Hi, I'm Kelly Mowrer.
00:00:16.63\00:00:17.93
Welcome to His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.96\00:00:19.56
Thank you for joining with me
today to read the word of God.
00:00:19.59\00:00:22.62
And before we go to the
word, let's go to Him in prayer.
00:00:22.65\00:00:25.47
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You
so much for these words of life.
00:00:25.50\00:00:30.45
Thank You that they are now a
light to our path, and that You
00:00:30.48\00:00:34.69
walk with us showing us the way
through the words that You have
00:00:34.72\00:00:37.70
preserved through all
these thousands of years.
00:00:37.73\00:00:40.39
Please send Your Holy Spirit
to be with us and to guide our
00:00:40.42\00:00:42.74
minds as we read.
00:00:42.77\00:00:43.89
We love You.
00:00:43.92\00:00:45.12
Amen.
00:00:45.15\00:00:46.12
I'm reading today
from the gospel of John,
00:00:46.13\00:00:49.47
in the King James
Version, chapter 1.
00:00:49.50\00:00:51.76
When we were last together we
were reading the story of Philip
00:00:51.79\00:00:54.89
going to Nathanael and saying,
We have found the Messiah.
00:00:54.92\00:00:57.62
Come and see.
00:00:57.65\00:00:58.62
It's Jesus of Nazareth.
00:00:58.63\00:00:59.91
And Nathanael answers him
and says, Can anything good come
00:00:59.94\00:01:03.07
out of Nazareth?
00:01:03.10\00:01:04.07
And Philip says, No, come.
00:01:04.08\00:01:05.97
He is the Son of God.
00:01:06.00\00:01:07.40
And so Nathanael goes with
him, and Jesus looks and he sees
00:01:07.43\00:01:10.10
Nathanael approaching,
and he says behold here is an
00:01:10.13\00:01:13.05
Israelite indeed, in
whom there is no guile.
00:01:13.08\00:01:15.84
And now we'll pick up in
the gospel of John, chapter 1,
00:01:15.87\00:01:19.27
with verse 48.
00:01:19.30\00:01:20.97
Nathanael saith unto
him, Whence knowest thou me?
00:01:21.00\00:01:25.85
Jesus answered and said unto
him, Before that Philip called
00:01:25.88\00:01:31.13
thee, when thou wast
under the fig tree, I saw thee.
00:01:31.16\00:01:34.49
Nathanael answered and saith
unto him, Rabbi, thou art the
00:01:34.52\00:01:39.04
Son of God; thou
art the King of Israel.
00:01:39.07\00:01:42.13
Jesus answered and said unto
him, Because I said unto thee,
00:01:42.16\00:01:46.39
I saw thee under the fig tree,
believest thou? thou shalt see
00:01:46.43\00:01:50.60
greater things than these.
00:01:50.63\00:01:52.38
And he saith unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
00:01:52.41\00:01:55.75
Hereafter ye shall see heaven
open, and the angels of God
00:01:55.78\00:02:00.30
ascending and
descending upon the Son of man.
00:02:00.33\00:02:03.90
Reading now in the
book of John, chapter 2.
00:02:03.93\00:02:07.69
And the third day there was
a marriage in Cana of Galilee;
00:02:07.72\00:02:12.08
and the mother of Jesus
was there: and both Jesus was
00:02:12.11\00:02:15.79
called, and his
disciples, to the marriage.
00:02:15.82\00:02:18.25
And when they wanted wine, the
mother of Jesus saith unto him,
00:02:18.28\00:02:22.27
They have no wine.
00:02:22.30\00:02:23.68
Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
what have I to do with thee?
00:02:23.71\00:02:28.57
mine hour is not yet come.
00:02:28.60\00:02:30.31
His mother saith unto the
servants, Whatsoever he saith
00:02:30.34\00:02:34.62
unto you, do it.
00:02:34.65\00:02:35.90
And there were set
there six waterpots of stone,
00:02:35.93\00:02:40.27
after the manner of
the purifying of the Jews,
00:02:40.30\00:02:43.21
containing two or
three firkins apiece.
00:02:43.24\00:02:45.93
Jesus saith unto them,
Fill the waterpots with water.
