The word of Jesus found in John 12.

The word of Jesus found in John 12: 44-50 (NIV)

⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. ⁴⁵ The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. ⁴⁶ I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

⁴⁷ “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day. ⁴⁹ For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. ⁵⁰ I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”

Last night at our weekly Bible study my wife and I along with some friends shared and studied more of John 12.  I have taken to taking apart sections of the Gospel and "praying, meditating, thinking on " the word God has given us. This helps me have a better perspective on each section. Dissecting the very words of Jesus for me is very enjoyable.

My hope: Please enjoy God's word for us slowly, gently and know that he loves you and I no matter the circumstances of our lives. He is the "Good Shepard" my desire is to follow him home.  Becoming a completely committed follower of Jesus takes time and instruction. But, we need to be teachable as well. Be still and let his word soak into your very being.
