-
You're listening to a message to go from Extrich. We hope this message will
-
light up your team today. I will. I'm gonna talk from I'm gonna
-
speak from the Book of John chapter five. All right, So Book with
-
John is a title here. Do you really want to be healed? Do
-
you really want to be healed? Okay, so that's the question there.
-
Let's start with Versus one to three we're gonna read. Okay, So all
-
right, let's look at this John five one to three. After this there
-
was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now
-
there is there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool in Aramaic a
-
form of language, all right, called batista, which has five roofed colonnades.
-
In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, and paralyzed.
-
When I first read the words like, well, some sounds really bad
-
to call someone that invalids, But that's that's that's also a medical term.
-
But basically it just means people who can't function as as normal. So because
-
they're blind, you know, so they need extra help. They can't walk,
-
they can't move something, something is not functioning okay, so but they
-
lay a multitude, right. Did you notice that there's a lot of them
-
there at this place, uh, in this pool here called Bethesta all right.
-
Uh Now, when I read this, all right, how I relate
-
to this is, um, you know, there are a lot of people
-
who are also unwell, not just you know, physically, but you know
-
it was spiritually right, many there are many blind spiritually, there are many
-
who are paralyzed spiritually, right, and also you know they can't function spiritually
-
the way they should be functioning. All right. Uh And so this is
-
how I I saw that when I read this, and you know, as
-
I believe, the Holy Spirit led me in getting this message. So uh
-
now I just want to talk a little bit about let me see, but
-
there's the maybe just talk a little bit about that name. But that's that
-
word actually means house of mercy, house of mercy, house of grace.
-
It sounds like a good place, all right. That's why they're there,
-
and they're like looking for something. They're there, the multitudes of them,
-
many of them, right, They are not well and they are there.
-
This place is called house of mercy, to look for something, for some
-
mercy, for some blessing. But you know, I when I read the
-
meaning of the word, but testa right. Funnily, there's the opposite meaning
-
or meaning. No, sorry, not opposite, but there's another meaning.
-
But I don't know how it works out. Sometimes the language it works this
-
way. It also means for some reason, it also means shame, shame,
-
and disgrace. So okay, Like like I said, I don't understand
-
how that language works, but it also means shame and disgrace. So um,
-
these guys are going to this place hoping for something, looking for something,
-
and as we read on, we realize there is, uh, there
-
is a They believe that what happens in this pool is that there's somehow there's
-
this stirring of the pool that happens, and they believe it's an angel stirring
-
it. And then when you see that happen, you've got to kind of
-
jump in there and then you can receive power of healing and then you can
-
be blessed that way otherwise, meaning what I understand from this is when the
-
pool is not stirred and then there's a miracle, you're going there, You're
-
just you know, swimming in the pool, all right, so that's why
-
I understand. So it's like like a rare moment of waiting for that stirring
-
to happen, and there's so many of them, and so only a few
-
people get this blessing apparently. All right, So anyway, um so now
-
we move on. We move on, and you see, as you realize,
-
you realize this, it's quite interesting. Look at this right verse one,
-
two, three, verse four. It's not here. It's not my
-
mistake. It's not a mistake. On the slide right there's it's three,
-
then no, four, then five. Then I also got interested and I
-
go like, what's going on? And then apparently it's like fifty to fifty
-
Some manuscripts some some documents don't have verse four. Apparently it was included,
-
and it talks about some angels stirring the thing, you know, so uh,
-
I mean possibly what it means is that thing is maybe maybe it actually
-
happens or works. So that's why some scriptures just remove that part and say
-
this is the story. Actually there's this pool. I don't know exactly what
-
happens, all right, but people think about this pool being stirred by angels
-
and then they jump in and get healed. So it's like, maybe like
-
what's the word for it, superstition could be okay, but never mind,
-
all right, just leave it there because I found it interesting. Away it
-
was four is there now? Then verse five says that, yeah, oh
-
come on, sorry, sorry, just not The previous slide was oh,
-
oh okay, I'm okay, go next light, the next right, all
-
right. So one man was there who had been in a valid for thirty
-
eight years. Thirty eight years, all right, I'm like forty plus years
-
old. Now if I think back from when I was born until now,
-
there's a long time. And someone who has been there who I don't know
-
what his real problem was, maybe couldn't move right for thirty eight years.
