John 8:12-20
Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Who ever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Jesus said,'Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, 1)for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you have no idea where I come from or where I am going. 2) I am not alone, I stand with the Father, who sent me."
If you know me, you would know my Father also. Jesus is with the Father.
Pharisees challenged Jesus your testify is not valid.
Why?
Pharisees thought Jesus was alone to talked with them. They don't believe what he said.
Jesus is the light of the world, brought the hope and love to peoples. If we accept Jesus as our savior, we would walk with Jesus in the light. It is our own decision have to do.
Jesus has many words and many testimonies to prove who he is, but there still are many people do not believe him.
The Lord gave pillar of fire by which God guided his people through the desert by night.
How?
Confess our sins, everything be seen by the Lord, no one can hide before the Lord, He is the light and He is love. Walk with Jesus as we are walk in the light, won't fell on the way of life. Praise Him.
If leave away from Jesus, who will be in darkness, and does not affect the glory of Jesus.

Leave your life of sin
John 8:1-11
The story of a adultery woman be caught and brought to Jesus, asked Jesus what they should do?
Jesus is love, but in the law Moses commanded to stone such woman, Pharisees brought this problem in front of crowd to question Jesus, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
Love is higher than sin, the only condition is "Leave you life of sin."
Why?
How ugly those Pharisees actions.
Love covers the sins, the consequence of sins is dead, but love can recover it.
Older man did many sinful matters than the younger one, so their conscious urge them leave and won't stone the woman.
Jesus teach us don't judge others, we are sinners. No one is righteous on the world.
How?
Confess our own sin, only the love of Jesus can erase our sins. And don't stay in the life of sin. Go, go to Jesus to receive the strength of love.
Before speak I have to think abut what I want to say.

Bless and curse
John 7:45-52
The temple guards wend back, did not arrest Jesus. They amazed the words of Jesus.
Pharisees and rulers do not believe Jesus, and they said the people are mob that nothing of the law- there is a curse on them. They were deceived.
Nicodemus, who spoke a justice words "Does our law condemn anyone without first hearing him to find out what he is doing?"
Why?
The Pharisees and rulers are not want to arrest Jesus, and they look down other people.
Pharisees should ask Jesus more detail where he was born. This is the the way that Jesus have to be. For he obeyed the command of the Lord.
To be a higher position usually contend to despise others. It is seems do the right thing, actually they are protect their ow benefit.
How?
Who is the blessing man?
No matter what I am or what I will be, do not despise other, before I speak I should make it clear and make my command.

Living water
John 7:37-44
Jesus said in loud voice on the last day of the feat," Whoever believes in me, streams of living water will flow from within him."
He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.
People hearing his word, some of them said, " He is the Prophet." others said " He is Christ", others questioned Christ will come from David's family and from Bethlehem, How can Christ come from Galilee?"
Why?
All of Jews' argument are right, but some of them were not understand Jesus, Jesus was came from Bethlehem. He is Christ.
Living water is the joyful life under any situation is living with joy. Because there is hope and strength within him, Spirit is in his heart.
People do not believe Jesus because they don't know, they can't understand. They need more instructions and enthusiasm to find the truth.
How
Let me be the good witness, let more my friend and my close colleagues may know Jesus is the Christ.

Jesus comes from Heaven
John 7:3-36
John gave a commend that his time had not yet come. Even some of Pharisees and the chief of priests want to arrest him. So no one laid a hand on him.
Jesus said,"I am with you only a short time, and then I go to the one who sent me. You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come."
The Jews said to one another, they didn't understand what Jesus means.
Why?
Jesus will be crucified a few days later, so Jesus said I am with you only a short time.
Jesus came from heaven and he will go back to the place where he came from. So people will look for him but will not find him.
How?
I know were I will be when the end day of my life is come. I do not afraid, we have hope for the Jesus has redeemed me, saved my life. Anyone who understand this he will rejoice, but one can't understand this important message, he won't has eternal joyful life.

