John on the love of Jesus and you
I am getting bad at keeping up with this and the word and that is never good. We need the word all the time. First a couple things I need to dat to readers. No the bible needs to be studied and I am not going to stop. I know a few do not think I ought to read and make conclusions on the bible but that is a Catholic thing and I am not ever going to need to join them as they are wrong on the values I have. It is not them who have the truth it is Jesus alone that saved you by his blood and no work you ever do is ok to save you. Never do they factor into the saving of your soul Jesus blood alone does it and I will never be ok with any system that does not teach that. I am not going to let a priest teach me. I am a priest and so is every one that Jesus picks and saved. Read Hebrews and see that Jesus is the line of priest and we are to go to Him alone to confess our sins and not any man.
I am sort of going in John about one time a week and I am hoping to more into it over the summer and not have to hit KJV sites and tell you all they are nuts. But if your out there I am going to keep on you KJV folks until you all stop this non sense. I got to say a good friend that grew up that way started a church. (He was a baptist and saw the light) and he preaches out of the ESB and I say that because I am out to get kids to get looking at the issue from all sides and I want to tell kids the truth on this issue and say how silly it really is
John 5 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life;
I said that the book of John is like a court room in parts and Jesus is the one the author is showing to be God. Here Jesus has been told to be true from God the Father and John The baptist. Jesus is now saying the folk read the bible and the words of the bible all point to him. Jesus is thew theme of all the old things they read and Jesus is not the one they go to for life. People need not look anywhere but to the bible and Jesus for life forever. Jesus is going to save you but without the bible no one is going to know that. We need to have a bible to know who Jesus is. Jesus is the way to have life forever.
and these are they which testify of Me. 40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
They are not willing partly because Jesus did not call them to saving faith. If they knew who Jesus was then they will come right away. People would see the promise of heaven and run to Jesus and his grace but folks are not because the Lord has not given them life or worked in them to come to Jesus. We need to be willing but no one in the flesh is willing because the desire to follow is not going to come unless the Lord places it into a man.
41 “I do not receive honor from men.
Jesus does not come to get the praise of man. Jesus is not going to get the praise unle3ss he sets people up by working on thekm to give him praise. Never look folks for the praise of man you look for the praise of God and the approval of God because in the end that is all that is going to matter. If Jesus does not love you I wonder if life even matters. I know Jesus does love you and wants you to love him and be closer to him. But if Jesus did not love you I wonder if life is worth anything really. To me it would not because as a man that knows the Lo9rd his love is all that matters and sometime that love is in others for me. Jesus also did not look for mans honor because he had the honor of God and that was all that matters to him so why ought we look for mans love when Jesus did not need it
42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”1
In that time nobody loved Jesus if God did not love Jesus and they knew God. In 44 Jesus asked a good thing, How can you look to one another and look for love when there is no love in man for man. Listen there is no love to give if Jesus is not with you and if your not saved you have no love because God is the only love out there. If one does not love God he is unable to love anyone, because there is no love outside Jesus.
I think the last part of the passage is telling the people that Jesus points to the bible and the bible points to Jesus. Jesus is the center of all the bible and it points to him in every part. In the old Jesus is in every book. Here is a song to show this

Jesus is Lord
If your a racist in any way heaven is not for you. Jesus was not ojk with it and I have a alsolute no racism policy. If you are racist in any way we are no longer friends and I trust your soul is in hell forever unless you repent of this evil insane crime. That means if the people of different races want to date they are allowed to because love has no color. I hate anyone who is racial and does not leave it alone. Jesus is not a white man and if you think he is see you later. Please if you hold anything whatsoever racist inform me and I want you to know I am not going to trust you with Gods word and teaching it and I am not honoring you if you take Jesus and make him king and have any racial thoughts.
Here is a good place to see the wacky IBF at work.

Ok enough fun for tonight as I also am working in the bible to bring it to life for us and I need to do it all the time.
For a few nights I am going to talk about some of the witess to the Lord Jesus being the son of God. I want to hit the deity of Jesus and that means the fact Jesus is God. He has all of God in him on earth. On the cross Jesus died and God died for your sins. If you do not get this right in life your not right about Jesus. Now I could do a 30 day thing on this and I might but I really need to do John and perhaps a seies will come soon on this topic.
John 5 31 “If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. 32 There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. 33 You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. 35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. 1
John the Baptist is one that knew that Jesus was the Son of God and he had the proof of what he saw at the baptism of Jesus. In the baptism Jesus came out of the water and the people saw a dove come down and a voice of God and it said THIS IS MY SON IN WHO I AM WELL PLEASED. In MATT 17 GOD said that Jesus is his son and we are to listen to him. (another witness of the Lord God). John also had said in the book that Jesus is the Lamb of God that takes the sin of the world. John also sent people to see what Jesus was doing and to ask Jesus is he was God and Jesus said to tell John the things that Jesus was doing. Now the reason Jesus was giving the 5 witness to his work was to show the Jews the truth. Here is a passage in the old testament that Jesus is fulfilling.
Dt 17 6 Whoever is deserving of death shall be put to death on the testimony of two or three witnesses; he shall not be put to death on the testimony of one witness.2
Jesus was about the die for us and they had to have the truth on who he is and was. We need to trust the bible the Jesus is who he said and we can because of Johns testimony to this truth

Healed but not saved
Psalms 138 2 1 I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You.
2 I will worship toward Your holy temple,
And praise Your name
For Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
He has his word above his name. God and Jesus are going to honor t5he word above the name of Jesus. Hey it is right here so I am going to say it until I am torn away. I always knew that was in the bible but not sure where to find it.
Back in the time of Jesus their were people that followed the law of God and made things up in that law so people would do things that God said not to and also what5 man said not to. God wanted the people to not work on the sabbath and worship him. I happen to be one that does not work on sunday and I am weak to the point where it is not right to. I do not really follow this because I go and eat out making others work so I am not all that big on it. But the Jews had made laws that were not right in Jesus eyes and our focus ought to be Jesus and the words he spoke. In the passage I think there are good things we can focus on and Jesus said things I need.
John 5 And that day was the Sabbath. 10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”
11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”
12 Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.
Jesus told this man to get up and take his bed. Not right in mans eyes at that time but we look to the giver of the Law Jesus and Jesus made this ok. Note that they asked who done it and Jesus went and hid. If they got him I think they would of killed Jesus for this.
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”
15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.
1It seems that some times sin can cause us to get sick. If you sin you might get sick. David in the old testament had his bones waste away and that was illness caused by sin. If you commit sex outside of marige you can get aids. If you smoke you can die of bad lungs. But I also do not make that to mean all sickness is of sin. Jesus told this man if he did not stop sinning worse could happen top him. I think people can sin in ways and harm things in life they do not want to. If you drink to much your liver is going to be gone.
So did this man love Jesus. Nope he turns Jesus into the leaders and they nail Jesus for it. Jesus healed the man and this man was not thankful or kind at all. He turned on Jesus the first time he could. I am sure the man used Jesus and then did not heed the warning Jesus gave and might be in hell today. What a sad end to this mans day. Jesus had this man and the man ends up walking away and gives the leaders more stuff to kill Jesus on. May we learn to not fumble the things Jesus does for us into bad and nasty stuff.
