can. No one else is the Truth.

Deuteronomy 32:

3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Verse 4 is a direct reference to Jesus the Rock in 1st Corinthians 10:4

“And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”

We see Jesus as God clearly in the Old Testament. Deuteronomy chapter 32 and 1 Corinthians chapter 10 speak of Jesus being God. The Rock, The Truth.

The entire passage:

1st Corinthians 10:

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Again, Jesus right here is God in the Old Testament. The people in the Old Testament knew of Jesus as God. Moses taught them about Jesus. Spiritual meat is the Scriptures. The children of Israel the Jews were taught the Scriptures by Moses. In these Scriptures they were taught that Jesus is God that would Die for the Sins of the World.

Spiritual meat is the Scriptures:

Hebrews 5:

12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

1st Corinthians 10:

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

1st Corinthians Chapter 10 explains that Jesus was known as God the Rock in the Old Testament. That the Scriptures were written to Teach us God’s Truth.

How the children of Israel rejected God and many were killed by serpents because of their Sins. God Hates Sin. Sin always has consequences in this Life.

People Go to Hell because they Hate the Truth (Jesus). People do not rage with Anger when someone says or teaches about Allah, Krishna, Radha, Rama Sita, Shiva, Durga, gods of other Religions. I do not hear people using other Religion’s gods as swear words.

No, the Hate and Anger people have is directed at Jesus, his Deity, Jesus as God. I have to turn off Movies and TV because many Movies and TV shows are constantly saying: “G_d Dammit.” “Jesus Christ” as swear words. TV and movies do not curse other Religions gods.

Jesus / Christianity is Hated because it exposes the Truth.

What Truth? That we are Sinners that deserve to go to Hell.

People do not want to be told how Evil and Vile they are. The Truth, the Word of God exposes people’s Sins and they Hate it.

John 3:

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

People hate to hear the Truth because they know it is the Truth. They know how Vile and Evil they are but they do not care. They want to have Secret hidden Lives. They are Two Faced. They act one way with their Family. Another way at Work. And yet another way with their Buddies. Their Friends, the people they enjoy Sinning with. Drinking, Smoking, doing Drugs, Fornicating, committing Adultery and all manner of Evil.

Some just do not care. They Love their Sins and they proudly post pictures and videos of themselves Sinning. But they still have a Quick Temper when someone tries to tell them about Jesus. When someone is trying to tell them the Gospel. They get mad and start swearing. Why, because they Love their Sins and Hate Jesus. They Hate the Truth. Inside themselves they know the Truth. They know they are headed to Hell. They like to think that Hell will be this great party where they will hang out with Satan and all of their Friends. There are Songs just about this.

Jesus talks about these people:

John 8:

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

People Go to Hell because they refuse to Believe the Truth. “Because I tell you the Truth” See people know the Truth. They refuse to Believe it because they know it is the Truth. This is Rejecting the Truth. This is Rejecting Jesus. “And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.”

46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

“Of God” A person of God (Even people that have not been Saved yet.) “Of God” means a person who is open to hearing God’s Word. A person who wants to know the Truth. A person who does not reject the Truth of God’s Word. A person who does not Reject Jesus.

48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

Jesus and all of Jesus’ followers, Christians are attacked.

Satan’s Devils, his minions accuse Christians of Lying and Teaching Satan’s Lies. They do not want people to know the Truth so they Mock Christians and Christianity. They have their own False Counterfeit Christianity.

50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

What is Jesus saying? What did Jesus teach about himself, about how a person is Saved?

John 3:

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John 4:

7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Jesus Teaches that to Be Saved all you have to do is Ask him to Save you. To Believe in him. To Believe in his Death, Burial, and Resurrection, the Gospel to Save you.

Jesus Said, I Never Knew You: Depart from me…

The 7 Words No One Wants To Hear: I Never Knew You: Depart From Me…

Matthew Chapter 7 is twisted by False Teachers to Teach a Works based Salvation.

Matthew 7:23 “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Why did Jesus not know them? Because they were not Saved. They never Asked Jesus to Save them. They Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation. They were trusting in their own Self-Righteousness to get them into Heaven.

John Chapter 10 explains their Rejection perfectly.

John 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.

24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

Jesus did plainly say that he was the promised: Christ, the Messiah. He was daily reading in the Temple proclaiming he was the Messiah foretold in the scriptures. Jesus Preached his coming Kingdom everywhere he went. Jesus Declared himself God and King.

John Chapter 5 is a perfect example.

John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus was Crucified because he Claimed to be the Christ, the Messiah foretold in the Scriptures. Verse 18 is clear the Jews sought to Kill Jesus because he said he was God.

Jesus Daily made it clear that he was God in the Flesh that came to Save the World from their Sins.

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

Right here in verse 14 Jesus is Telling the People that he would be Crucified. Moses put a serpent on a wooden stick and lifted it high so everyone could see. The people who looked upon it were Saved.

Numbers 21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3:14-18 are Jesus own words describing how he came to Save the World. Everyone who Believes in Jesus will be immediately Saved.

The Jews in Chapter 10 are the same Jews that are here in Chapter 5. Like all Unbelievers / False Teachers, from the past and from today they instantly Rejected the Truth when it was told to them. They endlessly asked Jesus to keep repeating himself. They constantly badgered Jesus with the same questions.