Personal contact experience
John 7:25-29
Personal contact experience
People know where Jesus is come from, so they don’t believe
Jesus is come from Heaven, they don’t think Jesus is Messiah, because when
Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.
John mentioned what Jesus said in Jerusalem, Yes, you know
me and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who
send me is true. You do not know him.
John here described the reason why people don’t believe
Jesus is Messiah
Why?
People do not know Jesus came from Heaven and to be a human
being.
Jesus will be on the world is the Lord sent him. This is
true, but it was unacceptable to those people in Israel.
How?
Believe usually need to understand it, some time it need to
check, I believe in Jesus and I found all he said are true, and more important
when I prayed with honest mind, then I experience the holy spirit and gave me
many evidences. Other’s witness is good, but it needs the experience with God
of our self.

Stop judging by mere appearance
John 7:14-24
How did this man get such learning without having studied?
Jesus answered " My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me."
If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak my own.
The crowd answered "You are demon-possessed, Who is trying to kill you?"
Jesus explained for himself,"I did one miracle, and you are all astonished. If a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for hearing the whole man on the Sabbath?
Stop judging by mere appearance, and make a right judgement.
Why?
Jesus did miracles to save people's life, but the demon is to kill the life of man. The crowd could not find out the difference.
The law of Moses is a custom of Israel, they did not know the truth of the law, but they do not confess it.
We always like to judge others, stop judge others. We also judge others by appearance, we need to understand it more before we give judgement.
The rue of the judgement should follow the teaching of the Lord- The Truth.
How?
Stop judging anyone and loving others. Action from love will let other knows I am belong to the Jesus.

Do the right thing in the right time
John 7:1-13
Therefore Jesus told his brothers, "The right time for me has not yet come; for you any time is right."
For me the the right time has not yet come.
Jesus brothers did not believe in him.
Among the crowds there were said "He is a good man", others said "No, He deceives the people."
Why?
Last time Jesus visited Jerusalem there was trouble, ending in plot against his life. In Judea his life is still in danger.
His time- the time of his death has not yet come, so he avoids publicity. avoiding dangers.
Jesus was alone in that time, his brother did not believe him, outside Jews want to kill him. The disciples are not really understand him. Jesus suffered bitter life on earth.
How?
I am alone also , I am suffering the stress of the work. But compare with Jesus'a suffering, I am little.
Our time is in hand of the Lord, don't so hurry to do something, do the right thing in the right time is the most. Don't too hurry.
Therefore Jesus told his brothers, "The right time for me has not yet come; for you any time is right."

Be aware don't follow the secular
John 6:66-71
Many Jesus disciples were leave turned back and no longer followed him. Jesus asked the Twelve"You do not want to leave too, do you?"
Peter replied,"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
Jesus knew there is a devil among the Twelve, was later to betray him.
Why
Many disciples for they could not accept the teaching of Jesus so they left. They can understand the meaning of Jesus is the bread of life.
The truth always not much people understand it, most people are follow the secular or rumor. Listened many but understand and grow up are a little.
Peter declared the real identity of Jesus who he is.
Jesus knew Judas will betray him, but he obey the command of the Lord, he did not reject him stayed with him. At that day his devil evidence will show up. Jesus has mercy on Judas.
How?
Before I knew Jesus I was stubborn and no wisdom, since I know Jesus is the bread of life, he has the words of eternal life, I follow Jesus and follow his commands.
Be aware don't follow the secular but the truth, how to identify is based on the teaching of the Lord.

The words Jesus said are spirit and they are life
John 6:60-65
6:37All that the Father gives me will come to me. v65 I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him.
Many of his disipes said,"This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"
Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, "Jesus said to them," Does this offend you? What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! The spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The word I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life."
Jesus knows which disciples did not believe and who would betray him.
Why?
Jesus's teaching and his words are not everyone can accept, except who has been enabled by the Lord. So all of us are the mercy of God comes upon us.
Hard teaching is teaching material could not be understood to the students. Sometime is the teaching method of the teacher, sometime is the problem of the mind and heart of the students.
Flesh will perish, but the life is comes from the spirit. Flesh is temporary, but the spirit is forever.
How?
When I can not understand the words of God teaching, I should pray to the Lord to give me the word and open my spirit to know it.

