John 8:20-48


John 8:20-48
Jesus confronts His audience with their heritage. This was of upmost important in Jewish society as everyone wanted to prove their own lineage back to Abraham so they could enjoy the 'benefits' of God's chosen people. However their actions/mentality showed were instead characterised my worldly ambition and depravity. Jesus tells us that true sons and daughters of Abraham (those who love God) would not live like they did. My contribution to community, the way I was raised or how I act in public should not be my security in salvation. Jesus did all the work, my dumbass don't need to worry bout nothin else.
