John 4:48 “‘Unless you people see signs and wonders, ‘Jesus told him, ‘you will never believe.”‘ Faith is believing without physical, mental, touchable or any other kind of visible and tangible proof. Isn’t that definition of faith without human proof a little foolish? Can you prove Jesus lived? That Abraham and Lot separated? That Noah built an ark? That the world was created in 6 days? That Jesus lived, died and rose again? That eternity is real? And the list is endless. Faith is that cherished love all believers believe simply because God says so. No proof beyond God’s word is necessary. Is faith foolish? To the unbeliever–absolutely yes. To the faith filled–absolutely the foundation of life. Praise God for faith!

John 4:26 “Then Jesus declared, ‘I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” You and I have found the treasure. Our lives are totally affected because of our relationship with this God-man Jesus. We don’t have to waste any time or energy looking for Truth. Having found that Truth is an absolute miracle in each of our lives. We thank and praise God for performing that most loving miracle. Now we spread the news–we are excited about Christmas.

John 4:13 “Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”‘ God has created this world in such a way that without water nothing lives, but with water life flourishes. Life demands water. To gain eternal life a simple truth applies: you and I must drink water, not pop or beer or alcohol or any other wet product—only pure water. Everything else we drink might contain some water, but everyone who desires eternal life with our Heavenly Father must drink pure water. Jesus’ point is: I am the pure water– believe in me and receive a multitude of absolutely fantastic benefits.

John 3:36 “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” God could not be more direct in stating the truth of faith. The Son (Jesus) and faith in Him as the Redeemer of the world is the most important truth one must believe to gain eternal life. Rejecting that truth promises eternal death. This is not a man thought—it is an Almighty God truth. The crowd never determines absolute truth—God does. Is this truth harsh? No, it is the most loving truth known. Believe in Jesus and receive a treasure beyond belief. That is pure love.

John 3:19 “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.” Thanksgiving can be a wonderful celebration or Thanksgiving can be a time of eating with no appreciation of where all our blessings come from. For every Christian, Thanksgiving is another day of celebration for the earthly and spiritual blessings which you and I enjoy only because of the boundless generosity and love coming from our Almighty Heavenly Father. Happy Thanksgiving to all. We praise God for Light!