Stop grumbling for it is useless to learn the truth
John 6:41-59
Jesus is the bread of life.
I am the living bread that comes from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
Jews began to grumble about him and argue sharply among themselves because Jesus said.
Your forefathers ate manna and die, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever.
Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. No one has seen the Father except the one who is come from God.
Why?
For most of the people they can't understand how Jesus said these words and how we can eat his flesh and drink his blood. it seems terrible. Actually they couldn't understand what Jesus taught.
Misunderstanding may cause grumbling and argument. But the love of the Lord can interpreted by human philosophy.
Jesus comes from heaven so the people living on earth can't understand it.
Listen to his words and learn from Jesus, then we will have faith and understand what Jesus said. When Jesus rises, Holy spirit comes, Holy spirit teaches us to know more about Jesus and God.
How?
Stop grumbling for it is useless to learn the truth. Listen and learn to the Lord, he has the answer.
Jesus is the living bread, his words is our daily bread. Reading and studying his words everyday let our spiritual life never hungry.

John 6:34-40
Jesus said,"I am the bread of life."
He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never thirsty.
But I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.
From Jesus, "All that the father gives me , and whoever comes to me I will never drive way.
For my father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son an believe in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
Why?
Jesus is the bread of life, so it is not for physical eating, he gives us the spiritual eternal life. Our physical body will perish.
Believe is faith, and have not seen it. But those people they have seen Jesus and so many miraculous sings, they still do not believe.
Jesus once again and again declared he gives us the eternal life when we believe him and come to Jesus.
Why?
People do not believe Jesus, because his mind and heart is closed, have not the mercy from the Lord, his heart is proud and selfish.
Believe in Jesus can not study it by science or any logical analysis, because believe is a faith, when you believe then it will be truth, and it is could be testified. I am the one from beginning to now. Thank you dear heavenly Father.

What must we do the works of God requires?
The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
It is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
Why?
Jesus said miraculous sign is not the motivation of people seek him but for the food, miraculous sign sometime is happen on limited person, have not much relation with us, healing is we needed, but we will die one day. the eternal life is more important.
No one can live without food. But Jesus comes to provide 'bread' that will satisfy more than physical hunger.
What God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent.
Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord (Deut. 8:3)
Moses wrote the words of the Lord, gave the law of God, manna was given from the Lord for physical life, but Jesus gives the bread of life.
How?
Do the work of God, believe in Jesus who is the Son of God.
Am I working hard for the living? or for the Jesus? sometime I have to meditate it, we might forget what I am working for.
When I believe in Jesus than I will know what I should do and what I can't do.

It is I, don't be afraid
John 6:15-21
Jesus walk on the water, When his disciples saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water, they were terrified.
Jesus said "It is I, don't be afraid."
Why?
Jesus keep away from the crowd and went to mountain alone, then crowd won't make him king by force.
Walk on water make disciples know one more sign of Son of God.
Miraculous sing from the Lord to unbeliever sometime might be afraid. the difference is coming from the Lord has peace, as Jesus said "Don't be afraid."
No one can walk on water, Jesus is higher than prophet.
How?
Distinguish a spirit comes from the Lord or comes from evil one is the peace in our heart. The Holy Spirit makes us feel peace and do't be afraid.

Miraculous sign comes from the Heaven
John 6:1-14
A great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous sign he had performed on the sick.
Jesus saw a great crowd coming toward him, he care about what these to eat? Jesus provides bread to them.
With five small barley loves and two small fishes (donated) from a boy, Jesus took the loves, gave thinks, and distributed those who were seated as much as they want. there were 5000 of them.
All the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."
Jesus knows that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdraw again to a mountain by himself.
Why?
Jesus provides us not only spiritual food but also bread of life.
People will follow Jesus is for the miraculous sign they saw.
Miraculous thing are one from heaven, so Jesus prays and thanks, distributes it to crowd. As preach spiritual life we first pray, than thank Lord give us this good news and accepted Jesus, then distribute this gospel from neighbor to all of the world.
Jesus is not come to be a king of the world, he is come to be the Savior of all men. He is king of the kings, to be a king of Israel is not his purpose, and is not God's plan.
How?
Don't worry what I have to eat, the Lord will prepare it for us.
Miraculous sign comes from the heaven. Thanks the Lord and pray to the Lord,our God is all mighty.

