John 8:48-59 If The World Does Not Awaken, It Will Perish Eternally

The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?” Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.  But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.  Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death.”  The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.’  Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?” Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;  and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”  So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”  Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.
The importance of the eighth chapter of John is that Jesus continually declared who He is and identified Himself with God the Father.  Yet the Jews wanted no part of Jesus Christ, even dismissing His miracles and other signs. They declare their importance comes through Abraham who was only a man and the Law that was broken to the extent of their previous exile.  Now that the God comes to dwell among them, not only do they fail to recognize Him, but reject Him and ultimately kill Him.
Daily Prayer:  Lord Jesus, in this world there is death upon death.  Those who do not recognize You and honor You are dead already in the spirit.  If nothing else changes, in a short while they will die again and be separated from God forever.  Awaken this slumbering world to revival so that even in my day, we may celebrate You and the mission You accomplished.  In Your Holy Name I pray Amen.
