The last part of chapter 5 gives us 3 reasons why people dont want to follow Jesus. It is clearly a decision of the will but the choice is made because:

1/ People not no love for God. (Vs 41-43)

2/ More concerned about their reputation. (vs 44)

3/ Intellectual Pride (Vs45-47)

I then give a summary of the chapter where at the start of the chapter Jesus is being accused but by the end of it the table has turn and the religious leaders are told that they will be accused by Moses as He prophecied about Jesus coming and they refuse to believe Moses words. (Vs 45-47)

Trust this message will deepen your faith in Jesus. God bless. Pastor John

Back in Bible times as is the case now, at times, people need to vouch for your Character and the need prove that you are and have done as you say you have. For Jesus that was a little bit harder as He came from Heaven and took on flesh. As John writes in Chapter 1 that God became flesh and dwelt amongst us. How do you prove that credential.

Well in this passage He was able to give 3.

1/ John the Baptist testified about Him. 2/ The miracles that He did 3/ The scriptures clearly testify about His coming. In which i finish with 44 prophecies that came true in Jesus first coming.... There are more.

Trust this will strengthen your faith in Jesus as you listen to this message.

3 Times Jesus says Most assuredly in Verses 19,24 and 25. It means Amen. It means its true. Its a reality. The disciples are going to be amazed at what they see. Not only healings but people raised from the dead. Including Himself. In John 14:12 Jesus makes the statement to His followers that they too will do miraculous things.

Ultimately, in Jesus there is life and as He came to this earth went through all the challenges of this life and did not sin he has the right to judge all people.

Trust you will take to heart these challenging words of Jesus and follow Him. He gives life!
