Receiving the witness of Christ Jesus!

“Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.” John 3:10-11

Jesus desires to share with you what He knows and what He has seen. The question is are you open and willing to accept His witness?

Nicodemus came looking for an exclamation from Jesus. He could not understand how Jesus performed mighty signs and wonders.

Nicodemus was a well educated man and a teacher of the laws of Israel. His approach to God was through an intellectual process and by keeping the laws and rituals of the Old Covenant.

Nicodemus did not understand Jesus was the Son of God and was sent from the Father to the earth to offer the gift of salvation to lost souls. He was unable to accept the witness of Jesus because he was not born again of the Water and Spirit. He was blind to the truths of God.

Jesus said if I tell you earthly things and you do not believe me how will you understand the deeper things of God. The ability to grasp the deep truths of God comes from the Holy Spirit. He takes what belongs to Jesus and shares it with you.

The first step in coming to Jesus is believing He is the Son of God and has authority over the heavens and earth. He is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to God except through Him. This truth shattered the perspective of Nicodemus about the reality of God.

Secondly, you have to be born again to accept the witness of Jesus. Christianity is not about accepting Jesus. It is about inviting Jesus to give you new life through the work of the cross.

This happens when you are baptized in the Water and the Spirit. The Water cleanses you from sin and you die to your old life. You become a new creature in Christ Jesus. The Spirit baptizes you into the life of Jesus and gives you the ability to grasp the things of God. You can now look at life through the eyes of Jesus.

You accept the witness of Jesus when you worship Him in Spirit and Truth. Jesus is a spiritual being and He lives in you.

Come to Jesus today by faith and with an open mind to the deeper things of God. Give Jesus the right to establish His reality in your life. He wants to be a vital part in all the details of your life.

Jesus wants to meet you today and share what He knows and has seen. This will be a life changing experience and will enrich you with the special treasures of our majestic God.

He lives so you can live!