Jesus has all authority from the Lord
John 5:19-47
The father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgement to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.
Who ever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
I myself can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.
John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you posses eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
I do not accept praise from men, but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your heart.
If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
Why?
Moses wrote about Jesus is Deuteronomy 18:18 Jesus is the Prophet God told Moses he would raise up.
Son of God:
1)He knows God's plan v20
2)He has God's authorization for all he says and does. v19,30
3)He has power to give eternal life v21,24,40
4)He has the right and authority to judge all people, living and dead v25-29
A man who make these claim must be 'mad, bad or truly God'. What support can he give them?
The word God spoke at his baptism; the testimony of John the Baptist; the evidence of his own miracles; the words of Old Testament scripture.
The eternal life is come from Jesus, not in Bible, but the Bible wrote about Jesus Christ.
From mind or concept of man would not accept Jesus as God, unless the Lord open his heart.
How?
Thanks the Lord that I may know Jesus and believe in His name, then I have the eternal life. Jesus has the right to judge all of what we did in the world.
The father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgement to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.
Who ever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
I myself can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.
John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you posses eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
I do not accept praise from men, but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your heart.
If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

Heal an invalid for thirty eight years
John 5:1-18
Jesus did the third miraculous signs to heal an invalid for thirty eight years at the Pool of Bethesda.
This disable man could not do anything, he had hopes, but no one can heal him until he met Jesus.Jesus said to him "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk"
The Jews persecuted Jesus, not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling god his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Why?
It was not the general principle of the Sabbath as a special day that he disagreed with (he regularly attended the synagogue) but the petty restriction imposed by the religious authorities, which often worked against God's purpose in giving people a weekly day or rest and worship.
Regulation or authorities sometime need to check the purpose or effect is corespondent to the Lord.
Jesus rescues the hopeless people, be forgotten persons. and Jesus is helper of all people.
How?
Can I love the people who needs our help, and do something for them.
The truth meaning of Sabbath is our heart could rest and do actions to love people.

To reap what you have not worked for
John 4:30-54
Jesus said "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work."
Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even ow the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the the crop for eternal life, so the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
I sent you to reap what you have not worked for.
Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, and they urged Jesus to stay with them. They said to the woman,"We no longer believe just because of what you said; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.
Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders, you will never believe. When the father realized that this was exact time at which Jesus said to him. "Your son will live".So he and all his household believed.
Why?
Jesus said more important thing: Spiritual food- to do the will of the Lord. Spiritual food is more important than physical food, eat physical food will hungry again. As drink the living water won't get thirsty.
They are ripe for harvest, they are the Samaritans, sometimes we think they won't believe in Jesus, everyone has the opportunity to accept Jesus, don't limit the works of the Lord.
Preach gospel is a team work, someone sow and someone ripe, Gospel is the wisdom and the power of the Lord. We are his servant.
Is the words o Jesus let Samaritans believe Jesus is the Savior of the world, but the woman is a testimony attracted many people come to Jesus.
How?
Do not despise anyone has possibility to accept Jesus. Open my eyes and look at the field! People need to accept Jesus as their Savior.
In flesh I am always focus on physical food in my life, but I am appreciated the Lord open my eyes to know the Spiritual food- to do the will of Him.

Worship the Lord in spirit and in truth
John 4:1-30
In fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back to Galilee.
Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired and thirsty as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Talk between Jesus and the Samaritan woman
The woman said Jesus declared
water drinking water living water
worship in mountain or in Jerusalem in spirit and in truth
Jesus is prophet Messiah
As the conversation develops it becomes clear that the woman's need is not physical bur spiritual, that she has a moral problem which she side-steps with a theological question.
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and truth.
Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?
Why?
Jesus went back to Galilee for he don't like make arguments to John and His time haven't come.
Yes, Jesus Christ knows what we did.
Jesus choose the short route from Jerusalem to Galilee which takes him through Samaritan - normally avoided by Jews, since 700 years of religious and racial prejudice separated the Jew from the Samaritan.
Tired and thirsty through he is, Jesus never ignores human need.
The woman knows Jesus is a prophet and she met the Christ. She was joyful to share this message.
Jesus preached gospel to Samaritan, not only to Jews.
How?
To be a normal, we have physical need and spiritual needs. Don't live like superman, saint and pretend our weak and sins.
I must worship the Lord in spirit and i truth, not just sing the song in church.