-
That's a very long time. I tell your neighbor that very long, very
-
long. It's been a long time. This guy has been there, sitting
-
there so uh and waiting. So now the question here is, you know,
-
could it be you know, how many of us here maybe we've been
-
waiting and waiting for something to happen in our lives and it's been a long
-
time, all right, some of us, you know, maybe we have
-
a belief on something of how things work, and then we were hoping that
-
something changes and some miracle happens in our lives from this faith that we have
-
on whatever it is. Could it be the wrong place that we're waiting?
-
Just like this guy, he went to this place thinking he's hearing whatever.
-
Maybe he heard a rumor, he heard some story that this happens, and
-
he's there. But for thirty eight years he's been there, not thing has
-
happened to him. But he still believes that's a good thing. He believes.
-
But are we believing the right thing? Are we believing in the right
-
thing? Are we had the Are we at the right place all right to
-
receive our breakthrough? And so many of us maybe I've been waiting. I'm
-
just thinking about, for example, maybe some things you've been doing, even
-
in church, you've been doing it for a long time, and you thought
-
that's the way I have been doing it. Maybe that's how I should be
-
doing it. All right, But it's good to just kind of just ask
-
the question, am I doing the right thing? Am I at the right
-
place? All right? Am I actually really seeking God? Or am I
-
just doing stuff and it's actually not what God wants us to do? All
-
right? All Right? I'm thinking of let's say even something like discipleship,
-
discipleship. Maybe you have a fixed idea of what discipleship is, and so
-
you're expecting this, this, this to happen, and maybe the leader's not
-
doing that, and then you go like, man, see I'm not getting
-
discipleship, but it is that how God wants you to have discipleship, all
-
right, and so uh, same same thing right with this guy. Right,
-
he's just sitting there, he's just waiting, he's laying down. There
-
are many other maybe other examples, but let's move on and then we'll see.
-
You know, I believe the Lord is going to show you and reveal
-
to us some of these things that we've been sitting around waiting. Maybe we're
-
down and it's discouraging and we've been waiting there for a long time. Okay,
-
let's move on. Let's move on verse six six to seven. Okay,
-
when Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there
-
a long time, if you if you notice, I highlighted the words again.
-
All right, so the children, you know, know what to write.
-
You can write the highlighted words. Okay. So right, Jesus saw
-
him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time.
-
Pause that first, Jesus sees. Jesus saw, and Jesus knows. Jesus
-
knew, that knows that you are waiting there for a long time, all
-
right, Jesus sees what you're doing. Jesus knows. And then he said,
-
he said to him, do you want to be healed? What a
-
strange question to ask a guy who has been sitting there for thirty eight years
-
in this pool, believing that I'm going to get healed? Do you want
-
to be healed? W's like, obviously I'm here thirty eight years, won't
-
be healer, all right, But Jesus still asks a question, because he's
-
actually really asking the question, do you actually really want to be healed?
-
The sick man answered him, and he said, he doesn't say yes,
-
sir, right he gives he talks, Sir. I have no one to
-
put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I
-
am going, another steps down before me, spoorting Lord, I can't right,
-
no one is helping me to get in there, and and then whenever
-
I'm just about to, then someone else goes in. Every time for thirty
-
eight years. Can you believe that for thirty eight years? Can't? Can
-
it be that every time he's about to and then someone steps in, all
-
right, hello, hello, all right, So this is what you know.
-
I X church. Ow. We're trying to work with this, all
-
right. I know it doesn't it sounds very stronger, but first were like,
-
but it is the word that you know. Past kinda shouts excuse proof
-
church, excuse proof church. All right, okay, no saying, no
-
one helping me? Lah, all right. Every time I want to then
-
someone else go first. Right, I want to talk to pasta Jack,
-
but then every time he's so busy, someone else talk to him first.
