FRIENDS, SERVANTS, WITNESSES.
As we continue to move through the Gospel of John, we will look at some of its content concerning the teachings of Jesus and some of the stories written therein.
“UNITED TO CHRIST”
Please read John 15:1-5 and verse 27.
These verses speak of our union with JESUS CHRIST.
We are His Branches—verse five.
“I AM THE VINE; YOU ARE THE BRANCHES … WITHOUT ME, YOU CAN DO NOTHING!”
MUST ABIDE IN HIM.
We are His Friends. verse 15.
“YOU AE MY FRIENDS … IF… YOU DO WHATEVER I COMMAND YOU.”
“NO GREATER LOVE Has no man then this tht a man would lay down his life for his friends.” verse 13.
JESUS LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US… EVEN WHEN WE WERE ENEMIES!
We are His Witnesses, So we
SPEAK ABOUT HIM.
Verse 27.
We are Branches, So we,
LIVE IN HIM!
We are Friends, So we,
DELIGHT IN HIM!
We are His Servants, So we serve each other though persecuted we,
WORK FOR HIM.
We are His Witnesses, So we
SPEAK FOR HIM.
Branches, So we,
BARE HIS FRUIT.
As Friends, We DRAW CLOSE TO HIM.
Witnesses. So we, with the help and power of the Holy Spirit, we,
RECOMMEND HIM.
Branches and friends are the Spiritual side of our relationship. That speaks of our union and communion with Him.
The other two, servants and witnesses, are on the practical side of our relationship with Him.
We decide to share the Gospel. The good news of his death and resurrection and Salvation in His name.
We decide to obey his leadership as our Lord.
THE REWARDS!
A Branch will bear fruit 🍇 a harvest of souls! Which will remain.
As a Friend, you will continue to discover the One who dramatically desires your company.
As a Servant you will have the joy of hearing Him say, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”
As a witness. He will say, “Your Reward is great.”
Ask yourself:
Am I “UNITED TO HIM”
Am I “CLOSE TO HIM?”
Am I “FAITHFUL TO HIM?”
Am I a “SOUL WINNER FOR HIM?”
This is bringing Heaven to Earth!! This is the Will of God!
Dear reader, surrender to Jesus and ask Him to change and use you like never before to share the blessed hope of the Gospel of Christ in these final days. That’s what the gospel of John is all about!!
Amen
Help me to continue in this ministry through your financial support. There are many costs for resources, tracts, Bibles and personal needs as the pension though appreciated is insufficient to do all that God has called me to do. Pray about it.