All throughout the Gospels. These Unbelievers and the False Religious Leaders (the Sadducees and the Pharisees) continuously demanded Jesus to submit to their Authority. They Rejected Jesus as the Messiah. Today is no different. “Christian” Churches Reject Jesus as The Savior. They add Works to the Gospel. “You must Repent of your Sins to be Saved.” “You have to be Baptized to be Saved.” “You have to speak in tongues to prove you are Saved.” And on and on and on with False Conditions to Salvation…

John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

Verses 19-21 Explain Jesus relationship with God the Father. Jesus is God the Son, the second member of the Holy Trinity. God is one God in 3 Person’s. We see that Jesus is equal to God the Father. Whatever God the Father does, Jesus can do too. It is important to know that God knows we can not comprehend this.

1st Timothy 3:16 “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

Jesus being God in the flesh is a great mystery. Our human minds can not process this. This is why Christianity is called the Christian Faith. It takes Faith to Believe this, to Believe the Bible. The Truth of the Bible is proven through Historical Facts. Jesus life, Crucifixion, and resurrection are all Historical facts.

John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Verses 22, 23 Jesus is saying he is God. The Jews present understood this.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Verse 24 Is a Salvation, Eternal Life verse. The Bible teaches a person is Saved by Believing Jesus Words given to us in the Bible. What words in particular? In particular Believe on me, Believe in me. Jesus says this over and over and over again. Jesus’s Apostles his Disciples say this too. Salvation is Belief in Jesus Only to Save You. To Believe the Gospel to Save You.

John Chapter 3 teaches we are Saved by Believing in Jesus. Believing that Jesus came to Save the world. Jesus declared himself to be the promised Messiah. The Old Testament teaches that the Messiah would die for the Sins of the World. Just Read Isaiah 53.

Jesus opened to Isaiah 53 in the Synagogue he said these Scriptures refer to me. Jesus said that he came to fulfill these Scriptures promises. This is exactly why the Jewish Leaders sought to Kill him because Jesus claimed to be the Promised Messiah that would Die for the Sins of the World. They Rejected Jesus and went about working their way to Heaven. The Church Leaders of today are doing the same thing.

25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.

Jesus’s miracles: feeding thousands of people, healing the sick, raising the Dead were done to Prove that he is God, the Promised Messiah.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

Verses 26-30 Jesus is calling them out for not Believing in him. They are not his Sheep because they have not Believed in him. Jesus is again explaining that he is God who gives Eternal Life, which no one can take away from those who have Believed in him.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

Verses 31-39 The Jews Intended to Stone Jesus to Death. Because he in their words is committing Blasphemy. By calling himself God / the Son of God. In verse 38 even though they want to Murder him, Jesus is pleading with them. To Believe in him because of all of the Miracles he has done. Jesus has Incredible Mercy.

Matthew Chapter 7.

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Take the Narrow Gate.
Take the Narrow Gate

People (People who claim to be Christians) do not understand verses 13 and 14. There are numerous illustrations of the Straight Narrow Path to Heaven, and the Wide Broad Path to Hell. None of these illustrations come close to getting it right. The typical illustration is the Broad Path (The way to Hell) being 3 times wider than the Narrow Path leading to Heaven. No that is not close to right. (The illustration I found above is just equal paths. That illustration is just showing that you have to make a Choice to either Accept Jesus and Go to Heaven or to Reject Jesus and Go to Hell. It shows 1 person on the Narrow Path and a lot of people on the Wide Path which is accurate.)

The Narrow Path in a more realistic Biblical illustration would be a Narrow River 3 feet wide just a stream. While the Broad Path would be the Pacific Ocean. Yes this is what Jesus is saying. Vs. 14 “…and few there be that find it.”

Few is an incredibly small number. Jesus wants Everyone to know that of the Billions of people that are Born from the Beginning of time to the End of time there will be Few people that get Saved. My Belief is that A Million or Two Million people of everyone who has ever been born will be Saved. Everyone Else Will Go to Hell / The Lake of Fire because they Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

Most Pastors / Bible Teachers (Almost all of these people are Lost) Act like the Numbers are: (Let’s say that 10 Billion is the total number of people who will have ever lived.) out of 10 Billion People 7 Billion will go to Hell / the Lake of Fire. And 3 Billion will go to Heaven. That is not what Few means. That is still a huge number of Saved people.

Another example would be: A mother tells her son that he can open the new bag of Candy. (The Bag is marked, 500 pieces of candy.) You can have a few pieces, do not take more than 3. That is what a Few means. 3 out of 500 is a Few. As the number grows the ratio stays small like a Million or Two Million out of 10 Billion. In this case the number of a Million or Two million would be Few. Even though a Million taken by itself is a Large Number.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Verses 15-20 are twisted to teach Works Salvation. The entire context is in verse 15: “Beware of False Prophets…” everything in verses 15-20 is talking about False Prophets not anyone else.

These False Teachers are Corrupt. Jesus contrasts them with a Good Tree, which is a God called Preacher / Pastor / Teacher. These Good Ministers of God will Bring forth Good Fruit, Good Works. But the False Teachers can not produce anything but Bad Fruit, Bad Works, because they are not Saved.

Verses 15-20 does not teach that people have to Do Good Works to go to Heaven. That a Person can do enough Good Works to Earn their way to Heaven. These verses are not talking about personal Salvation, about how a person is Saved. Salvation is not even mentioned. Today’s False Teachers put Salvation in these verses when Salvation is never the topic. False Teachers is the topic.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Again False Teachers Twist this verse to Teach Works Salvation. They say see: “…but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” So you have to Work your way to Heaven. You must have enough Good Works to Go to Heaven.

