scripture: john 5:1-5:47

"Jesus can't be ignored—He should be hated or revered." Today most people are indifferent to Jesus. When he walked the earth it wasn't this way. Some devoted their lives to following him; some devoted their lives to killing him. Jesus said and did things that polarized people.

In living life every day for Jesus the challenge is to take it from the study and knowledge of the Bible to living it out and putting it into practice ___ that is what I read must become evident in the way we live with, “His word dwell in you”.

The most important question a person can ask themselves is "Who is Jesus to me?" John 5 gives us a deep insight into who Jesus really is, and why it's so imperative that we each know for ourselves.

“Live Eternally.” John writes his gospel “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” This “life” is Zoe in Greek. It differs from bios life. Zoe life is God’s life. It is the kind of life that lives forever. It never decays. Though originally assumed to be something attainable only in heaven, John dares us to find that life in Jesus today. This is the life God wants us to live, right now. A piece of Himself within us. A bit of heaven on earth before Jesus returns. Eternal life is not merely life after death, but also life before death. — Pastor Brandon
