"The Father and I are one." John 10:30 NLT
Here, our shepherd , the Lord Jesus, gives the clearest statement of His divinity ever made. Jesus and His Father are not the same person but, they are one in essence and nature. To understand this, we have to look at the Holy Trinity:
There is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. They are three separate persons rolled into one.
To explain this better, imagine an egg. One egg has three different parts - the shell, the white and the yoke. Three different parts but, it is still one egg. https://ahearttoknow.com/how-to-explain-the-trinity-to-children-free-printable
Therefore, God has three different persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three different persons but in one God.
So, Jesus is not only a good teacher but He is also God. His claim was unmistakeable but, still the religious leaders refused to grasp hold of it.
Throughout our world today, The Holy Trinity - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are still at work and there are still people who refuse to accept who they are. It is very clear in the bible that God came down to earth as a man - Jesus: 'He came into the very world He created, but the world didn't recognise Him. 11 He came to His own people, and even they rejected Him' John 1:10-11. And they are still rejecting Him, and yet, the world needs something when the going gets tough. Drugs may take the problems away for a short time, the same as alcohol may give a boost to the morale. However, when it wears off, the problem is still there. One cannot be saved from all of the pain and heartache with such things. Only Jesus can, and will provide release.
Have you ever made Jesus your Lord and Saviour or, like the leaders and people of the past, do you resist and reject Him. The fact remains one day everyone will meet Him when we die. This is the judgement when we all have to stand before Him and give an account of our life. If anyone still has sin in their life, they will be disallowed entry into His kingdom. Why, because, Jesus died on the cross to rescue us from sin. Accepting Him and asking Him for forgiveness means, you will be able to enter His kingdom, Jesus said: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.' John 14:6.
Don't gamble with eternity. It will be too late when you stand before Him. You need to know Him before you die. Why not be sure by saying this prayer to your shepherd:
'Lord Jesus, I give myself to You; please be my Lord and Saviour and forgive my sins. I ask you to fill me with Your Holy Spirit and, help me to live for You, from this day forth.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
You are now saved and belong to Jesus. Get yourself a bible and read it and find a good church.
