Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Worldview - Part 2\n John 8:46-47\n 04\/08\/2025\n\n\n 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the\n truth, why do you not believe me?\n 47 Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The\n reason why you do not hear them is that you are\n not of God. (ESV)\n\n Jesus and the rulers of the Temple simply were not\n communicating. When Jesus said, ``If you abide in my word, you\n are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the\n truth will set you free,''[1] those who heard Him said, ``We have\n never been a slave, how can we be set free?'' Jesus was speaking\n of our slavery to sin, our rebellion against God, our desire to\n be like God and to replace God with our own selfish desires.\n Those who heard Him were thinking of a political freedom, freedom\n in this world to act as we want.\n\n Why was there the disconnect between Jesus and the ones who\n listened to Him? He explained: ``Which one of you convicts me of\n sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is\n of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear\n them is that you are not of God.''\n\n The teachers had strayed from the Word of God and taught\n human traditions and wisdom as God's truth. Today, many question\n the existence of truth itself. When the pastor exclaims, ``Thus\n says the Lord,'' he often hears, ``That is presumptuous of you to\n say you know God's will.''\n\n Our prayer is that we open our hearts and minds to hear the\n Word of God, to know that He desires all people to be saved and\n come to the knowledge of the truth.\n\n May our Lord grant that we come to know the truth of His\n Word, that we are redeemed from sin and death by the blood of\n Jesus Christ. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1.
