Chapter 3: [Truth] John 14 Study Begins...

[Truth]

John 14: 1-7

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.  In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am there you may be also.  And where I go you know, and the way you know.  Thomas said to Him, ‘Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?’  Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.  If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

“So.  Ok.  Enterprising Crew.  You will often hear me referring to John 14: 6.  Jesus is the Way.  Jesus is the Truth.  Jesus is the Life.  To know Jesus is the Way.  The Word is Truth.  The Word was in the beginning with God and the Word was God, so through the Word we find the Way.  Jesus.  Make sense?

Let not your heart be troubled when someone believes in you.  We might be the only Christians a Marxist zombie has ever seen.  Now, it’s always important to remember you never know who is a Marxist zombie.  Which works out fine because we’re taught in James 2 not to have partiality.  A man is a man is a man and a woman is a woman is woman.  The Scripture says to preach to all of creation and each man or woman is part.  Including aliens.  And those costume wearing ones too.  Scripture is pretty clear.  Jesus is pretty clear.  Make disciples of all nations.

Anyway.  There are some typical Marxist zombie archetypes that can be used to discern a zombie.  But the end goal is not to look with our eyes, but instead weigh their fruits.  In love.  You will be out gunned for most Marxist zombies you run into after following our study for, like, a week.  Most Marxist zombies are like most professing Christians and have hardly any clue what they believe or why.  Just remember.

Hebrews 4: 12-13

“For the Word of God is living an powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”

As far as I can tell, Jesus reserves the Sword of His mouth for the churches in Revelation.  And even then we don’t know if He ever used it.

Now.  Challenging thought for the day.  Have you considered praying for the past?  Does not God hear our prayers outside of time?  There are all kinds of times outside of recorded Scripture that Jesus could use our timeless prayers for.  Something to think about at least.

Let’s start there today.

Moose out.”
