Part XI
We need to keep growing in the Grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. John 10:36 (NJB): Yet to someone whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world you say, ‘You are blaspheming’ because I said, ‘I am Son of God. We must never doubt or disbelieve, but constantly count on the promises of God , draw strength from our faith in Jesus, the Son of the Living God and give glory to God. John 19:7 (NJB): The Jews replied, ‘We have a Law, and according to that Law he ought to be put to death, because he has claimed to be Son of God.’ Jesus never boasted but always spoke the truth about Himself and the Father being one inseparable God. John 10:33 (NJB): The Jews answered him, ‘We are stoning you, not for doing a good work, but for blasphemy; though you are only a man, you claim to be God.’ Matthew 26:63 (NJB): But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, ‘I put you on oath by the living God to tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God. Matthew 26:64 (NJB): 64 Jesus answered him, ‘It is you who say it. But, I tell you that from this time onward you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven. Unless we are born again through Water and Spirit we will be blind to the glorious mysteries of heaven happening around us. John 12:34–36 (NJB): 34 The crowd answered, ‘The Law has taught us that the Christ will remain for ever. So how can you say, “The Son of man must be lifted up”? Who is this Son of man?’ 35 Jesus then said: The light will be with you only a little longer now. Go on your way while you have the light, or darkness will overtake you, and nobody who walks in the dark knows where he is going. 36 While you still have the light, believe in the light so that you may become children of light. When we do not believe that Jesus Christ is Son of God, the darkness will overpower us. Let us accept Him wholeheartedly and believe blindly in His Name, that we may receive power to become children of God !