This passage does not say anything about doing Good Works. It says doeth the will of my Father. Here is the Will of God the Father:

John 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

1st Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Simply put God’s Will is that Everyone would be Saved, to have Eternal Life.

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Verse 22 completely refutes False Teachers that Teach you have to Work your way to Heaven. (Repent of Sin, be Baptized, etc.) Here they are Telling Jesus they should go to Heaven because of all of their Wonderful Works. Because of Everything Good they Did for him. You can do Nothing to Work you Way to Heaven. Salvation is 100% the Work of Jesus Alone.

Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Jesus reply: I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME…

Jesus clearly was not impressed with their Self-Righteous Good Works. In fact Jesus called their Good Works Iniquity. It is Vile to Say to Jesus, Your Blood Atonement is not Good Enough to get me into Heaven. I will (I have to do) do Good Works to add to your Sacrifice. Jesus Your Blood Atonement is Not Good Enough…

That is the Biggest Insult you could say / do to Jesus. This is Rejecting Jesus as your Savior.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Verses 24-29 Are Jesus explaining that People who Trust in Him Only for Salvation are Wise. Everyone who Rejects Jesus is Foolish.

We are Saved by Believing the Gospel Only for our Salvation. The Gospel:

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Did Jesus Hang Out In Bars?

Did Jesus Hang Out IN Bars? 

The Pharisees and the Sadducees Continuously Falsely Accused Jesus. The Pharisees Pointed their Fingers at Jesus and Falsely Claimed that he spent his time Socializing with Sinners: Prostitutes, Drunks, etc…

Jesus did Not Socialize with the Public at Large he was an Evangelist, a Prophet, a Teacher, a Preacher. What Jesus did was Travel continuously. While he Traveled Large Crowds constantly followed him. Jesus Taught them, Preached to them and he Healed, the Sick.

Jesus did not Hang Out in Bars with Prostitutes and Drunks.

Jesus was always working, He was busy Ministering to People: Healing, Teaching, Feeding, and Preaching to them. You will Not find a Single Scripture where Jesus is Hanging Out in a Bar, just Hanging Out with People. 

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Recently a very Popular Pastor on Facebook. Wrote a post that Slandered Christians. Who were only Friends with other Christians. He said they were Stuck up Snobs.

He continued on LYING:

**** Note Below. His Lie is a Very Popular Lie. Just because a Lie is Often Repeated Doesn’t Make It True. No Matter How many times the Lie is Told. ****

“Look at Jesus he Hung Out with Everyone. He Hung Out with Drunks and Prostitutes, in Bars. Jesus did not exclude people.”

I told him that he was not being Honest.

Jesus did not Hangout in Bars. Jesus Ministered to Everyone. Ministering is Not remotely the same thing as Hanging Out with people.

Jesus was daily in the Temple teaching.

When he was not in the Temple. He was traveling or preaching to people off of boats and all along his travels.

Jesus did spend some time at his Disciples homes like Lazarus. Jesus Disciples were not current Prostitutes and Drunks. He did not encourage Sin. By Hanging Out with people who were Drinking / Getting Drunk. With Prostitutes looking for their next John.

Jesus was Falsely Accused of Hanging Out in Bars:

The Bible verse used. To say that Jesus Hung Out in Bars. With Drunks and Prostitutes is Matthew 11:19.

Matthew 11:19 “The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.”

This is Jesus’ speaking. Jesus said: “They Say.”

Which means they were LYING.

This verse is full of Lies about Jesus.

Jesus was being Falsely accused.

It is Evil, of Pastors and others to TWIST THE SCRIPTURES to use this verse to Say that Jesus Hung Out in Bars, With the very worst people. To Lie and say Christians should be friends with people who spend time in Bars Regularly, with the Worst Sort of People. To Say that Christians should Hang Out in Bars like “Jesus did”.

Jesus was always followed by Large crowds of people. He did not need to go into Bars to Preach to People. Jesus did not do this.

This False Pastor’s Unbiblical point was Christians need to Hang Out and be Friends with Every Type of person.

I shared these verses with him.

Ephesians 5:11 “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

The Bible tells us: Not Only, to NOT Fellowship, Spend Time With the Lost. It tells us NOT TO Fellowship with Christians Who are Openly Living Sinful Lives. Christians, for example, who are Drunks / Drug users.

2nd Thessalonians 3:6 “Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.”

1st Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Counterfeit Christianity:

2nd Timothy 3:5 “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

Romans 16:17 “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.”

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalms 26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

The Bibe Says: Do not Hang Out with the Lost:

Proverbs 4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

1st Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

Ephesians 4:22 “That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;”

2nd Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

The Bible is very Clear that Christians are not to be Friends with the World. It is a Lie to say that Jesus Hung Out in Bars with Drunks and Prostitutes.

False Pastors, False Teachers are constantly Twisting the Scriptures. They Water Down Christianity, to Deceive People with their Counterfeit Christianity.

What is called Christianity is not Christianity, it is Satanic. Satan has his own Counterfeit Christianity that 99% of people who call themselves Christians are a part of.

They are Secular; Just like the World. Some are Legalistic, Law Followers. 

When I see “Christians.” “Pastors.” Others posting unbiblical “Christian” messages. I always call them out for their Unbiblical posts.

Sometimes they want to argue: “You just do not understand my point.” “You take the bible too literally.” “Just because I have no Scriptures to back up what I am saying. It does not mean I am wrong.” “The Bible may not come out and say what I said. But there are plenty of bible verses that support in essence what I am saying.”

