1. STUDY IT FOR YOURSELF! Have the attitude of the Bereans…
… take what you are taught and search the Scriptures each day to see if what was taught is what the Word of God says [Acts 17:11]!
Have the attitude of the Bereans…

2. The Spirit of Knowledge and Fear of the LORD
Part Two:
Jesus Knew from Where He came…
…and showed us the Way to the Father!

3. Jesus KNEW
from WHERE
He CAME…

4. Scripture says Jesus CAME from:
“For I HAVE COME down FROM HEAVEN, not to do My own will, but the will of HIM WHO SENT ME.” [John 6:38] “I AM the LIVING BREAD that came down out of HEAVEN…” [John 6:51] “I know Him; because I AM FROM Him, and HE SENT Me.” [John 7:29]

5. “… I AM NOT of this WORLD” [John 8:23] “…I proceeded forth and HAVE COME FROM GOD, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but HE SENT Me” [John 8:42] Jesus, knowing … that HE HAD COME FORTH FROM GOD, and was going back to God, [John 13:3]

6. The Witness of Jesus’ Disciples
“Now WE KNOW that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You;
by this WE BELIEVE that YOU CAME FROM GOD” [John 16:30]

7. Jesus SHOWED
us the Way to
the FATHER!

8. Jesus – a New and Living WAY Beyond the VEIL!

9. John 14:1-6 for I GO to PREPARE a PLACE for you.”
[1] “Let not your HEART be TROUBLED; BELIEVE in God, BELIEVE also in Me.
[2] “In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you;
for I GO to PREPARE a PLACE for you.”

10. KNOW WHERE You are going, HOW DO WE KNOW THE WAY?”
[3] “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that WHERE I AM, THERE YOU MAY [MIGHT] BE ALSO. [4] “And you know the way where I am going.” [5] Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we DO NOT KNOW WHERE You are going,
that WHERE I AM, THERE YOU MAY [MIGHT] BE ALSO.
KNOW WHERE You are going, HOW DO WE KNOW THE WAY?”

11. NO ONE COMES TO the Father,
[6] Jesus said to him,
“I AM the WAY,
and the TRUTH,
and the LIFE;
NO ONE COMES TO the Father,
EXCEPT THROUGH ME.

12. Romans 5:1-2
[1] Therefore having been justified by faith, WE HAVE PEACE with God THROUGH our Lord Jesus Christ, [2] through whom also we have OBTAINED OUR ACCESS [admission; introduction] by FAITH into this GRACE in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

13. Ephesians 2:13-18
[13] But now in [e)n] Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. [14] For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

14. [15] by ABOLSIHING in HIS FLESH the ENMITY, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, THAT IN HIMSELF He might make the two into one new man, thus ESTABLISHING PEACE, [16] and MIGHT RECONCILE them both in ONE BODY to God THROUGH the CROSS, by it having put to death the enmity.

15. [17] AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; [18] for THOUGH HIM WE both HAVE OUR ACCESS in one Spirit TO THE FATHER.

16. ACCESS through the BLOOD of Jesus!

17. Hebrews 9:3, 7
[3] And behind the second veil, there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, [7] but into the second only the high priest enters, once a year, NOT WITHOUT taking BLOOD, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people….

18. Hebrews 6:19-20
[19] This HOPE we have as an ANCHOR of the soul, a HOPE both sure and steadfast and one which ENTERS WITHIN the VEIL,

19. Hebrews 6:19-20
[19] … WITHIN THE VEIL,
[20] where Jesus has ENTERED as a FORERUNNER for us,
having become a HIGH PRIEST FOREVER according to the order of Melchizedek.

20. Discipleship Lessons from Hebrews 10:19-39

21. Hebrews 10:19-39
[19] Since therefore, brethren, we have CONFIDENCE TO ENTER the Holy Place by the BLOOD of JESUS,
[20] by a NEW and LIVING WAY which He INAUGERATED for us THROUGH the veil, that is,
HIS FLESH,

22. [21] and since we have a GREAT PRIEST over the house of God, [22] let us DRAW NEAR with a SINCERE HEART in FULL ASSURANCE of FAITH….

23. for He Who PROMISED is FAITHFUL;
[23] Let us HOLD FAST the CONFESSION of our HOPE without wavering, for He Who PROMISED is FAITHFUL; [24] and let us CONSIDER HOW to STIMULATE ONE ANOTHER to LOVE and GOOD DEEDS,
for He Who PROMISED is FAITHFUL;

24. but ENCOURAGING one another;
[25] NOT FORSAKING our own ASSEMBLING together,
AS IS the HABIT of SOME,
but ENCOURAGING one another;
and all the more, as you see the day drawing near.

25. there NO LONGER REMAINS a SACRIFICE for SINS,
[26] For if we go on SINNING WILLFULLY after receiving the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH,
there NO LONGER REMAINS a SACRIFICE for SINS,
[27] but a CERTAIN TERRIFYING EXPECTATION of JUDGEMENT, and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

26. [28] Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses DIES WITHOUT MERCY on the testimony of two or three witnesses. [29] How much SEVERER PUNISHMENT do you think he will deserve…

27. and has INSULTED the SPIRIT of GRACE?
[29] … who has TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT the Son of God,
and has REGARDED as UNCLEAN the BLOOD of the COVENANT by which he was SANCTIFIED,
and has INSULTED the SPIRIT of GRACE?

28. [30] For we KNOW Him Who said, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY
[30] For we KNOW Him Who said, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.” [31] It is a TERRIFYING thing to fall into the hands of the LIVING GOD. [32] But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,

29. [33] partly, by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated.
[34] For you showed sympathy to the prisoners, and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property,
KNOWING that you HAVE for yourselves a BETTER POSSESSION and an ABIDING ONE.

30. you MAY [MIGHT] RECEIVE WHAT WAS PROMISED.
[35] Therefore, DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR CONFIDENCE, which has a GREAT REWARD.
[36] For you have need of ENDURANCE,
so that when you HAVE DONE the WILL of GOD,
you MAY [MIGHT] RECEIVE WHAT WAS PROMISED.

31. MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.
[37] FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.
[38] BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH;
AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK,
MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.

32. BUT of THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH to the PRESERVING of the SOUL.
[39] But WE ARE NOT of those who SHRINK BACK to DESTRUCTION,
BUT of THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH to the PRESERVING of the SOUL.

33. Here IS Your
INVITATION to
KNOW and BELIEVE that JESUS is from GOD and SHOWS the WAY to the FATHER!
