Welcome Friends, this is Peter Beck, your host, and we're going to wrap up today some of the themes we've been talking about all week, I hope you've had a chance to join us, if not encourage you to go to our website at renewal ministries.net You can listen to the programs, they're archived that they're archived there and best way to connect with the program is to download the Renewal Ministries app, you can hear my weekly shows, Sister Anne's amazing shows, our YouTube videos, all kinds of good stuff there to help strengthen and encourage you in these challenging and difficult times that we're living through. And they don't seem to be getting easier for so many people. We're in contact with people all around the world friends. And it's not just happening here in the United States. But in countries all over the world, people are still gripped by fear and struggling as political struggles, their struggles in the church, neighborhood struggles, schools and all kinds of stuff is, is shaking. And I thought it might be helpful for me to just share with you some thoughts that I have that I'd really felt like the Lord from prophetic senses. I've talked about a different times over the last two years, that are, I think helpful to bring up on occasion just to give some perspective of what's going on spiritually. But let me just wrap up a little bit first, on John's gospel, John's gospel, chapter eight, we looked at Jesus's conflict with the religious leaders. And he was getting to the heart of the matter for them. And we saw that Jesus is self awareness was that he is a sent one. He's the one sent by the Father. And He says, I'm the way I'm the truth, and I'm the life. Jesus is the way for all of humanity. He is the only way and that's how he understood it. And that's the truth. He's the only way for human beings to come out of the predicament of darkness of slavery to sin. And the only way home to God the Father to our Father, Jesus came to reveal the Father, who he is Jesus said, the apostle to see me is to see the father. He's confronting the religious leaders who are resisting the words that Jesus is bringing. And he's telling them, you're resisting the father, you resist me, you resist the father, because I'm bringing you what he's communicated to me. And in that he's exposing the condition of their hearts. So it's intensification. So he's sent by the Father. He said, everything the father tells him is true. And everything he's telling the people is true. And the truth will set you free. It's a key theme that he went through. And this is important, the only truth that's going to set human beings free on an ultimate level, on the most important level, the eternal level, the only truth that will set human beings free from the bondage that we're in is Jesus. His passion, life, death, resurrection, all of it, his saving work. He brings us the truth that saves us. So that's what he's constantly bringing to the Pharisees. And of course, they're resisting it. He's the way he's the truth.
