Reading of the Week

Jesus did only as His Father instructed. He said, “…the world must learn…that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me…” (John 14:31). Can I say that? If one does not follow Jesus, one does not only fail to hear from God but would not be doing as God says. John 8:47 says, “He who belongs to God hears what God says…” God has a hard enough time to locate obedience within the realms of those who claim to be His. In John 10:27, Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. Can I say that? The true follower can say that. Jesus also said, (John 8:29), “The one who sent me is with me, for I always do what pleases him.”

Can the saved say, “The one who saved me is with me (indwelt by the Holy Spirit), for I always do what pleases him…” Let us ask ourselves today, “Can I say that?” While in our midst Jesus said (John 8:28), “I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.” Can the one who professes Christ say, “I do nothing on my own but speak (say / do) just what my Lord and Saviour has taught me”? “My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me” (John 7:16). Can the disciple of Christ say, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from Him who saved me”? To remain in Jesus’ love His followers obey His commands (John 15:10), and become His friends by obeying (John 15:14), and love each other as Jesus loves them (John 15:12).

Let each believer ask himself/herself, “Can I say that?” Another thing Jesus said is, “I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do” (John 17:4). Can the believer say, “I am bringing You glory on the earth by completing the work you are giving me to do…? “Do not believe me,” Jesus said, “unless I do what my Father does” (John 10: 37). Someone leading another to Jesus wants to be able to say, “Do not believe me unless I do what my Lord and Saviour says”? In order to become a part of any of the foregoing, one must first be born again. Ask yourself today, “Can I say that I am?
