The Voice Of The Judge.

John 5: 25

25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 

I am so blessed to have Jesus in life as Savior and Lord because I will be one of those who would hear His voice and will live for eternity. We don't know for sure what He's gonna tell us that day. But in one of the parables a Master said to His servant "Well done my good and faithful servant."  That's maybe what Jesus would tell us when He comes back. 

Notice by the way, He didn't say "great" but "good". He didn't say "successful" but "faithful". Friends, it's okay not to be great nor successful in the things that God entrusted you to do. Just do it with faithfulness and even how small it is God would consider it as good.

Jesus is obviously referring to His second coming for His saints. It's is one of His promises that I am so excited to look forward. He already said, that we don't let our hearts be troubled. We just need to trust Him because He already prepared rooms for us in heaven. There's gonna be no pain and sorrow when we get there. All of us will be rejoicing and worshipping in Heaven day and night, singing "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain".

Now let's talk a bit about a lamb that was slain. It's interesting to me when John has a revelation for Heaven. In "Revelation 5:6" Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

Friends,that was referring to Jesus obviously. It's interesting John saw a Lamb as if it had been slain standing at the center of the throne in heaven. Does that mean that Jesus brought His humanity in heaven? We don't know for sure but this is an amazing thing we would know when we get there. 

Friends, let's just keep pressing forward because Jesus is gonna come for you and me soon. Life on earth is temporary. Don't give up, keep trusting Him. Thanks.

The Son of Man

John 5: 27   And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.   Here we see Jesus relationship with the Father. How intimate it is that the Father gave him the authority to judge.  But what does "Son of Man" mean? This does not mean that Jesus was son of Joseph the husband of Mary who conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Let's read the book of   Daniel 7: 13-14  to help us understand why Jesus has this title being the "Son of Man". 13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. Jesus was obviously fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel when he said in...

The Road.

John 5:23 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.  Jesus statement became more not acceptable to the ears of Jewish leaders this time. Notice, He said "all may honor the Son". Not some. Therefore each and everyone must give honor to Him.  John in his little book in First John make it more dangerous. He used the word "deny" which has the same verb meaning with  disagree, renounce, decline even refuse or reject.  1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:  (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also . (KJV). But you see, how God gives us the chance? Both Jesus and John didn't stop there. They still gives options that those who honors and acknowledges the Son does the same to the Father. There is no bypass at all. Must go through Jesus always.  Let's back up a little of what John has said "whoe...

Who are the Pharisees?

John 5: 16-18 16   So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.  17   In his defense Jesus said to them,  “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”   18   For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.  It's amazing to know that God has always and would not stop working in my life. As I still have things in life that I need God's mercy to change and mold me. In spite of being not perfect, yet I have a perfect and loving God who always there for me. Lift me up in times of down and sad moments. Every single day, God through His word speaks to me and with His Holy Spirit who convicts and leads me to obey His word. I can't go on serving Him without His grace.  The powerful response of Jesus in verse 17 destructed ...
