DECEMBER 8 – JESUS

12/8 John 8:39-41
“Our father is Abraham,” they declared. “No,” Jesus replied, “for if you were children of Abraham, you would follow his good example. 40 I told you the truth I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham wouldn’t do a thing like that. 41 No, you are obeying your real father when you act that way.”
They replied, “We were not born out of wedlock! Our true Father is God himself.”
JESUS
Jesus is God. He is Lord of all. He came to earth, lived a perfect life and went to the cross as a sacrifice for our sin. The Father raised Him from the dead and He is now seated at the right hand of the Father. Jesus is Lord of all.

DECEMBER 7 – LISTENING?

12/7 John 8:37-38
Yes, I realize that you are descendants of Abraham. And yet some of you are trying to kill me because my message does not find a place in your hearts. 38 I am telling you what I saw when I was with my Father. But you are following the advice of your father.”
LISTENING?
Are you listening? Jesus is active in our life and He will speak to you if you will listen. Listen for the Lord’s comments and He will direct your path.

DECEMBER 6 – SALVATION

12/6 John 8:33-36
“But we are descendants of Abraham,” they said. “We have never been slaves to anyone on earth. What do you mean, ‘set free’?” 34 Jesus replied, “I assure you that everyone who sins is a slave of sin. 35 A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free.
SALVATION
Salvation in Jesus Christ provides freedom from slavery to sin. In Jesus we are free indeed and live our life under His watch care.

DECEMBER 5 – TRUTH

12/5 John 8:31-32
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you keep obeying my teachings. 32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
TRUTH
Truth comes from God. We learn His truth in His Word. If we believe Him and His Word we will walk in, live in the truth. If we don’t believe Him we will walk in slavery and not in truth. That’s the truth.

DECEMBER 4 – BELIEVE

12/4 John 8:30
Then many who heard him say these things believed in him.
BELIEVE
Do you believe in Jesus? We must first accept Him before He is can be in us and guiding us in what we do. Now, step one make sure you believe in Jesus. He is Lord.

DECEMBER 3 – DO

12/3 John 8:28-29
So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the cross, then you will realize that I am he and that I do nothing on my own, but I speak what the Father taught me. 29 And the one who sent me is with me — he has not deserted me. For I always do those things that are pleasing to him.”
DO
What we do bears testimony to what is in our heart. Develop our relationship with Jesus and we will change what we do each day. We must be before we can do.

DECEMBER 2 – GOD

12/2 John 8:25-27
“Tell us who you are,” they demanded. Jesus replied, “I am the one I have always claimed to be. 26 I have much to say about you and much to condemn, but I won’t. For I say only what I have heard from the one who sent me, and he is true.” 27 But they still didn’t understand that he was talking to them about his Father.
GOD
JESUS is God. He is Creator and Lord of all things. Trust Jesus and He will save you. Trust Jesus and He will guide your every step. Trust the Lord.

DECEMBER 1 – DIE

12/1 John 8:23-24
Then he said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not. 24 That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am who I say I am, you will die in your sins.”
DIE
Everyone will die if the Lord tarries. Everyone that has asked Jesus to save them has been saved. Know that the Lord loves you and if He delays His return we will all die one day but we will not be alone and Jesus raises us from the dead. He is Lord of all.

NOVEMBER 30 – NOW

11/30 John 8:20-22
Jesus made these statements while he was teaching in the section of the Temple known as the Treasury. But he was not arrested, because his time had not yet come. 21 Later Jesus said to them again, “I am going away. You will search for me and die in your sin. You cannot come where I am going.” 22 The Jewish leaders asked, “Is he planning to commit suicide? What does he mean, ‘You cannot come where I am going’?”
NOW
Now is the time to follow Jesus. Now is the time to know Him. Seek Him when you can for tomorrow never comes.

NOVEMBER 29 – KNOW

11/29 John 8:18-19
I am one witness, and my Father who sent me is the other.” 19 “Where is your father?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Since you don’t know who I am, you don’t know who my Father is. If you knew me, then you would know my Father, too.”
KNOW
We are called to know the Lord. He is seeking you. He wants to spend time with you to fellowship with you.
