Save your people!

Bless Israel, 

your special possession.

Lead them like a shepherd,

and carry them in your arms forever.

Psalm 28:9

…Who do you think you are?” 

Jesus answered…

Your father Abraham rejoiced 

as he looked forward to my coming. 

He saw it and was glad.” 

The people said, 

“You aren’t even fifty years old. 

How can you say you have seen Abraham?”

Jesus answered, 

“I tell you the truth, 

before Abraham was even born, 

I AM!” 

John 8:53-54, 56-58

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, 

“You are truly my disciples 

if you remain faithful to my teachings. 

And you will know the truth, 

and the truth will set you free.” 

John 8:31-32

Jesus continued, 

“You are from below; 

I am from above. 

You belong to this world; 

I do not. 

That is why I said that you will die in your sins; 

for unless you believe that I AM who I claim to be,

you will die in your sins.” 

John 8:23

(Galveston, TX)

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, 

“I am the light of the world. 

If you follow me, 

you won’t have to walk in darkness, 

because you will have the light that leads to life.”

John 8:12

On the last day, 

the climax of the festival, 

Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, 

“Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! 

Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! 

For the Scriptures declare, 

‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’”

(When he said “living water,” 

he was speaking of the Spirit, 

who would be given to everyone believing in him.)

John 7:37-39

Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, 

“Are you also going to leave?”

Simon Peter replied,

“Lord, to whom would we go?

You have the words that give eternal life. 

We believe,

and we know you are the Holy One of God.

John 6:67-69

The Spirit alone gives eternal life. 

Human effort accomplishes nothing. 

And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 

John 6:63

“I tell you the truth, 

anyone who believes has eternal life. 

Yes, 

I am the bread of life! 

Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, 

but they all died. 

Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, 

however, 

will never die.”

John 6:47-50