-
Oh right, I'm talking about right, so uh and and and no one
-
is helping me here in this church, all right. So I'm just saying
-
I know they're trying to relate it to this, and so we want to
-
be an excuse proof church, all right. And so that's why Jesus asked,
-
do you really want to be healed? Because you know what it means
-
when you are actually healed, mentioning this guy is always lying down there for
-
three eight years. Does he do anything? He doesn't do anything. He
-
doesn't need to work, all right, maybe food or so someone brings it
-
to him, all right, he will just say, hey, give me
-
the food, give me the food, right, whatever it is, and
-
he doesn't do anything. But you know, when you know, for three
-
eight years, if he actually gets healed, you know what he needs to
-
do now he needs to walk. Now, he needs to walk, and
-
now he needs to get his own food. Now he needs to work,
-
right, and he has to change. His life has to change. And
-
so that's why the question is do you really want to be healed, because
-
now you've got to work? And so maybe half thinking like, actually,
-
maybe it is nice to be just lying down here because someone else always bringing
-
something for me, you know, I you know, I don't need to
-
work, and you know the mid donations, I mean it's not much,
-
not donations, but I still get some, you know. So maybe half
-
of his mind is like, it's okay, Actually it's not too bad a
-
life laying down being carried around. Right. The other interesting thing I'm thinking
-
about this this I always thought when I read this that this guy has been
-
lying there for three eight years. But you know, it's impossible to live,
-
to still be alive, you just lie down there for thirty eight years.
-
Obviously he eats something. Obviously he I you know, I don't know,
-
maybe he does go to toilet or whatever. It is, so all
-
right, and i' mean doing some reading. Also according to you know,
-
just scholars are you know, they're thinking this guy definitely gets help from friends,
-
and so possible that he gets carried to this place kind of like regularly
-
because he said, okay, bring me there. Now, I need to
-
go to the pool to receive my thing, all right, and so some
-
friends, maybe like kind hunter people come and help him and bring him there,
-
and so he gets you know, he travels, he goes back and
-
forth kind of thing. He doesn't just lay there for three eight years.
-
It's impossible. He's still alive, all right. So the fact that he's
-
still alive or three eight years means that he gets some help, all right.
-
But somehow the friend doesn't help him jump into the water. Okay,
-
they help him like that, say okay, okay, okay, all right,
-
continue to stay there, all right, hopefully you jump in out today.
-
Hopefully you jump in today. But gay bye bye. It's kind of
-
strange, you know, So it's like, uh, yeah, so that's
-
what I'm imagining. All right, he gets some help, but I'll talk
-
about that later. So the question is, are you sure you want to
-
be healed? Are usual sure you want your breakthrough? Are you sure you
-
want discipleship? Are you sure you want to serve? Because when you serve,
-
it's not easy. When you serve, you gotta wake up earlier.
-
When you serve, you gotta pay transport Kevin. Kevin went to Chrust last
-
week all by himself, right, of course, Ellen or foot to say,
-
I want to provide transport. But you know, in this church,
-
we also have this culture when a girl and a guy all right, I'm
-
gonna go to travel together. We try not to okay, no risk and
-
stay here? Can still here? Right? Can stay here? Okay?
-
All right? So we try not too loud, you know, too much
-
time in the car alone, especially not married. You know kind of think
-
that. So so we did you say, elin, chill, all right,
-
chill? Then ask Kevin you're okay, You're okay? It is it?
