John 5:31 “If I
bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. 32 There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the
witness which He witnesses of Me is true. 33 You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things
that you may be saved. 35 He was
the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his
light. 36 But I
have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me
to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent
Me. 37 And the
Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You
have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. 38 (1).But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. 39 (2).You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal
life; and these are they which (3).testify of Me. 40 But you are
not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
41 “I do not receive honor from men. 42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if
another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44 How can you believe, (4).who receive
honor from one another, and do
not seek the honor that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in
whom you trust. 46 For if
you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47 (5).But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My
words?”
5 points on
this passage
- We are supposed to be living epistles. Even more so now Pentecost has happened. The bible is a mirror for a spirit filled person it is not a text book for life.
clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written
not with ink but by the Spirit of the living
God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
We are written not with
ink but by the Spirit of the living God. No longer do we learn about Christ
through law we are revealed in Christ as co-joined with Him. While the
religious struggle with this and see it as sac religious just like Jesus
talking in this passage in John. He reveals the fact if we place our lives in
the bible we are misguided. Offensive yes but only to the religious, atheists
and the people of this world are having bible become who they are. Imagine
their quandary when they find out the bible is writing about their life. Of
course then they surrender to Spirit by natural progression of the love of God
not by someone giving them knowledge of the bible.
The religious would say
how do they hear without a preacher. The Holy Spirit church says “It is not
what I do it’s who I am,” spirit and truth as the bible says. Spirit teaching
is like a refreshing drink on a hot day to the heart of men.
5. Even then we have
supernovas in the bible. Passages we explain away and churchianity folks are
blocked from the truth, as they are residing in their carnal nature for
enlightenment. Passages like 1 John 3 where it says if you sin you have not
seen God. Listen to the weak attempts of carnal ministers to explain such.
This is a supernova verse a gateway to the eternal in God impossible to
rationalize.
