The word Jesus spoke will judge you on the last day
John 12:44-50
Overseer Sung-Hyun Kim
God
is spirit.
No one
has seen Him; only the Son has seen Him.
His Son
is in the form of God (Phil 2:6).
He came to the world as the light of heaven (Jn 12:46).
The light is life (Jn 1:4)
and life is the Word (Jn 6:63).
He came to save the world (Jn 12:47).
There is a judge for those who hear Jesus’ words
and do not keep them –
the word that He spoke will judge them (Jn 12:48).
For He did not speak on His own authority,
but God the Father spoke these words Himself (Jn 12:49).
Jesus’ words, deeds, power and His body
are the words of God (Jn 14:10-11).
Therefore,
you cannot reject Jesus, for this is rejecting life
and rejecting God and eternal life (Jn 8:47).
God’s commands are eternal life (Jn 12:50).
○ This is judgement – to reject the word.
The testimony spoken by the Holy Spirit is the truth –
this is Jesus Christ.
○ Believing Jesus Christ is believing God
who sent Him,
and believing God is eternal life.
○ The word is before our eyes and even closer.
Believing and obeying the word
is believing God and this will gain eternal life.
※ If you believe the word, you see the truth; if you see the truth,
you see the Holy Spirit; and if you see Him,
you see Jesus Christ. He is the resurrection and the life.