00:02:45.96\00:02:50.08
And they filled
them up to the brim.
00:02:50.11\00:02:52.06
And he saith unto them, Draw out
now, and bear unto the governor
00:02:52.09\00:02:57.58
of the feast.
00:02:57.61\00:02:58.58
And they bare it.
00:02:58.59\00:02:59.91
When the ruler of the feast had
tasted the water that was made
00:02:59.94\00:03:04.72
wine, and knew not whence
it was: (but the servants which
00:03:04.75\00:03:08.90
drew the water knew) the
governor of the feast called
00:03:08.93\00:03:12.11
the bridegroom, and saith unto
him, Every man at the beginning
00:03:12.14\00:03:15.55
doth set forth good wine;
and when men have well drunk,
00:03:15.58\00:03:19.76
then that which is worse:
but thou hast kept the good wine
00:03:19.79\00:03:24.59
until now.
00:03:24.62\00:03:25.67
This beginning of miracles
did Jesus in Cana of Galilee,
00:03:25.70\00:03:30.74
and manifested forth his glory;
00:03:30.77\00:03:33.60
and his
disciples believed on him.
00:03:33.63\00:03:36.43
After this he went down to
Capernaum, he, and his mother,
00:03:36.46\00:03:39.09
and his brethren, and his
disciples; and they continued
00:03:39.12\00:03:42.28
there not many days.
00:03:42.31\00:03:43.88
And the Jews' Passover was
at hand, and Jesus went up to
00:03:43.91\00:03:47.68
Jerusalem, and found in
the temple those that sold oxen
00:03:47.71\00:03:51.85
and sheep and doves, and
the changers of money sitting:
00:03:51.88\00:03:55.30
and when he had made a scourge
of small cords, he drove them
00:03:55.33\00:03:59.33
all out of the temple, and the
sheep, and the oxen; and poured
00:03:59.36\00:04:03.60
out the changers' money, and
overthrew the tables; and said
00:04:03.63\00:04:06.93
unto them that sold doves, Take
these things hence; make not my
00:04:06.96\00:04:12.45
Father's house an
house of merchandise.
00:04:12.48\00:04:15.10
And his disciples remembered
that it was written, The zeal of
00:04:15.13\00:04:19.42
thine house hath eaten me up.
00:04:19.45\00:04:21.33
Then answered the Jews and said
unto him, What sign showest thou
00:04:21.36\00:04:26.56
unto us, seeing that
thou doest these things?
00:04:26.59\00:04:29.65
Jesus answered and said
unto them, Destroy this temple,
00:04:29.68\00:04:33.95
and in three days
I will raise it up.
00:04:33.98\00:04:36.98
Then said the Jews, Forty
and six years was this temple in
00:04:37.01\00:04:42.51
building, and wilt thou
rear it up in three days?
00:04:42.54\00:04:46.03
But he spake of
the temple of his body.
00:04:46.06\00:04:49.53
When therefore he was risen
from the dead, his disciples
00:04:49.56\00:04:53.09
remembered that he had said this
unto them; and they believed the
00:04:53.12\00:04:56.39
Scripture, and the
word which Jesus had said.
00:04:56.42\00:04:58.77
Now when he was in Jerusalem at
the Passover, in the feast day,
00:04:58.80\00:05:02.22
many believed in his
name, when they saw the miracles
00:05:02.25\00:05:05.40
which he did.
00:05:05.43\00:05:06.40
But Jesus did not commit himself
unto them, because he knew all
00:05:06.41\00:05:10.34
men, and needed not that
any should testify of man;
00:05:10.37\00:05:13.96
for he knew what was in man.
00:05:13.99\00:05:16.62
I'm reading from the
book of John, chapter 3.
00:05:16.65\00:05:20.50
There was a man of the
Pharisees, named Nicodemus,
00:05:20.53\00:05:24.83
a ruler of the Jews: the
same came to Jesus by night,
00:05:24.86\00:05:29.34
and said unto him, Rabbi,
we know that thou art a teacher
00:05:29.37\00:05:33.51
come from God: for no man
can do these miracles that thou
00:05:33.54\00:05:37.15
doest, except God be with him.