A man can receive only what is given him from heaven
John 3:22-36
The argument developed between some of John's disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial wishing. John replied to this matter.
A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
Joy is in him when he hears the voice of Jesus, He must become greater; I must become less.
The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and hear, but no one accept his testimony.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.
No trace of bitterness or jealousy sours his gladness at Jesus' God-given success. John is happy to let Jesus take the limelight, and to fade into the background himself.
Why?
Jesus was baptized by John,but Jesus is baptizing also, so there were argument between John's disciples and Jews.
Jesus comes from heaven, his word is truth and relates to the eternal life. Whoever believes in his name has eternal life. Whoever rejects Jesus will not see life, they see the matter on earth only, they belong to the earth.
How?
All I have, all of my capability are comes from heaven, if mercy of the Lord did not come upon me, I will have nothing. I appreciated the gifts and loves from the Lord. I am glad that I believe the Son has eternal life.

Born again and Eternal life
John 2:24-3:21
Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew what was in a man.
Pharisees named Nicodemus, a Jewish ruling council, he came to Jesus at night ad said," Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God."
Jesus declared,"I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
Jesus answered,'I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit." The Spirit like wind blows wherever it pleases, you hear the sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
Jesus said," I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
Light has come into the word, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.
John's only used of "kingdom of God", the phrase so frequently used in the other three Gospel. "Eternal life" he use constantly.
Why?
Eternal life involves something which can only be described as rebirth, being 'born of the Spirit'
How?
I am born in of water and Spirit, bu sometime I have my flesh mind, may holy Spirit get rid of my selfish mind, think more about the things of heaven.

clears the temple.
John 2:13-23
Jesus clears the temple.
In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. Jesus drove these out of temple and said "How dare you turn my Father's house into a market."
His disciples remembered that it is written:"Zeal for your house will consume me."(Pslam 69:9)
Jesus has another miraculous sign, he will raise it again in three days when temple is destroy. The temple he spoken of was his body.
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said, Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
Why?
John wrote these things about Jesus, disciples was reminded that Jesus did has his meaning, to show He is the Christ and is coincident with the scripture.
Not only the church but also our body of christian is temple of the Lord, we should keep it clean for being used of the Lord.
Jesus visit 'his' Temple and asserts his unique authority- to be instantly questioned by the authorities about his right to do so.
How?
Jesus has the right to clear the Temple and all of our sins.

Turn the water into wine; John2
John 2:1-12
Jesus did first miraculous sings: turned the water into wine in banquet.
Jesus mother was there: may be she was a helper in that banquet.
Jesus mother told Jesus "They have no more wine"
Jesus replied "Dear woman, why do you involve me? My time has not yet come."
Jesus mother said to the servants, "Do what ever he tells you."
The wedding festivities normally lasted a week, and when the wine ran out the bridegroom must have been highly embarrassed.
Why?
This is the first of seven 'signs' selected by John. All have a purpose- they actively support the claims Jesus made, and are intended to lead to confirm faith.
No one, not even his mother, has the right to pressure to Jesus. But Jesus's reply is not as harsh as some translation make it.
Jesus turn the empty to abundant, Jesus provides the water of life and brings to man joyful life.
Jesus join the joyful wedding banquet turn the embarrass to happy.
How?

The Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world
John 1:19-34
John the Baptist's testimony that he did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Christ."
John said "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.'" in the words of Isaiah.
John baptized with water, Jesus baptize with Holy spirit.
When John saw Jesus next day and said "Look, the Lamb of God, who take away the sin of the world! This is the one I meant when I said."
John said "I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptist with water told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' I have seen and I testify that this is the son of God.
Guide lines:
John said who he is.
John replied why he baptizes with water.
John said I myself did not know Him.
Jesus is the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
John saw Holy Spirit came from heaven like dove and remain on him.
Why
John have not known Jesus before he baptized Jesus, so John has a witness of Jesus is the son of God.
When our mission is ended in this world, then it is the time of our life to be ended.
Lamb is used for offering on the alter, son of God himself to be the sin offering on the Altar.

