----UNWAVERING FAITH~~

-"Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him,
-"So shall your offspring be." --(ROMANS 4:18)--

--WHEN Abraham was a young man, God invited him to leave his home and travel to the land God said He would show him. Inexplicably, Abraham packed up and moved. Decades came and went, and Abraham and Sarah still had not had the children God had promised them. God said, "I will see that My promise is worked out in your life," and Abraham believed Him.

It's one thing to talk about faith when your life seems to be heading toward the conclusion you want. But to trust God when your life seems to be headed in the other direction is a difficult place. Unwavering faith does not just happen. It is built up in us as we consistently exercise faith in God's promises.~

-"Heavenly Father, I want to be absolutely unwavering in my belief in Your power to accomplish Your purposes in my life. Help me to stand firmly on the fact that You do not move, that Your love for me is constant, that You have the power to do everything You have promised. Even as Your promises were to Abraham, You never change. Thank You, Lord, that You are the same yesterday and today and forever. In Jesus Name. amen~ " ~~

--JOHN CHAPTER 8 --(JESUS'S WORDS / IN RED)
--[Jesus's conversation with the Pharisees. = Please read ALL of JOHN Chapter 8 ]--

(VS 12-30 selected verses) Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life. Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
.
"You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone. But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me, [are One].

"Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true. I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me testifies about Me."

You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."

I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.

"You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.
"Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

[So they were asking to Him "Who are You?"] Jesus said to them, "What have I been saying to you from the beginning?
"I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."

[They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.]
So Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.
"And He who sent Me is with Me; and He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to My Father."

(VS.30) 'As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.'

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, (Vs. 31-32) - "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
----------
**If you are reading this and have not yet received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, please say a prayer of repentance and confession. Ask the Lord Jesus to come into your heart (life). He never turns away a sincere seeker. Jesus loves you. No matter what you may have done in your life, if you ask Jesus to forgive you and repent, He will forgive and accept you.
"That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. "Whoever will call on the Name of the LORD will be saved." --[Romans Chapter 10: 9,10,13]
-[JESUS IS IN THE LINEAGE OF ABRAHAM-(See Matthew Chapter 1]

---BEFORE ABRAHAM ~~

-'Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly,
I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
--(John 8:57-58 / NKJV)

--IN TODAY'S verses, Jesus makes the ultimate claim. He uses the phrase "I AM"--a phrase the Jews would have been familiar with as meaning, "Even from everlasting to everlasting," This is a direct answer to the objection of the Jews, and shows how much greater He was than Abraham."

You've probably encountered political correctness in your office or at school. If so, you've heard coworkers or classmates make the claim that all paths lead to Heaven, no matter the belief system. But as soon as you point out that Jesus claims to be God in the flesh, many will accuse you of being intolerant. Proclaim it anyway. Be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves as you do so.

Jesus has indeed always existed, distinct from yet one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. And He is the only way to Heaven (John 14:6). Hold on to those truths. ~~

--"LORD, many people are resistant to the Gospel, so what I encounter on a regular basis is nothing new. I believe that Jesus is the great I AM, and I'm willing to continue to push against a culture that believes otherwise. Help me, to point others to You, the only Faithful One, in the Name above all other names, JESUS CHRIST." ~~

-THE TRIUMPH OF FAITH~~
-[Please read all of Hebrews Chapter 11]

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
For by it the men of old gained approval.
By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made
out of things which are visible.--

"By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance;
and he went out, not knowing where he was going.
"By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow
heirs of the same promise; for he was looking for the city which has foundation, whose architect and builder is God.

"By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him
faithful who had promised.
Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants as the stars of Heaven
in number, and innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.
"[All] of these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the
earth.
For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. And indeed if they had been thinking
of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.

"But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He
has prepared a city for them.
"By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only
begotten son;
It was he to whom it was said, "IN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED." -(Genesis 21:12)

He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type.
And [all these], having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised, because God had provided
something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect."

the Lamb you saved the Son of Abraham. Your most awesome work was done through the frailty of Your Son.' ]

-[Matthew 1:1] "The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham."
"So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah (Jesus), fourteen generation.--[VS. 17] -

--'What Does It Mean that Jesus is the Son of David?'

**Answer: Seventeen verses in the New Testament describe Jesus as the “son of David.” But the question arises, how could Jesus be the son of David if David lived approximately 1,000 years before Jesus? The answer is that Christ (the Messiah) was the fulfillment of the prophecy of the seed of David (2 Samuel 7:12–16). Jesus is the promised Messiah, which means He had to be of the lineage of David. Matthew 1 gives the genealogical proof that Jesus, in His humanity, was a direct descendant of Abraham and David through Joseph, Jesus’ legal father. The genealogy in Luke 3 traces Jesus’ lineage through His mother, Mary. Jesus is a descendant of David by adoption through Joseph and by blood through Mary. “As to his earthly life [Christ Jesus] was a descendant of David” (Romans 1:3).

Primarily, the title “Son of David” is more than a statement of physical genealogy. It is a Messianic title. When people referred to Jesus as the Son of David, they meant that He was the long-awaited Deliverer, the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies.

Jesus was addressed as “Lord, thou son of David” several times by people who, by faith, were seeking mercy or healing. The woman whose daughter was being tormented by a demon (Matthew 15:22) and the two blind men by the wayside (Matthew 20:30) all cried out to the Son of David for help. The titles of honor they gave Him declared their faith in Him. Calling Him “Lord” expressed their sense of His deity, dominion, and power, and calling Him “Son of David,” expressed their faith that He was the Messiah.

The Pharisees understood exactly what the people meant when they called Jesus “Son of David.” But, unlike those who cried out in faith, the Pharisees were so blinded by their own pride that they couldn’t see what the blind beggars could see—that here was the Messiah they had supposedly been waiting for all their lives. They hated Jesus because He wouldn’t give them the honor they thought they deserved, so when they heard the people hailing Jesus as the Savior, they became enraged (Matthew 21:15) and plotted to destroy Him (Luke 19:47).

Jesus further confounded the scribes and Pharisees by asking them to explain the meaning of this very title: how could it be that the Messiah is the son of David when David himself refers to Him as “my Lord” (Mark 12:35–37; cf. Psalm 110:1)? The teachers of the Law couldn’t answer the question. Jesus thereby exposed the Jewish leaders’ ineptitude as teachers and their ignorance of what the Old Testament taught as to the true nature of the Messiah, further alienating them from Him.

Jesus’ point in asking the question of Mark 12:35 was that the Messiah is more than the physical son of David. If He is David’s Lord, He must be greater than David. As Jesus says in Revelation 22:16, “I am the Root and the Offspring of David.” That is, He is both the Creator of David and the Descendant of David. Only the Son of God made flesh could say that.
[As we read on in [Matthew 1:18-25; 2:1-6] - Jesus being born of the Virgin Mary. Mary had not been with a man. The Holy Spirit had overshadowed Mary and she bear the Son of God, Jesus. (Read Luke 1:26-38).~~ "For nothing will be impossible with God." (Luke 1:37)]