-
Okay? How are you gonna go? He said, grab, okay,
-
well done. That's worship went to the lot anyway. So what I'm
-
saying is you sure you want to serve? You're sure you want to worship,
-
You're sure you want to be well, you want to have a breakthrough,
-
because when you get a breakthrough, there's something waiting for you. There's
-
something waiting for you, you know, as as as in exoderst you know
-
when when Moses goes to Pharaoh, he says, he'll say to Pharaoh,
-
let my people go, let them have let them be free. It doesn't
-
stop there. It's not let them be free, free, free, free,
-
let the fly fly fly fly, whoa freedom everything so nice. It's
-
not that it's let my people go to worship the Lord. Let my people
-
go to serve the Lord, meaning because they're serving you, Pharaoh, that's
-
not right. Let them go to serve the true God instead. So it's
-
actually not freedom and flying around roaming. It's not that, it's actually freedom
-
to serve, freedom to do something. So the same thing here, you
-
really want to have a breakthrough. The breakthrough then comes with are you ready
-
to serve? Then? Are you ready to work? Are you ready to
-
walk? All right? So that's the that's the thing I'm catching from this.
-
Amen. So now verse seven, yeah, I really read it it.
-
Oh yeah, sorry, just want to focus on verse seven, a
-
little bit more, all right, Okay, uh, look at this,
-
we say, excuse proof, right, but you know it's it's a strange
-
thing, but it happens to us as well. Sometimes we come to Jesus
-
with our own answers. All right, Jesus asked, very directly, do
-
you want to be healed? And then sometimes we come to him and we
-
say, you know this, this this is We have our own answers to
-
him. So just just just looking at that for a moment. Okay,
-
now verse eight, verse eight, first next, next lightning. Okay,
-
all right, then Jesus answers and Jesus. I love Jesus. He's direct.
-
He gives it to us, all right, and I'm learning to be
-
like him a bit more. Give it, give it straight, all right.
-
Is Jesus said to him get up, Everyone say, get up,
-
get up, okay, get up, take your bed and walk. That's
-
his very direct instruction, all right. He doesn't say, oh, poor
-
thing, poor thing, nobody help you. Huh, poor thing, nobody.
-
You know, every time you go then someone goes first, poor thing.
-
He doesn't go there, just get up, take your bid and walk.
-
All right. Wow. I love that. And of course he is
-
the son of God. He's able to do a miracle and heal. But
-
actually the message in his words here, I'm more powerful, I'm more important.
-
It's about get up, take your bed and walk. Now. I'm
-
gonna tell you a little bit, uh, a bit of a story here,
-
all right. I I you know, I I work in a school,
-
all right, and I talked to young people and sometimes you know what
-
I face is, um uh you know it's young young people, all right,
-
Uh, some some young Some of the young people they love to uh
-
be supportive to their friends. It's a good thing, right. For example,
-
if they bring something illegal and then they support their friends. No,
-
no, you didn't bring defending the friends. Okay, there's not that's not
-
what that's happening. I'm just giving you an example, okay, all right.
-
And so these kind of things like um uh supporting their friends. So
-
recently talk to somebody and uh they were telling me, um, well,
-
uh, there there are people in the school, you know. There they
-
are discouraged, they're down, you know, they are feeling sad and they
-
have the challenges and so but then then they are they are this supportive friends.
-
Supportive friends. It's not a bad thing. Right. We love supportive
-
friends. But what did what did they do? They support them and go
-
like it's okay, right, don't worry if we understand you. Uh and
-
and and uh you know. So so when they do like that, it's
-
like encouraging them and say carry on, carry on this way, it's okay
-
and so um and uh. You know, when I speak to them,
-
I say, you know, actually, maybe maybe maybe people like this need
-
a friend who can tell them something else. You know, I have friends
-
who are you know, I just remember a friend of mine, right,
-
Uh, maybe I've told this before. You know. One time I was
-
standing around, you know, and with this friend of waiting, few few
-
friends together, waiting for the lift, and uh, I you know,
-
we see rubbish on the floor stay, you know, because there's a trash
-
can there. And when the rubbish is outside of the trash can, it's
-
pretty normal, isn't it. So I just left it there, I know,
-
like it's like, okay, it's fine. I mean, someone's gonna
-
put it in, or the people in charge you're going to clear it whatever.
