Freedom comes from following Jesus not pursuing your own way.

Jn 8 24 “24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” Darkness of Unbelief Rejecting Christ Rely on Our Own Goodness Dark Destiny of Rejecting Jesus Realms Apart Rejection Brings Death Darkness Lifted by Belief in Jesus…

Mystery of the Messiah Ignorant Misunderstanding Is this the Christ? It can’t be the Christ!

As Jesus teaches in the Temple during the Feast of Tabernacles we are reminded we must listen to what Jesus says and not just assume we know Him. If we truly want to know the truth of God we must listen to His words and follow them.

As Jesus prepares to go celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles we learn what this feast was truly about. God dwelling with His people because of Jesus. Jesus is what this feast is celebrating!

After considering Jesus' claim to be the Saviour sent from heaven, how will you respond? Will you turn away finding His conditions unacceptable? Will you recognise that He is all you need and follow Him as a true disciple?

As the bread from Heaven Jesus teaches us why we need Him and how we can have the life He gives. In His words we are encouraged to believe Jesus for salvation, find encouragement in the knowledge that God is working to bring people to salvation and strengthen our faith in the promise that all those whom God saves He keeps.

Jesus came to provide for our deepest need and satisfy us forever. Believing Jesus is the most satisfying thing you can do.
