あらすじ・解説
- We all come to life with an earthly heritage which defines us to some degree. But our earthly heritage is not what will ultimately define us.
- Our spiritual heritage will, and we get to choose what that will be!
- Setting the context for our passage:
- In last week’s passage Jesus confronted with the Jews with the fact He knew they were planning to murder Him. But they don’t even recognize they are being called out!
- Instead, they double down on trying to elevate “their” truth above “THE” truth.
- So, Jesus decided to change His tactics…
- Verse 39- “IF… you are children of Abraham…”
- So, Jesus decided to change His tactics…
- Instead, they double down on trying to elevate “their” truth above “THE” truth.
- In last week’s passage Jesus confronted with the Jews with the fact He knew they were planning to murder Him. But they don’t even recognize they are being called out!
- In verse 43 Jesus asks a rhetorical question: “Why don’t you understand what I say?”
- He then answers His own question: “Because you can’t bear to hear my words!”
- Why????
- He then answers His own question: “Because you can’t bear to hear my words!”
- In verse 44 Jesus tells them why: “Because you are of your father the devil, and you will do what your father desires.”
- Is this too harsh? Did the Jews choose the devil as their spiritual father?
When a person does not choose Jesus, they by default, do not choose God!
- But you have to choose something!
- Not choosing is to choose the devil as your spiritual father.
- Who do you choose???
- Not choosing is to choose the devil as your spiritual father.
- But you have to choose something!