-
So we just stand and left it there. But this other friend comes
-
picks up the rubbish throws it in the bin and I go like, I
-
feel embarrassed, like because like, oh, okay, it wasn't me.
-
And so I saw that and and and they said, wow, why did
-
you do that? And said, who's gonna do it if you do if
-
you don't do it right? And I feel like sometimes you need a friend
-
like that who will do the right thing and not just be like everyone else.
-
I had a friend once, or so, you know, I was.
-
I was kind of like not a nice guy, laugh all right,
-
I like to push people around and things like that. I'll bit bossy.
-
And so everyone was gathering and everyone was talking about me behind my back.
-
But then this one guy comes to me and calls me into the room,
-
and I was he's bigger than me, you know, older than me.
-
I was afraid. And then like, what's going on? And this guy
-
tells me, you know a lot of people are gossiping about you and saying
-
bad things about you, and I just want to tell you straight up front,
-
you're being a very bossy person. I didn't like it. I hated
-
it. I was so angry. I said, I'm never going to be
-
friends with any of you anymore. I walked away. But but then as
-
I thought about it, and as God, I guess, did his work
-
in me. I actually appreciated that that someone actually told me what I needed
-
to hear, not not so much what I want to feel. Right.
-
He could have been like, hey, you're you're you're bossy, but it's
-
okay, carry on. You know, everyone is different, it's okay,
-
let's accept one another kind of thing. But that guy didn't do that.
-
He said, like, you're being a bossy person. People don't like you,
-
they're gossiping about you. Yeah, I just want to tell you that
-
stunned. But you know, that spoke to me so clearly and so loudly,
-
and that changed my life. It changed my life, all right.
-
So I'm just saying, you know, rather than this guy's hanging around a
-
multitude of invalids, right and probably they're all the same, and you go
-
like, it's okay, it's okay, we're all the same. You like
-
that, right, But then Jesus comes and says, stop it, man,
-
get up, take up that bed, don't lie down anymore. It's
-
been thirty eight years. You haven't got any healing. Get up, all
-
right. And he's the one who heals. He's the one who heals a
-
man. All right, hallelujah, praise God. So are you ready?
-
Are you ready for the breakthrough? Asked your neighbor, are you are you
-
ready for a breakthrough? Asked them? Are you sure? Because after this
-
you got to work. After this, you got to serve. After he's
-
got to wake up earlier. After this, after he's gonna pay a bit
-
more money too, for your transport, for your clothes, for your new
-
traditional clothes, after this, all right, after he's gonna talk to your
-
children differently. All right, okay, hallelujah. But you know what,
-
God is good, and with Jesus we can. With Jesus we can.
-
All right, let's move on. Let's move on now. Uh yeah,
-
well, okay, right verse nine. And at once the man was healed.
-
Hallelujah. Jesus can do this. Only Jesus can heal immediately. And
-
once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
-
Now that day was the sabbath, all right, So he did that.
-
And of course, you know, on the Sabbath in those days, there's
-
this man made rule that you cannot do anything on the sabbath, including take
-
up your bed. So that irked a lot of people, and they've got
-
blinded by the healing. They didn't even look at the healing anymore. They
-
just bothered about why is this men walking around and carrying the bid? Okay,
-
So there are going to be people who will be against you, who
-
who will go against what God is doing in your life, and that's all
-
right, that's all right, okay, but let's continue to focus on Jesus.
-
Let's focus on what God wants us to do. Now. Now,
-
let me see, so Jesus truly heals. You see, I looked at
-
it and I realized, Wow, you know that pool is actually like stagnant
-
water or maybe yeah, I don't know how it works, but it's it's
-
a pooler, all right. And it only works when there's some stirring,
-
apparently by some angel. And that's rare, okay, and that that means
-
only once in a while some people get some blessing. But you know,
-
Jesus, he's not a stagnant pool of water. He is called the living
-
water, all right. And we just read in the previous chapter. If
-
you realize that previous chapter was the woman right at the well and Jesus says,
-
I will give you living water. Amen. So who you want?
