DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ST. JOHN 8:23-25

(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.
(24)  I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins:  for  if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
(25)  Then said they unto him,  Who art thou?  And Jesus saith unto them,  Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

INQUIRY MINDS WANTS TO KNOW

Brethren, humanity in all respects;  it is a terrible thing to live our lives unworthily, not to accept Jesus Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior of the world, believe in him, have salvation and life everlasting.

Regardless of what type of nationalities, ethnicities, genders or skin colors of humanity;  the door of salvation is open to every unsaved soul:  we have heard from believers who have had visitations from Jesus Christ in dreams or visions, woke up from deep slumbers and accepted him:  even in remote areas of the world, where missionaries have not yet preached the gospel, Jesus himself is doing his works, converting souls into his ministry; touching lives through the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit throughout the world for his glorification; therefore, let us also do our parts, for his second coming is closer than ever before, if we have not yet receive him as Lord and Savior, let us come unto him as soon as possible, receive him into our hearts before trumpets shall sound for the gatherings of believers into eternal lives.

In this chapter, Jesus warned his followers against unbelief; even though they heard him preached kingdom words of our Father, saw him perform miracles; yet refuse to believed in him as part our Father; but continued to follow, listen and find faults to criticise and accuse him;  therefore, at a point he said unto them,  "I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.";  what sin is Jesus talking about in this text?; the sin of not believing in him; it is a terrible thing not to believe in Jesus Christ, for he is the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father but by him: (John 14:6); our salvation and life everlasting depends upon him; there is no other way;   Then said the Jews,  Will he kill himself?  because he saith,  Whither I go, ye cannot come.; (John 8:21);  this is sins of assumption;  let us not jump into conclusions regarding matters before we find out detail informations;  but give one another benefits of doubts, enquire about things before we pass judgments on others.

In this case, Jesus said unto them, "Ye are from beneath; I am from abode;  ye are of this world;  I am not of this world.";  inferentially,  Jesus came from heaven to minister kingdom words of our Father, during his ministration, spoke about going back to heaven after his assignment, where he came from to earth;  further explained to them that as humans, they are created to live on planet earth, refer to Genesis 1:27-30:  therefore, Jesus explained to them that they are of this world;  as we already know, through the sins of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, man inherited sinful bloodlines;  therefore, Jesus came to free humanity from the bondage of sins with his shed blood on the cross, and by his death and resurrection, we receive salvation, grace and eternal lives.

Therefore, if we refuse to accept him as Lord and Savior, partake of  his blood redemption, grace to have relationships with our maker; sequentially, we are still in bondage, iniquities still prevails against our souls,  guess what?; we are doomed to damnation after we sleep in death; may that not be our inheritances.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, as believers of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, each and everyone of us, when we became born again, had an encounter with the Holy Spirits;  when people share their testimonies, at times, other believers find it difficult to believe their narratives; therefore, many times inquiry minds wants to know, the authenticity of their stories:  in this text, Jesus explained to his followers what he meant in his statement of unbelief; but, some of his followers inquire that he explained who he was again, in other to have concrete reasons to accuse and arrest him; but Jesus answered saying, "it is the same thing I told you originally."; therefore, let us beware of people with inquiry minds, understand that not everyone closer to us, is on our sides spiritually;  let us be ware, wise and gentle with people, not to fall into traps set up by enemies to derail potentials and destines; but always trust and believe in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
