John 6:41-47 NKJV

1 Thessalonians 2:9-20 For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.

You are witnesses, and God also, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe;

as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charges every one of you, as a father does his own children,

that you would walk worthy of God who Calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans,

who killed both the Lord Jesus Christ and their own prophets, and have persecuted us,

and they do not please God and are contrary to all men,

forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.

But we, brethren, have been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire.

Therefore we wanted to come to you--even I, Paul, time and again--but Satan hindered us.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?

For you are our glory and joy.

Isaiah 54:11-15 "O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires.

I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones.

All your children shall be taught by the LORD. And great shall be the peace of your children.

In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you.

Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.

John 1:6-8 There was a man sent from God, whose name was was John.


This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.


He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 

John 3:16-21 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn to world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

“He who believes in Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

“And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil,

“For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

“But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
