When God Says …
“And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.” (John 8:50-51 KJV)
The Lord, continuing to overlook the slurs these religious people angrily hurl at Him, stayed focused to reveal to them the Father who sent Him. It is for the Father's glory He is seeking as He declares the Father's message that He is conveying to them and to us all, as well. It is the Father who seeks them and everyone in the world to save us all. He is the One who judges who should enter the kingdom prepared before the creation of the earth (Matthew 25:34).
Emphasizing the importance of His message, that the Words He is saying are firsthand truth coming from the Father with whom He is one with, the Lord Jesus uses the word of absolute hope and sincerity. He proclaims 'truly or verily' coming from the Aramaic and Hebrew word AMEN! This says certainly. It is for sure! If we seriously take the Words of the Lord Jesus Christ and let it be the footing of our living, we'll never have to look the face of death. We will live forever!
The scriptures warned us, that by being like this religious antagonists of the Lord Jesus Christ who are engrossed with precepts of the world and doctrines of their religion, nothings is gained, but so much to lose. As the Lord Jesus does the will of God, we are called to believe in Him to be one with Him by faith. Hence, in Him Apostle John reminds with a promise: “And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” (1 John 2:17 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
