King James Version
14 Jesus answered and said unto them,
Though I bear record of myself,
yet my record is true:
for I know whence I came, and whither I go;
but ye cannot tell whence I come,
and whither I go.
JESUS is GOD's Emissary.
Emissary is like a diplomat, a representative, a messenger.
Someone who is sent, in behalf of another.
My delight is in giving you proof.
First, the post, and verse that inspired this 98th blog:
Mark 12:6
King James Version
6 Having yet therefore one son,
his wellbeloved,
he sent him also last unto them,
saying,
They will reverence my son.
Secondly?
JESUS was sent by GOD.
These verses, in JESUS' own words, attest to it:
John 8:15-16
King James Version
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true:
for I am not alone,
but I and the Father that sent me.
John 8:17-18
King James Version
17 It is also written in your law,
that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself,
and the Father that sent me
beareth witness of me.
John 8:26-27
King James Version
26 I have many things to say
and to judge of you:
but he that sent me is true;
and I speak to the world those things
which I have heard of him.
27 They understood not
that he spake to them of the Father.
John 8:29-30
King James Version
29 And he that sent me is with me:
the Father hath not left me alone;
for I do always those things that please him.
30 As he spake these words,
many believed on him.
John 8:42
King James Version
42 Jesus said unto them,
If God were your Father, ye would love me:
for I proceeded forth and came from God;
neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
John 17:3
King James Version
3 And this is life eternal,
that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
John 17:8
King James Version
8 For I have given unto them the words
which thou gavest me;
and they have received them,
and have known surely that I came out from thee,
and they have believed that thou
didst send me.
John 17:18
King James Version
18 As thou hast sent me into the world,
even so have I also sent them into the world.
John 17:20-21
King James Version
20 Neither pray I for these alone,
but for them also which shall believe on me
through their word;
21 That they all may be one;
as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee,
that they also may be one in us:
that the world may believe
that thou hast sent me.
John 17:22-23
King James Version
22 And the glory which thou gavest me
I have given them;
that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me,
that they may be made perfect in one;
and that the world may know
that thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
John 17:25-26
King James Version
25 O righteous Father,
the world hath not known thee:
but I have known thee,
and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name,
and will declare it:
that the love wherewith thou hast loved me
may be in them, and I in them.
Do you believe these to be true?
If so, you are of GOD:
John 8:47
King James Version
47 He that is of God heareth God's words:
ye therefore hear them not,
because ye are not of God.
And you are of the LORD's sheep:
John 10:27-28
King James Version
27 My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them
out of my hand.
The next post tells us the danger, and difficulties of being Emissary.
