Looking for Jesus according to John

[JLG]

38) Looking for Jesus

John 5: “If I alone bear witness about myself, my witness is not true. There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the witness he bears about me is true. You have sent men to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. However, I do not accept the witness from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. That man was a burning and shining lamp, and for a short time you were willing to rejoice greatly in his light.

- John the Baptist bore witness about Jesus!

- Jesus calls him a burning and shining lamp!

 

[JLG]

39) Looking for Jesus

John 5: But I have the witness greater than that of John, for the very works that my Father assigned me to accomplish, these works that I am doing, bear witness that the Father sent me.

- But most important, Jesus’ miracles bore witness about Jesus!

- And he made so many again and again!

 

[JLG]

40) Looking for Jesus

John 5: And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form, and you do not have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the very one whom he sent.

- Jesus knows God’s voice personally!

- Jesus knows God’s form personally!

- Jesus knows God’s word personally!

 

[JLG]

- May I ask a question to everybody ?

- I will let people time!

- Then I will answer too!

- There is no trap!

- WHAT IS ALL THE BIBLE ABOUT EXCEPT THE FACT THAT IT IS GOD’S WORD ?

- There may be different answers depending on the elements we have!

1. About John 1:1

• As I always hear the same song about John 1:1 and I am tired of hearing it again and again, I am going to have a look at the use of the definite article or not in the book of John!
• When I look at the translations of John 1:1 in Biblehub, they all say and the Word was God!
• Now before starting, I am going to repeat that in Ancient Greek, you only get the definite article!

How do you obey it?

= "all that BELIEVE IN ME"

1) Jesus vs the religious leaders

John 2: Jesus goes to Jerusalem for the Passover. In the temple merchants are selling animals to make sacrifices and there are also money brokers. With a whip Jesus drives them out of the temple.

- Corruption everywhere!

- Everything was normal!

- Turning God’s word upside down!

- And Jesus has to do that! And the religious leaders haven’t done anything!

- What about today?

- What do you think he will do when he comes back because he will find the same situation?

"He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few."​

​

"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."​

​

"It is finished."​

All PAST tense. In other words, what "He will do", He is doing, and has been doing, and continues to do." Which is..."My strength is made perfect in weakness," and "the man of sin is revealed" during these times of the gentiles...but, as Paul specified, saying, "but each one in his own order."

What does that look like?

It looks like following the more primitive times of Israel, during the times of the gentiles, God would pour out His spirit "upon all flesh" (both good and evil), "knowledge shall increase," and "each one"--each "man of sin" will be "revealed" as both "the tares" and "the wheat" are gathered, "but each one in his own order", meaning in his own time. "Then comes the end."

These are the things that have been foretold and written. To the contrary, what has been taught regarding all these things being done only in the "future" as a grand finally, was and is the "lie" that has caused "strong delusion" and great apostacy. For which the final warning, is:

Revelation 18:4​

"And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues." ("her", being the apostate church).​