-
You want a stagnant pool or do you want living water? All right?
-
If you've been sitting there waiting at the stagnant pool thinking you're gonna get your
-
miracle, your breakthrough, right, that's the wrong place. We need to
-
look to the one who gives the living water. Who is Jesus. So
-
let's remember come back to Jesus, all right. You know, even at
-
period time here, I was just reminded. You know, sometimes you see
-
the leaders coming up, and then the chapter and say, you know,
-
come the leaders are here, and then looks a bit awkward sometimes and then
-
everyone's like, who do I choose? Let's be like Netflix here, and
-
who do I choose to come to pray? Hey, hello, you're not
-
coming to anyone out here who is a human to pray. You're actually coming
-
to Jesus. Come to Jesus first, So don't bother about the people here.
-
Actually, you know what, when you come up to pray, just
-
come up to pray, all right, And then leaders we go and pray.
-
It's not that they're coming to you and choosing you because you are.
-
You know, you look better or you're dressed up, your smell better,
-
all right, or you pray better. It's you are there. You are
-
here, standing here, you're serving, ready to pray, all right.
-
But when you come up to pray, remember you're coming to Jesus, not
-
a stagnant pool of water. You're coming to the living water to receive your
-
breakthrough. And then and our leaders here are here to represent, to come
-
and serve and pray. All right. So you just want to remind us
-
when there's prayer time, all right, don't think about who is standing there.
-
Even if there's no one standing here, you're coming up. You're saying
-
come, and you want to come and pray. You come and pray,
-
all right, and seek God because you're going through something, right, you're
-
going through a challenge. Then let's seek God. Let's humble their hearts and
-
come and seek God for it, and let's see a breakthrough happen. Amen.
-
So um amen, So no statement pool. We're here for the living
-
water Jesus. Amen. A right, Tell your tell your water blood,
-
sorry, tell you tell your neighbor. I'm here for living water. Amen.
-
All right. Now I'm gonna come to this place where I'm gonna call
-
some children up here. We're gonna read, Okay, we're gonna read.
-
We're gonna jump to verse eighteen. All right, it's it's not yeah,
-
it's not. Yeah, it's not really. Oh okay, sorry miss one
-
thing here right, look at verse fourteen for a while. Uh So the
-
guy got healed, and there was some drama happening, all right with the
-
Pharisees. They didn't like what's going on. But a long story shot is
-
that when Jesus met the guy again, you know what he tells him,
-
See you are well, Sit no more, that nothing worse may happen to
-
you. You know I was telling you about Jesus loves to make disciples.
-
He makes more disciples than anything. All right, same thing here when he
-
meets the guy. You know what he does first, he makes disciples.
-
He's like, say, stop sitting, sit no more, all right,
-
because you're healed now, go and work. Stop lying around, right,
-
go and do something. Sit no more, that nothing worse may happen to
-
you. All right. So Jesus is always making disciples, and so let's
-
let's follow his lead and also do like that. You know, when we
-
speak to our children, we're making disciples of them. We're speaking into their
-
lives, you know. Uh, you know, even when when coming to
-
church. When coming to church, right, I know, you know things
-
are not perfect yet, no expectation to make it all perfect yet. But
-
you know, I was just imagining. You know. Uh. Sometimes you
-
know, when I see my kids not behaving, sometimes the flesh right will
-
say like stop it or whatever? Right, I just and and but then
-
I you know, I'm inspired to what I want to do is now I
-
want to speak to them instead. So just now, you know, I
-
was praying with Matthews. I was you know that Azra was there, and
-
you know, Asra, I speak to them and I say, hey,
-

-
can you help me here? Uh? You know, what what are
-

-
asked Azra that you know what you do here to do? In church?
-
Uh? We're here to worship here, the Word here, the Word of
-
God. Can we try and do that? All? Right? Because you
-
know they're also distracted. They want to play this and then they want to
-
eat something. Right, So I always go like, yeah, I know
-
you can't you want to do that, But what you're here to do?
