Summary
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
JOHN 8:37-47 - 37 I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you. 38 I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.” 39 They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, 40 but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. 41 You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God.” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”

| 0:14.6 | God's Word today. This is an opportunity for us to get our hearts and our minds in gear |
| 0:21.4 | along the line of God's thinking so that we can live today in a way that brings Him glory. |
| 0:27.9 | And that reminds me of today's episode sponsor. This is an anonymous listener who says they |
| 0:33.2 | listen to the morning mindset every morning while sitting on their front porch. It settles |
| 0:37.8 | them and points them toward the day with Christ their king. Friends, that is an encouraging |
| 0:44.1 | thing for me to hear because that's why I do the morning mindset. If you would like |
| 0:48.3 | to encourage others through your testimony of why you listen to the morning mindset, |

| 1:26.9 | Right. Today we are looking at John chapter eight verses 37 through 47. This is an exchange |
| 1:33.2 | Jesus is having with some people who John says believed in him. Okay. And it's almost |
| 1:39.0 | like in this section, Jesus is testing that belief. He's pushing on it. He's prodding |
| 1:44.5 | on it. He's trying to see how far these people really know who Jesus is. So as we begin |
| 1:52.2 | reading, Jesus is speaking and he says, I know that you are offspring of Abraham. Yet |
| 1:58.4 | you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you. I speak of what I've seen |
| 2:03.6 | with my father and you do what you have heard from your father. They answered him. Abraham |
