The Scriptures and the Day the Jesus Told Us

As a Christian the Scriptures and the words of our Great God and Savior Christ Jesus should be considered with the highest regard when a subject arises that needs clarification. Here we see that Jesus makes it clear that he will raise us up on the LAST DAY!

 

 John 6:35-47

35Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.  36"But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.  37"All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.  38"For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.  39"This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.  40"For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."  41Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that came down out of heaven."  42They were saying, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?"  43Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves.  44"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.  45"It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.  46"Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.  47"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM." 

 

Jesus is the light and his light shines in the darkness. Receive and keep his sayings!

 

John 12:35-50
35So Jesus said to them, "For a little while longer the Light is among you Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.  36"While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light " These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.  37But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.  38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?"  39For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,  40"YES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM."  41These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him. 42Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;  43for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.  44And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.  45"He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.  46"I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.  47"If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.  48"He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.  49"For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.  50"I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me."

 

As Jesus makes it clear that he is the resurrection and the life and he will raise us on the last day! It also clear that we will live if we die, and everyone who lives and believes will never die.

 

John 11:23-27
23Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."  24Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."  25Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,  26and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"  27She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world."

 

Jesus made it clear that he was sending us into the world, and that we would be hated for the word that was given to us. He did not ask that we be taken out of the world, but that we would be kept from the evil one.

 

 John 17:13-21
13"But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.  14"I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.  15"I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.  16"They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.  17"Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.  18"As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.  19"For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.  20"I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;  21that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. 

 

 Jesus says it all.

 

John 8:31-32
31So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