The Bible is not Gray like False Teachers want people to Believe. God is very Clear on what Christianity is. The Bible is Black and White not Gray.

Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

God Hates Sin, Counterfeit Christianity.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Please do not be conned by False Teachers who twist the Scriptures.

How to be Saved: 

Believe the Gospel Only to Be Saved:

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Please if you have not Asked Jesus to Save You, Please Ask him Right Now, to Save You. To Be Saved You Must Trust in Jesus Alone to Save You.

Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. 19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. 21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

A Person is Saved by Believing the Word of God the Gospel. Not by the False Teachings of False Religions Not by Believing False Churches False Pastors, False Teachers.

Jesus Was Crucified Because He Claimed To Be God.

Jesus Is God. Jesus was Crucified The King Of The Jews. Jesus King of Kings. Jesus Lord of Lords. Jesus The Great I AM.

John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews.

20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

John 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

Jesus is God. The King of the Jews. Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

1 Timothy 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Revelation 19:16 “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”

Did Jesus Say He Was God?

ANSWER: Yes

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

The Book of John. Declares Jesus Deity. More than any other book in the Bible. Cults Hate the Book of John. Because it is the one book in the Bible. Where Jesus declares himself God numerous times. He tells the world to be Saved Believe on me.

Beware “Christian” Cults are not always easy to spot.

They use titles such as “Fundamental Independent AV 1611 KJV Bible Baptist Church.” You can never judge a book by its cover. You cannot assume anything from a Church name. Dive deep to discover what they really Believe. If they say the Book of John is part of the Law. That it was not written for the Church. Than you know that Church is a Cult.

Cults make definite statements that are Lies. One of their Lies is. Jesus never said he was God. “Jesus is just the son of God… not God himself.” Billions of people are too lazy to read the Bible for themselves. They believe the Lies of Cults. The Title Son of God = Jesus is God. One God in 3 Persons. God The Father. God the Son. And God The Holy Spirit / Holy Ghost.

The gospel of John, presents Jesus Christ in His deity. Jesus calls himself “I AM.” Over and over again in the book of John.

I AM is the name of God.

Exodus 3:14 “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.”

Jesus claimed that He is the ‘I Am’, which is the very name of God!

John 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

John 13:18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

John 18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

When the Jewish religious leaders heard Jesus say this. They tried to kill Him. By applying the very name of God to Himself. Jesus Christ declared that He is God. To the Jews this was the highest form of Blasphemy.

Jesus claimed equality with the God the Father. “Jesus said to them:

John 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

The Jewish religious leaders rejected Jesus claim that He was God. Jesus was Crucified for Claiming to be God.

Mark 14:60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

The High Priest had Jesus crucified because Jesus claimed to be God

“The Christ the Son of God.” The Christ: The word “Christ.” Comes from christos. A Greek word meaning “Anointed.”  It is the equivalent of the word Mashiach, or Messiah, in Hebrew. So, to be the Christ, or Messiah, is to be “The Anointed one of God.”

The Messiah. The Christ. Is who Jesus proclaimed himself to be. He performed all of his Miracles. Healing the Sick. Raising the Dead. To prove he was God.

John the Baptist wanted confirmation that Jesus was the promised Messiah.

This is how Jesus answered him:

Luke 7:19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Jesus proclaimed himself to be God by all the Miracles he did, that was his answer to John the Baptist.

John 7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

John 8:17 “It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.”

18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

John 8:58 “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”

John 10:30 “I and my Father are one.”

John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father [is] in me, and I in him.
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

The Bible declares Jesus is God:

Matthew 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

1st Timothy 3:16 “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

1st John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

2nd Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus Loves You. Jesus Is Our Friend.

Jesus is our Friend

Many Christians are always Depressed. They do not understand that Jesus is our Friend. Jesus is our Best Friend. We just need to reach out to him in prayer. Jesus Loves You, is not just a fun to sing Christian Children’s song it is the Truth.

Proverbs 18:24 “…there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”

You are never alone. Jesus is always with you. Everyone may leave you during the toughest times, but Jesus will be there Carrying you.

You may be really suffering right now. JESUS LOVES YOU. He will help you. He will Comfort you.  You just need to Accept his Comforting.

You may be homeless, living on the streets. Addicted to Drugs, Alcohol or something else.

Where ever you are at right now in life, no matter if you are sitting in an alley getting your fix on or in another bad situation Jesus Loves You and wants to Save you from yourself. (Jesus will Save you right now, if you ask him to.) Jesus is the Only one who can Clean You Up.

Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

Mark 9:23 “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”

Jesus will pull you up out of any gutter you many find yourself in. A gutter can be a rut you are in. Your Christian Life stalled out because you, have lost your faith…

If you are going through something Bad in your Life. Jesus can help you. He will Comfort you. He will take away your pain.

Maybe you are dealing with bad news…
You could be suffering because your child just died…

Life is very tough. Blaming Jesus is some people’s 1st reaction to terrible things that happen. A child dying is impossible to deal with without Jesus.

One thing you can know every child that dies is with Jesus. People have lost all the will to live because of the loss of their child… For other reasons.

The answer is not to give up. Pray, Cry Out to Jesus.

“Jesus I am hurting so much right now I have lost my will to live. Please help me right now Jesus. I do not know what to do….”

There are times we have to Lean on the Love of Jesus.

Jesus Loves You SO MUCH… HE DIED FOR YOU. He paid the Penalty for All of your Sins.

Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Jesus Loves You so much he Died to Save you. Just pray and ask Jesus to Save you if you have not. Believe on Jesus Death, Burial and Resurrection as the only payment for your Sins. You can do nothing to Save yourself.

If you are Saved than you know you can trust Jesus to help you, to Comfort you.

John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Many men, women, even children have sacrificed their lives to Save another person’s Life. This is the Greatest Love any Person can show, Dying to Save someone.

We all face our own mortality. Maybe you have just heard, you or someone you love has a sickness that could lead to death. Turn this over to Jesus. Jesus Loves You.

All Sorrow, all Grief turn over to Jesus.

Isaiah 53:3 “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”

Grief is Deep Sorrow, a painful feeling often caused by suffering a great loss.

Jesus is always there for you when you need him. When you are feeling pain, are full of Grief, Jesus is right there with you.

Isaiah 53:4 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.”

Jesus hath borne our Griefs, and carried our Sorrows.
Wow!!!

Jesus understands all of our Pain. When the Bible says Jesus hath borne our Griefs and carried our Sorrows that means Jesus will take away your Pain and all of your Sorrows if you let him.

Jesus takes our Griefs and carries our Sorrows because he Loves us. Jesus Loves You.

Myself, I deal with grief by closing myself off to the entire world. I pray… I cry… I read the Bible…

I listen to music. A great song of hope is:

What a Friend we have in Jesus
By Joseph M. Scriven, 1855

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
Amen.

God Bless You.

Jesus Loves You.

12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.

13 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever: 14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:

15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 

If you are a Christian You should be Thankful For Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Holidays cause depression. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Easter. Birthdays. New Year’s.

Traditional events shared with Family and Friends bring tears and crying.

People we Loved have Died.  We miss them. We think back on the Happy Times we Shared with them and cry because they are no longer with us.

You might be completely ALONE, with no one to share your Life with.

These days have not always been full of Joy and Happiness which gives us bad memories.

How do we prevent depression? How do we Enjoy Days that Everyone Else is Celebrating?

Live everyday being Thankful for Jesus. Knowing how much Jesus suffered for us will put everything into perspective.

With Jesus In You, You can Be Happy. You Should Be Happy.

Jesus suffered more in his 33 year life than any other person. Jesus watched as his Disciples ran away from him. Judas B with a Kiss. He saw Peter Deny him. On the Cross God the Father left him alone to suffer bleed and die.  Yet Jesus endured all of this and more. He rose from the Grave to Save mankind from the penalty of their Sins. 

Jesus Is Always There For You. He Will Never Leave You.

Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

True Joy is spending time with Jesus. Rejoice, Praise Jesus for your Salvation.

The Greatest Joy in Life is Being Saved. Knowing You Will Be Going to Heaven to be with Jesus.

Habakkuk 3:18 “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”

Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.”

Psalms 46:1…God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

I am Thankful everyday for Jesus.

Jesus Suffered, Bled and Died for me…. He took my place, Dying for All of my Sins. He Paid The Price for All of my Sins.

Jesus has a purpose for me so I am Thankful for my Salvation and that Jesus wants to use me.

If you do Cry, and are Sad, know that Jesus Cried in the Bible. He Cried for Lazaras, for Jerusalem. 

Luke 19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

Jesus cried when Lazarus died. 

John 11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

35 Jesus wept.

36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.  

Jesus Loves Everyone of Us. He Cries for us. Jesus Wept for Lazarus. Jesus Loved Lazarus. 

Yes, it is OK to be Sad, to Cry. But do not be consumed by your Grief, your Sorrow.

In the Bible Jesus was full of sorrow. He cried. But he did not let his sorrow, his tears, control him. He quickly moved on from crying and sorrow and went back to his work.

Jesus Life was full of suffering. Jesus suffered for us.

Isaiah 53:3 “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”

Being Emotional is Normal. Put everything into perspective. Do not let sorrow control you.

Jesus suffering gave us Salvation. Understand that Jesus Rose from the Dead which completed his Atonement for all of our Sins.

Jesus Resurrection is Joyous.

Everything that causes us to suffer in this Life has a purpose. All of our suffering will be Turned into Joy. We will spend Eternity in Heaven with Jesus.

The Bible Tells us to Rejoice. So Please always Rejoice and be Thankful. Enjoy Everyday.

Luke 10:20 “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”

Psalms 97:12 “Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.”

1 Peter 1:8 “Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:”

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Our Lives are suppose to full of Joy because of Jesus. Jesus Thank You, I Owe You Everything.

Please Believe and Share the Gospel.

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

The Gospel Of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Power of God.

Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Christians do not be Afraid to share the Gospel. Proudly Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Satan Twists God’s Word. Denies the True Gospel. Invents his own False Gospel.

2nd Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Most people trust the most important decision in their life to other people. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Power of God unto Salvation.

The Bible clearly explains Salvation:

Romans 1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

The Gospel:

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

This is the Gospel that Jesus Preached. The Gospel Peter, Paul, James, John every Apostle and Disciple of Jesus preached.

The Bible warns against Believing Another Gospel.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Most Churches teach that Jesus never Taught / Preached the Gospel. That we cannot follow Jesus’s Teachings. They reject the Gospel’s, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Putting them in the Old Testament.

According to them. We can only take Salvation passages from some of Apostle Paul’s books. They even deny parts of Paul’s books. Because of their Dispensationalist False Doctrine. They reject Romans chapter 10 and the entire book of Hebrews. Saying they apply only to the Jews.

