DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ST. JOHN 14;23-26

(23)  Je'sus 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.
(24)  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
(25)  These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
(26)  But the Comforter, which is the Ho'ly Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


THE TRUE VINE

Brethren, let us not just do showmanship with our worship for others to see that we are followers of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; let our everyday actions show also who we really are in the faith or his righteousness by keeping and doing of his words.

Case in point, throughout the scriptures, we read how important it is to obey the voice of the Lord by doing his will, in today's text, Jesus is teaching his followers the same lessons on obedience of his words;  (23)  Je'sus 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.  Brethren, if we claim to love Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we ought to also obey his words by walking in his righteousness and love one another as we love ourselves by showing kindness to others who lack various amenities; for Jesus sees all right or wrong doings and nothing that we do for others are wasted but there are rewards for all gestures; and not only will Jesus reciprocate our love for him by keeping his words, but the Father will also love us and they both will have closer relationships with us at all times because we are in his will.  (24)  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.  Beloved, if we refuse to be faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, to transform our lives, to conform our habits and moral conducts, and to stay in one accord within his will, we deceive ourselves and his love is not in us;  for his teachings are not really from him but they are words from the Father of all creation who cause him to reveal them from his own heart unto humanity.


WORDS OF INSPIRATION:

Points to ponder,  everything that the Father gave to his Son Jesus Christ to teach his children on planet earth, he gave unto us through the scriptures; he said,  (25)  These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.  Jesus is saying, "I tell you everything, while am still available to give them to you."  However, I believe that not all his teachings were recorded in the scriptures; for, there are much more lessons being taught by believers of today through the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit; as promised by Jesus Christ unto his believers in verse twenty-six of this chapter. Jesus said to his disciples that when he lives, he will not leave them comfortless; I will come to you. (John 14:18);  Jesus promised to come to his disciples through the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit, who will come bearing his name to teach them all things, verse twenty-six;  therefore, if his followers forget something that they need to know, say or write for his glorification, the comforter will help to recall them back into memory to encourage and inspire both believers and unbelievers in the faith of his righteousness.

Fruits of thoughts,  this is the promise of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  (26)  But the Comforter, which is the Ho'ly Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.  Brethren, the Comforter is with us today, teaching and bringing all things to the glorification of the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  on the other hand, it is the nature of humanity to take things for granted while they have access to them; however, when we no longer have those same privileges that was made available to us before; at times, we regret for not paying closer attentions to information provided or not utilizing those privileges set before us to its fullest; therefore, let us pay closer attention to the voice of the Holy Spirit always!


CONCLUSION:

Brethren,  today, if we walk with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior in the light of his words and obey him, the Holy Spirit will guide our ways into salvation, grace and eternity.  Amen and Amen!
