Jesus told him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one can come to the Father
except through me.
Jesus told him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one can come to the Father
except through me.
Come and listen, all you who fear God,
and I will tell you what he did for me.
For I cried out to him for help,
praising him as I spoke.
If I had not confessed the sin in my heart,
the LORD would not have listened.
But God did listen!
He paid attention to my prayer.
Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer
or withdraw his unfailing love from me.
Let the whole world bless our God
and loudly sing his praises.
Our lives are in his hands,
and he keeps our feet from stumbling.
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God, and trust also in me.
There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.
If this were not so,
would I have told you
that I am going to prepare a place for you?
When everything is ready,
I will come and get you,
so that you will always be with me where I am.
You quieted the raging oceans
with their pounding waves
and silenced the shouting of the nations.
Those who live at the ends of the earth
stand in awe of your wonders.
From where the sun rises to where it sets,
you inspire shouts of joy.
I have come as a light to shine in this dark world,
so that all who put their trust in me
will no longer remain in the dark.
Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God…
…giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me…
And I will give you a new heart,
and I will put a new spirit in you.
I will take out your stony, stubborn heart
and give you a tender, responsive heart.
And I will put my Spirit in you…
But remember,
says the Sovereign LORD,
I am not doing this because you deserve it…
Ezekiel 36:26-27, 32
Jesus shouted to the crowds
“If you trust me,
you are trusting not only me,
but also God who sent me.
For when you see me,
you are seeing the one who sent me.
I have come as a light to shine in this dark world,
so that all who put their trust in me
will no longer remain in the dark.
…all the animals of the forest are mine,
and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know every bird on the mountains,
and all the animals of the field are mine.