Jesus did teach the Gospel:

Luke 9:18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

Verse 22 is the Gospel plain and Clear.

22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

More verses:

Luke 18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

Luke 24:7 “Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”

Mark 9:31 “For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.”

Mark 10:33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

The Bible is Clear: Jesus Taught the Gospel.

Mark 1:1 makes this Perfectly Clear:

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; 2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Jesus taught to be Saved All a person has to do is to Believe in him.

Jewish people knew the Scriptures foretold of the coming Messiah. Who would Save them from their Sins.

When Jesus said to Believe on me to have Eternal Life. They understood he was the promised Messiah. That would Save them from the Penalty of all of their Sins.

John 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

The Scriptures that foretold the Gospel, Jesus the coming Messiah:

Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from river even to the ends of the earth.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

Micah 5:2 “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”

Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Immanuel: “God with us.”

Immanuel, God with us, is a prophecy that announces the presence of God with his people, and which is ultimately fulfilled in the arrival of the incarnate Son of God in the womb of the virgin Mary (Matthew 1:22,23)

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Isaiah 62:11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Old Testament Believers Believed The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Animal sacrifices Saved No One:

Hebrews 10:4 “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”

The Old Testament sacrifices. Pointed towards the One Sacrifice that Jesus would make on the Cross to bring Eternal Salvation.

Like New Testament Believers. Old Testament Believers were Justified by Grace through Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the coming Messiah.

Abraham

Genesis 15:6 “And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”

Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

You must understand that there is Only One True Gospel. In Galatians 3 God preached the Gospel to Abraham.

Dispensationalism’s Biggest Lie is there are Many Different Gospel’s. 

These False Teachers Teach Multiple plans of Salvation, Multiple Gospel’s. The Bible says there is Only One True Gospel. There is Only One plan of Salvation for All of Humanity. Abraham put his Faith in Jesus Christ Only to Save him.

Salvation is Simple. Read the Scriptures for yourself and Believe on Jesus only to Save you.

Christmas is Biblical. Christmas is the Celebration of Jesus being Born to Save the World from their Sins.

The Bible does not command or tell us to Celebrate Christmas Jesus being Born. I know Christians who Celebrate Christmas. I know Christians who do not Celebrate Christmas. This message is not about telling people to Celebrate Christmas or not to celebrate Christmas. It is about what the Bible says about Jesus Birth.

I Praise Jesus Daily For Being Born. His Sinless Life. For Laying Down His Life To Save Me.

The Christian Biblical Celebration of Christmas is about Jesus (The mystery of God in the flesh. Jesus leaving Heaven to be born a helpless Child.) being born to Save us from our Sins.  Jesus birth is connected to his Death, Burial and Resurrection. That paid (Paid In Full) the entire Sin Debt of the Human Race. Because Jesus had to be Born a human child. He had to live a sinless life to be a worthy sacrifice.  Jesus Innocent Blood Atonement was the only way to Save Mankind from the Penalty of Sin.

Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

Luke 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

We would be Lost completely without any Hope if Jesus had not been Born.

Jesus’s Birth fulfilled God’s Promised, Bible Prophecy to Send Jesus the Saviour to Earth.

Jesus my Savior Left his throne in Heaven to be Born a Man. (A huge sacrifice. A mystery the Bible says we cannot comprehend.) So He could Save me!!!

Christmas is a time to openly Praise and Celebrate Jesus Birth before the Whole World. For six weeks or so. This is a GOOD THING TO DO. Christmas is not Santa Claus, Elves, Wreaths, Stockings, Decorated Pine Trees and all the rest. You can Celebrate Christmas without all the Secular trappings.

I am not Ashamed to Proclaim Jesus to the Whole World to Share the Gospel.

Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Salvation is clearly explained in the Bible:

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

The problem is that most people trust the most important decision in their life to other people.

We are Saved by believing the Gospel only.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Power of God.

The Gospel:

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

This is the Gospel that Jesus Preached. The Gospel Peter, Paul, James, John every Apostle and Disciple of Jesus preached.

The Bible warns of believing Another Gospel that was not preached by Jesus and his Disciples.

Many Churches teach that Jesus never taught / preached the Gospel. That we cannot follow Jesus’s Teachings. Instead of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John’s Gospel’s which we are to reject. We can only take Salvation passages and Bible Doctrine from some of the books that the Apostle Paul wrote.

Jesus did teach the Gospel:

Luke 9:18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

Verse 22 is the Gospel plain and Clear.

22 “Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.”

More verses:

Luke 18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

Luke 24:7 “Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”

Mark 9:31 “For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.”

Mark 10:33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Jesus did teach the Gospel. Jesus taught to be Saved all a person had to do was to Believe in him.

The people of his day knew the Scriptures foretold of the coming Messiah that would Save them.

When Jesus told them to Believe on him to be Saved they understood he was the promised Messiah that would Save them from the penalty of all of their Sins.

John 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

The Scriptures that foretold the coming Messiah:

Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from river even to the ends of the earth.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

Micah 5:2 “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”

Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Immanuel, meaning “God with us,” is a prophecy that announces the presence of God with his people, and which is ultimately fulfilled in the arrival of the incarnate Son of God in the womb of the virgin Mary. (Matthew 1:22,23)

Matthew 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Isaiah 62:11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ was understood and Believed by Old Testament Believers. 

Old Testament Believers were not saved by animal sacrifices:

Hebrews 10:4 “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”

The Old Testament sacrifices pointed towards the one sacrifice that Jesus would make on the cross to bring Eternal Salvation.