The glory of the One and Only
John 1:14-18
The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
John and other disciples have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the father, full of grace and truth.
John testifies Jesus, "He who comes after me has surpasses me because he was before me".
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
No one have ever seen God, but the God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
Why?
It is the love of God, who became flesh and made his dwelling among us. He don't have to do so, but in this low situation to show us his truth and grace.
Moses gave us the law, but people always fail to obey the law, Jesus came gave us the grace and truth which let us more understand the truth of God and full of grace comes upon us. Everyone has the opportunity to accept the Savior.
Jesus is a real person in first century, John testified Jesus came and His mission to us.
No one has seen God and alive, but the Lord show himself through Jesus to let us know Him.
God sent his messenger to prepare his people for Christ's coming, but the role of his only Son is to make God known.
How?
I have believed Jesus is the son of God, He is the Christ and He loves us. May all of men turn their heart to Jesus, it is easy way, confess our sin and look up the face of Jesus. Then we will be free from the death and sin.

He is the true light to every man
John 1:1-13
The Word was with God, the Word was God, He was with God in the beginning, so in the beginning, He is the Word and He is the God.
Through him all thing were made. In him was life , and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
John was sent from God, He was not the light, he came as a witness to the light.
He came to that which was his own,but his own did not receive him. All who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- children born not of natural descent, bur born of God.
Why?
John was certainly one of those who knew Jesus best. John and James, with Peter, formed the privileged inner ring of Jesus' band of 12.
The great keynote of John's gospel is love. John portrays Jesus as an unquenchable light, shining in the darkness:one who offers the gift of life.
The story of Jesus does not begin with human birth: this Gospel concerns the word one who shares God's own nature; like Matthew and Luke begin their story at the time of Jesus, Mark at the start of his ministry.
Jesus is God, He is with God, Jesus came to the earth be a light of men.
Jesus gave his life as a gift to us, bring us to the truth. If there is not light, no one can understand the truth, but the darkness has not understood it. Most men refuse Jesus, refuse the light, light reveal their sins.
How?
Jesus came from heaven to earth to rescue us from hell and death. Jesus loves me. What can I say? Praise the Lord, preach gospel to many people they haven't know Jesus.
The Word was with God, the Word was God, He was with God in the beginning, so in the beginning, He is the Word and He is the God.
Through him all thing were made. In him was life , and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
John was sent from God, He was not the light, he came as a witness to the light.
He came to that which was his own,but his own did not receive him. All who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- children born not of natural descent, bur born of God.

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective
James 5:12-19
Do not swear. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No" ,no or you will be condemned.
Is anyone of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praises.
Is anyone sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well.
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
My Brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth ad someone should bring him back. Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multiple of sins.
Why?
Jesus taught us do't swear by anything, for all of these are belong to the Lord, we should honesty to say yes or no, don't cheat anyone.
Prayer offer in faith is the basic altitude of prayer.
Confess our sins to each other and pray for each other make all of us getting better in our life. But sometimes we afraid confess our sins before others. We may confess the sins before the Lord or before our friends of spirit.
The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.
Bring a sinner back is good, but more important is lead a brother wander from the truth.
How?
Many things I have not power or wisdom to do it. Honors be tour God, He give the power of pray to us, when I prayer in faith, the Lord can do it from heaven. Righteous is one who follow the commands of the Lord.

Be patient, brothers, and stand firm
James 5:1-11
Such rich people weep and wail, for they have hoarded wealth in the last day. 1)Failed to pay the workmen,2) Lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. 3)Condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you.
Be patient, brothers, and stand firm until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield it valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains.
A an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. We considered blessed those who have persevered.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Why?
Rich is not sin but if he earned money by failing pay to the workmen or self-indulgence and condemned innocent men. Those person will weep and wail for their god and silver. All of these will be useless at the last days.
To be a Christian have to be patient and stand until the Lord's coming. Patient make us really know what the love of Lord and his mercy and our faith is in Him.
Blessed are those who have persevered, these blessing is in heaven, sometime on earth have blessing also. For our Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Our life is short in these world. focus on the heaven, then we may persevere all these suffering.
The life is so pleasant that they forget the day of reckoning. But God sees and hears all.
How?
Work and do for the Lord almighty, Be patient and stand firm with joy. We are blessed for the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
