00:16 Hi, I'm Kelly Mowrer.
00:17 Thank you for joining me today for His Words Are Life. 00:20 Before we go to the word of God, let's go to Him in prayer and 00:24 ask Him to be with us as we read. 00:26 Dear Heavenly Father, thank You so very much that we are blessed 00:31 to come and to read the message that You have long ago prepared 00:36 for us today as we read. 00:38 We ask that You will be with us. 00:40 May these words be planted firmly in our hearts. 00:44 May they not be just life to us, but abundant life that we share 00:48 with everyone we meet. 00:50 Thank You so much. 00:51 We love You. 00:52 Amen. 00:53 Again, thank you for joining me today. 00:56 We'll be reading from the gospel of John, the King James Version, 01:00 in chapter 12. 01:01 When we were last together Jesus had just told his 01:05 disciples that the time had come for the Son of man 01:08 to be glorified. 01:09 And now let's pick up in verse 27. 01:12 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? 01:17 Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I 01:24 unto this hour. 01:25 Father, glorify thy name. 01:28 Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both 01:33 glorified it, and will glorify it again. 01:36 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, 01:40 said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. 01:44 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, 01:49 but for your sakes. 01:51 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of 01:55 this world be cast out. 01:57 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, 02:00 will draw all men unto me. 02:03 This he said, signifying what death he should die. 02:08 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that 02:11 Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man 02:15 must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 02:18 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the 02:22 light with you. 02:23 Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: 02:28 for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 02:32 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the 02:35 children of light. 02:37 These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself 02:41 from them. 02:44 But though he had done so many miracles before them, 02:46 yet they believed not on him: that the saying of Esaias the 02:52 prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath 02:55 believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord 02:59 been revealed? 03:00 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias 03:03 said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their 03:06 heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand 03:10 with their heart, and be converted, 03:11 and I should heal them. 03:12 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, 03:16 and spake of him. 03:17 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on 03:22 him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess 03:26 him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 03:29 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 03:34 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not 03:38 on me, but on him that sent me. 03:40 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 03:43 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth 03:48 on me should not abide in darkness. 03:50 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, 03:54 I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, 03:57 but to save the world. 03:59 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, 04:03 hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, 04:07 the same shall judge him in the last day. 04:10 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, 04:14 he gave me a commandment, what I should say, 04:17 and what I should speak. 04:19 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever 04:24 I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. 04:30 I'm reading from the King James Version in the book of John, 04:33 and we're now starting with chapter 13. 04:35 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that 04:40 his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto 04:44 the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, 04:47 he loved them unto the end. 04:50 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the 04:55 heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; 04:58 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his 05:03 hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; 05:06 he riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; 05:11 and took a towel, and girded himself. 05:14 After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the 05:19 disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith 05:23 he was girded. 05:24 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, 05:29 dost thou wash my feet? 05:31 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not 05:37 now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 05:41 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. 05:45 Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, 05:48 thou hast no part with me. 05:51 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, 05:55 but also my hands and my head. 05:57 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash 06:02 his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, 06:06 but not all. 06:08 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, 06:11 Ye are not all clean. 06:13 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his 06:17 garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, 06:19 Know ye what I have done to you? 06:22 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 06:27 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; 06:32 ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 06:35 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have 06:39 done to you. 06:40 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than 06:45 his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he 06:49 that sent him. 06:50 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 06:55 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: 07:01 but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread 07:05 with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 07:08 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, 07:12 ye may believe that I am he. 07:14 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever 07:20 I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him 07:25 that sent me. 07:26 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, 07:31 and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, 07:34 that one of you shall betray me. 07:37 Then the disciples looked on one another, 07:41 doubting of whom he spake. 07:42 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, 07:46 whom Jesus loved. 07:47 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask 07:51 who it should be of whom he spake. 07:53 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 07:58 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, 08:04 when I have dipped it. 08:05 And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, 08:10 the son of Simon. 08:12 And after the sop Satan entered into him. 08:16 Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 08:21 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake 08:25 this unto him. 08:27 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, 08:29 that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have 08:32 need of against the feast; or, that he should give something 08:35 to the poor. 08:38 He then having received the sop went immediately out: 08:41 and it was night. 08:42 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the 08:46 Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 08:50 If God be glorified in him God shall also glorify him in 08:55 himself, and shall straightway glorify him. 08:57 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. 09:02 Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, 09:06 ye cannot come; so now I say to you. 09:09 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; 09:14 as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 09:17 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, 09:21 if ye have love one to another. 09:23 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? 09:28 Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not 09:33 follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. 09:36 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? 09:40 I will lay down my life for thy sake. 09:42 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? 09:48 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, 09:52 till thou hast denied me thrice. 09:55 I'm reading from the gospel of John in the King James Version, 09:59 chapter 14. 10:00 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, 10:05 believe also in me. 10:06 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, 10:11 I would have told you. 10:12 I go to prepare a place for you. 10:14 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, 10:18 and receive you unto myself; that where I am, 10:22 there ye may be also. 10:24 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 10:29 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; 10:34 and how can we know the way? 10:36 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: 10:42 no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 10:46 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: 10:49 and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 10:52 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, 10:56 and it sufficeth us. 10:58 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, 11:02 and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me 11:06 hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, 11:10 Show us the Father? 11:12 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, 11:15 and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak 11:19 not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, 11:23 he doeth the works. 11:25 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: 11:29 or else believe me for the very works' sake. 11:32 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, 11:37 the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than 11:43 these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 11:46 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, 11:50 that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 11:54 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 11:58 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 12:02 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another 12:05 Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; 12:08 even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, 12:13 because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: 12:15 but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 12:20 I will not leave you comfortless: 12:23 I will come to you. 12:24 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; 12:28 but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 12:33 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, 12:38 and I in you. 12:39 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, 12:43 he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of 12:49 my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 12:54 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it 13:01 that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 13:05 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, 13:09 he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, 13:12 and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 13:15 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word 13:20 which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. 13:23 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 13:28 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will 13:32 send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all 13:35 things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 13:39 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: 13:44 not as the world giveth, give I unto you. 13:47 Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 13:51 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again 13:55 unto you, If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, 13:58 because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is 14:02 greater than I. 14:03 And now I have told you before it come to pass, 14:07 that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 14:11 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of 14:14 this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 14:17 But that the world may know that I love the Father; 14:21 and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. 14:25 Arise, let us go hence. 14:28 Thank you for being with me today to read the word of God. 14:32 May He keep you until next time. |