Like New Testament believers, Old Testament believers were (SAVED) Justified by Grace through Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the coming Messiah.

Abraham:

Genesis 15:6 “And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”

Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

You must understand that there is only one true Gospel.

The Bible here in Galatians 3 said that God preached the Gospel to Abraham.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Dispensationalism’s biggest Lie is there are many different Gospel’s. Yes they believe there are many different ways for people to be Saved. They teach multiple plans of Salvation / multiple Gospel’s. When the Bible clearly says there is only one Gospel / only one plan of Salvation for all of humanity.

Abraham was not Saved by Works. No one in the Bible is Saved by Works.

Abraham (Plus you, I, everyone in History that has been and will be Saved) was Saved by Grace Faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.

Salvation is Simple. Read the Scriptures for yourself and Believe on Jesus only to Save you.

Judas Betrayed Jesus With A Kiss. Betrayal is Costly.

Judas Betrayed Jesus. Everyone feels the Cost of Betrayal. Betrayal is Evil, it is Costly:

All of Our Lives are Typically Full of Betrayal. Often our “Friends” and our Family Betrays us. So, the Personal Cost of Betrayal is High. Sometimes the person who Betrayed you faces a high Cost because of their Betrayal. Judas for instance committed Suicide by Hanging himself. Betrayal always Hurts Deeply. 

Satan is the Cause of All Betrayal. Satan Went into Judas’s Body to Personally Betray Jesus. Judas was a Willing Vessel of Satan’s. Satan Betrayed God in the Beginning:

Luke 22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. 

This was a Massive Conspiracy Against Jesus. For Judas to Betray Jesus. This Betrayal was So Very Costly. It Cost Jesus Everything!!!! At the End of this Evil Betrayal Jesus and Judas were Both Dead!!!!

30 Pieces of Silver: The Price for Judas’s Betrayal of Jesus:

Matthew 26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

Judas’s Complete Betrayal of Jesus in Luke Chapter 22:

Luke 22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. 3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. 7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! 23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. 28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. 29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. 39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off. 55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. 56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. 57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. 58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. 60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. 61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. 64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. 66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, 67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. 69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

Betrayal Cuts deep. Betrayal can only come from someone You Trust. Someone you are close to:

Yes, Jesus knew Judas would Betray him.

But that does not take away the Sting of Judas’s Betrayal.

Judas was a man who Jesus asked to be one of his 12 Disciples. His Betrayal was a Huge deal. Jesus depended on him. He taught him. Traveled endlessly on foot and by boat with him for 3 ½ years. These journeys were rough. Filled with thunderstorms, extreme heat and cold. They had to deal with crowds of thousands of needy people. This Life. This Ministry was hard work. Jesus had to depend on all of his Disciples.

Living and working very close to a person that long. So close that they slept on the same few feet of ground together. Multiplies the Pain of the Betrayal. Do not forget. Jesus was a flesh and blood man. He got hungry, tired, angry, cold, hot… He had deep human emotions. Jesus cried when he heard Lazarus had died.

Judas’s Betrayal Deeply Hurt Jesus.

Betrayal, The Costs:

People that are Betrayed Get Shunned by Most People. People will Automatically think the Worst of them: “There must be a Reason he or She was Betrayed. They are Not Innocent…” They Constantly Question them: “What is wrong with him or her”. (Or, you might be thinking. You can relate to all the Betrayal.)

Betrayal is the Act of a Horrible Person. It has nothing to do with, there being something wrong, with You. It is a reflection on the Person who Betrayed you. Betrayal happens because people are Evil.

Betrayal makes you Question Yourself. Why me? Am I not Worth Caring about? You Lose Faith in people. You Expect Everyone you know to Stab you in the back. There is No peace anywhere. At home, at work at Church. Because you feel like it is Impossible to Trust in anyone anymore.

Please Do Not be a Judas. Do not Betray Anyone.

Betrayal happens when someone you Trust. Takes advantage of that Trust. And does something to break that, Trust. Stealing from you. Belittling you to other people. Doing things to Deliberately Hurt you. Lying about who they really are. Telling Secrets, You Trusted them with. A cheating spouse…

Judas’s Betrayal of Jesus was Foretold in the Old Testament:

Zechariah 11:10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.

11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the Lord.

12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.

13 And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.

300 Prophecies were fulfilled concerning Jesus Life on the Earth as a human being:

The Bible is 100% True we know this because of all the fulfilled Bible Prophecies. The Bible has not failed in correctly predicting the future.

Judas Rejected and Betrayed Jesus for money.

Matthew 26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

“What will you give me…”

Judas Greed: “What will you give me…”

1st Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

The world is full of Judas’s who Reject Jesus for Money. For the Sinful things of this world.

Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

We are Saved by the Word of God. People refuse to Hear the Word of God. Because the Word of God goes against their life style.

1st Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 

11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 

12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Life is short, very short Do Not Waste Your Life:

Most Christians Waste their Lives working hard to get a High Paying job.

So, they can have a Large home. Some have more than one home. They buy many expensive things. 2 cars, boats, motorcycles, snowmobiles, everything they can dream of. Expensive vacations etc…

Their Real God is being Wealthy, having a Large Bank account This is Idolatry Money is Their Idol Their God.