-

-
And then uh maybe someone like oh they will play my friends and say okay

-
five, twenty six, Jews one, twenty seven, twenty twenty nine,
-
It's very easy, twenty seven, twenty twenty, I'll help you. Ready
-
a ready, ready, listen, Okay, let's do it. This made
-
the Jews try harder to kill him. They said, first Jesus was breaking
-
the law about the Sabbath day. Then he said that God is his own
-
father. He is making himself equal to God. Man. Okay, so
-
Jesus explained, I'll tell you the truth. The sent can do nothing by
-
himself. He does only what he sees the father doing. Whatever the father
-
gets, the son also gets. The father loves the sudden, and the
-
father shows the sad all the things him he himself does. But the father,
-
Father, Father will show the sudden greater things then this to do,
-
then you will be You'll all be amazed. For as just the father gives
-
life to those that he raises from the dead, so the son gives life
-
to anyone he wants. Moreover, the father judges the son. Moreover,
-
the father judges no one, but hasn't trusted all judgment to the son.
-
They 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.
-
Everly, Everly, I say unto you, he that heriff my word,
-
and believe it on him that sent me had everlasting life and shall not come
-
into condemnation, but is passed from dead into life. I tell you the
-
truth. The time is coming, and it is already here. When we
-
when the dead, when the Dad will hear the voice of the Son of
-
God, and those who hear will have life. The Father has the power
-
to give life, and he has given that same power to the son right
-
and hath given him authority to execute judgment. Also because he's the son of
-
men horrible. And for the hours coming in a way, while are in
-
a great show here his voice and shall come forth. They had Data have
-
done onto the resturrection of life, and Data have done ajo onto the restoration
-
of the nation. Correct. Oh, thank you all right, all right,
-
stay stay, stay, stay for a while. Children, thank you
-
for stay reading. We stay for a while all right. Now, okay,
-
so what we read just now is is UH talking about Jesus talking about
-
Jesus. All right, Let's go back again to verse eighteen here, just
-
to emphasize this. Jesus, he himself is talking. All right. He's
-
equal with God. If you didn't know that, we should know this.
-
He's equal with God. First nineteen. He does only what he sees the
-
Father doing. He doesn't do his own thing, all right. He sees
-
what the Father does, and he does the same thing. They are united.
-
The Father loves him and shows him all the Father loves him, and
-
he loves the Father, and he knows all things the Father does. He
-
gives life. Jesus gives life. If you want life, come to Jesus.
-
He gives life. Next. Amen. All right. He will judge,
-
all right, He is the ultimate judge in the end. All right.
-
So we want to we want to be on his good side. We
-
want to be on his side because then he will we will get the good
-
judgment. Amen. And then he is to be honored. Come on,
-
we got to honor Jesus. Amen. All right. Let's not be dishonoring
-
to Jesus. Whoever hears his word and believes as eternal life. Next,
-
hear his word. So here his word, because you want to turn a
-
life. Here his word, and believe. Those who hear his voice will
-
live, all right, those who obey him will live. He has life
-
in himself. Jesus has life in himself. That's a new word. I
-
learned a city. All right, Go and do some research what it is
-
as a word meaning that Jesus does not depend on anyone. Uh, And
-
he does not. He does not need to rely on anyone, although all
-
of us rely on him, all right. And life he has life through
-
himself in him, in himself, all right, he does not need any
-
help twenty seven twenty nine authority to execute judgment. He is the son of
-
man, the son of man, meaning he is the Messiah. He is
-
the savior that has been prophesite long ago, right since the Book of Daniel.
-
The Book of Daniel mentions this is the son of man. He is
-
the Messiah. And he's trying to say, I am that person. I
-
am here, I am here to save a man. All right. Let's
-
give a clap to our children. Yeah, what you have done, children
-
is this is where you are worshiping God by surveying and by reading all right,
-
you can go back to your seats right now. Thank you, well
