Are you learning from Christ, each and every day, by abiding in His word? This is the importance of reading and meditating upon the word day by day. It is also important to abiding in Christ's word, that you regularly come to church and listen to the good preaching of the word of God. And, I can also tell you, that out of this abiding in the word, it will be important that you become a doer of the word, and not merely a hearer. You do not want to deceive yourself as to whether you know God or not. The problem with these Jews who held this conversation with the Lord Jesus was four-fold. 1st – They did not think that they had ever been in bondage, when they were really slaves of sin. (verses 31-36) 2nd – They thought that since Abraham was their physical ancestor and father of their race, that God was their heavenly Father.(verses 37-44) 3rd – They refused to consider Christ's glory, and thus they dishonored Him. (verses 45-50). And 4th – They did not believe in Christ's Deity, and thus they would attempt to kill Him. (verses 51-59) So, let us pray, now, as we listen to this message, that none of us will turn a deaf ear to the words of the Savior speaking through His written word; His word which is just as sure and true today, as it was on the day that He spoke it to these unbelieving Jews. You can know the truth if you presently don't, and the truth will set you free.