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Proverbs 15:27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

Proverbs 23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

1st John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Betrayal is Always Personal. Almost Everyone has or will be Personally Betrayed:

You are Probably Thinking Right Now of how You have Been Betrayed in Your Life. I was Betrayed by My Wife:

For months a man I thought was my Friend made a Fool out of me. We went to the same Church. He came to me and said I know you could use a Friend right now. Let’s meet when we can and talk about what you are dealing with. He was a Spy. He tried to find Dirt on me for my wife. We were going through a Divorce. There was no Dirt to find. He tried to get me to do a quick online Divorce which Would Not Protect my Parental Rights.

When he could do nothing to help my wife. It Quickly became Obvious he was working for her. After she came at me with the same conversations. I went to him, and he Admitted what he was Doing. He Betrayed me by Lying to me. By helping my wife Spread Lies about me around the Church and Our Community. This is a Typical Example of Betrayal that countless people Suffer Through.

The Answer for Betrayal is Not to Let them Win.

They Win if You Do Anything Stupid. Stupid Like Losing Your Temper and Doing Something Bad Out of Anger. Violence, Revenge is Never the Answer for Betrayal. 

Jesus is our Example to Follow. Jesus did Not Get Angry. He Did Not Lose His Temper at Judas for his Betrayal of him. 

Be Like Jesus. Stay Calm in the Midst of Betrayal, All of the Forces of EVIL that Attack You. 

Everyone suffers through Betrayal in their lives. “Christians” Betray other Christians:

Just because someone tells you they are a Christian Does Not mean they are a Christian:

One Woman told me she was born into a Christian Family. And grew up in the Church. So that made her a Christian.

I told her that did not make her a Christian.

I said: “Just going to Church does not make you a Christian.” “Is their a time in your life when you Believed on Jesus as your Savior? When you Asked Jesus to Save you?”

She lost her temper: “How Dare you Question my Salvation!!!” “I do not have to Defend myself.” “My Christian Life will get me into Heaven.”

I persisted: “You Asked Jesus to Save You? You Believe the Gospel, are trusting in Jesus only to Save you?”

She shouted: “I did not have to do anything!!!”

She Never Believed the Gospel to Save Her. She Did Not Believe in Jesus Only to Save Her. She Never Asked Jesus to Save her. Her faith is in her “Christian” Family, her Lifestyle, Not in Jesus.

Do not waste your life. Do not die without Asking Jesus to Save you.

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Jesus’ Innocent Blood Was Shed For You. Pilate’s Guilt.

Barabbas – Hell or Jesus – Heaven?  Which do you Choose?  This is the Ultimate Question. God is Asking Everyone to decide.

Matthew 27:17
“Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?”

Accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour or reject him.

Matthew 27:
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

You must ASK YOURSELF:

Heaven or Hell / The Lake of Fire???

Barabbas? Jesus?

Who will you choose? Jesus and Eternal Life in Heaven? Barabbas and Eternal Damnation in the Lake of Fire?

You have to choose. If you do not choose Jesus you are rejecting his free gift of Salvation. For example: A Sick person can choose the cure for their sickness or reject the Cure and die. Choices have to be made in this life. Doing nothing is a Choice that will Damn you to Eternal Flames:

John 3: 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

The Bible is clear if you refuse to Believe on Jesus (Do nothing.) you have rejected him:

Verse 18 is crystal clear: “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

So will you be like the fickled Crowd who followed Jesus? Who never Believed on Jesus?

These people wanted to be part of a group of people. (Like today people want to be accepted in society, part of the cool crowd, part of the latest popular trend.) This Crowd was almost all people who had not made a decision, a choice for Jesus. They followed him to see what would happen next. They wanted to see his miracles and his confrontations with the Pharisees and Sadducee’s. They were there for the excitement, for stories to tell people.

They were healed by Jesus, fed by him, taught by him. They immediately turned on Jesus when they saw him bound and bloody by the Roman soldiers.

They shouted: Crucify him! Crucify him! Crucify him! We want Barabbas!!! Crucify Jesus!!!

Pilate did not want to make a Choice. He left it to the mob.

Pilate had the authority to free Jesus. By not freeing Jesus he REJECTED JESUS! Pilate not the mob condemned Jesus to death to be Crucified.


“I am innocent of the Blood of this just person: see ye to it said Pilate.”

Pilate was delusional thinking he could be free of the shed Blood of Jesus by leaving the decision up to the mob who had no authority to have Jesus Crucified. Pilate’s hands are bloody. He tried to clean the Blood off his hands by washing them in water.

Right now in Hell Pilate is still rubbing his hands together trying to rid them of Jesus INNOCENT BLOOD.

Jesus was Falsely accused and found INNOCENT. Pilate did not want Jesus INNOCENT BLOOD on his hands.

Pilate can never wash Jesus Blood off his hands.

Pilate had the authority to release Jesus but he Feared the Mob. Instead of doing the right thing and releasing Jesus he had Jesus Crucified on his own authority.

Pilate is guilty, he has Jesus Innocent Blood forever on his hands.


No one is Neutral. Doing nothing. Making no decision for Jesus is rejecting Jesus.


John 3:
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

If you have not Believed on Jesus, accepted him as your Saviour, asked Jesus to Save you than you are Lost.

Barabbas is a picture of every person ever born. Barabbas was Guilty. Innocent Jesus took his place. He died for Barabbas Crimes his Sins.

Mark 15:7
“And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.”

Barabbas was GULITY of trying to overthrow the Roman Government. Barabbas was GUILTY of MURDER. Jesus was INNOCENT.

Jesus died in Barabbas place.
Jesus died in your place, he died in my place.
Jesus died for all the Sins of the World.
Do not Die without Jesus.
Ask Jesus to Save you right now.

Romans 10:
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