00:05:37.18\00:05:39.25
Jesus answered and said unto
him, Verily, verily, I say unto
00:05:39.28\00:05:43.69
thee, Except a
man be born again,
00:05:43.72\00:05:46.26
he cannot see
the kingdom of God.
00:05:46.29\00:05:48.76
Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is
00:05:48.79\00:05:53.44
old? can he enter the second
time into his mother's womb,
00:05:53.47\00:05:57.28
and be born?
00:05:57.32\00:05:59.50
Jesus answered, Verily, verily,
I say unto thee, Except a man be
00:05:59.54\00:06:04.10
born of water and of the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the
00:06:04.13\00:06:07.48
kingdom of God.
00:06:07.51\00:06:08.48
That which is born of the flesh
is flesh; and that which is born
00:06:08.49\00:06:13.12
of the Spirit is spirit.
00:06:13.15\00:06:14.75
Marvel not that I said unto
thee, Ye must be born again.
00:06:14.78\00:06:18.79
The wind bloweth where it
listeth, and thou hearest the
00:06:18.82\00:06:22.55
the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh,
00:06:22.58\00:06:25.37
and whither it goeth: so
is every one that is born
00:06:25.40\00:06:28.73
of the Spirit.
00:06:28.76\00:06:30.24
Nicodemus answered and said unto
him, How can these things be?
00:06:30.27\00:06:34.27
Jesus answered and said
unto him, Art thou a master of
00:06:34.30\00:06:38.91
Israel, and
knowest not these things?
00:06:38.94\00:06:41.09
Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, We speak that we do know,
00:06:41.12\00:06:46.51
and testify that we have seen;
and ye receive not our witness.
00:06:46.54\00:06:52.29
If I have told you earthly
things, and ye believe not,
00:06:52.32\00:06:56.02
how shall ye believe, if I
tell you of heavenly things?
00:06:56.05\00:06:59.49
And no man hath ascended up
to heaven, but he that came down
00:06:59.52\00:07:03.84
from heaven, even the Son
of man which is in heaven.
00:07:03.87\00:07:07.02
And as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness,
00:07:07.05\00:07:10.74
even so must the Son of man
be lifted up: that whosoever
00:07:10.77\00:07:16.31
believeth in him should not
perish, but have eternal life.
00:07:16.34\00:07:20.00
For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son,
00:07:20.03\00:07:25.49
that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have
00:07:25.52\00:07:30.48
everlasting life.
00:07:30.51\00:07:31.79
For God sent not his Son into
the world to condemn the world;
00:07:31.82\00:07:36.68
but that the world
through him might be saved.
00:07:36.71\00:07:41.14
He that believeth on him
is not condemned: but he that
00:07:41.17\00:07:45.45
believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not
00:07:45.48\00:07:49.17
believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God.
00:07:49.20\00:07:52.08
And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the
00:07:52.11\00:07:56.39
world, and men loved darkness
rather than light, because their
00:07:56.42\00:08:00.69
deeds were evil.
00:08:00.72\00:08:01.69
For every one that doeth evil
hateth the light, neither cometh
00:08:01.70\00:08:06.17
to the light, lest his
deeds should be reproved.
00:08:06.20\00:08:09.31
But he that doeth truth cometh
to the light, that his deeds may
00:08:09.34\00:08:14.14
be made manifest, that
they are wrought in God.
00:08:14.17\00:08:18.02
After these things came Jesus
and his disciples into the land
00:08:18.05\00:08:22.68
of Judea; and there he
tarried with them, and baptized.
00:08:22.71\00:08:26.83
And John also was baptizing
in Aenon near to Salim,
00:08:26.86\00:08:30.70
because there was much
water there: and they came,
00:08:30.73\00:08:33.39
and were baptized.
00:08:33.42\00:08:34.85
For John was not
yet cast into prison.
00:08:34.88\00:08:37.32
Then there arose a question
between some of John's disciples
00:08:37.35\00:08:41.94
and the Jews about purifying.
00:08:41.97\00:08:43.54
And they came unto John,
and said unto him, Rabbi,
00:08:43.57\00:08:46.75
he that was with thee beyond
Jordan, to whom thou barest
00:08:46.78\00:08:50.71
witness, behold, the
same baptizeth, and all men
00:08:50.74\00:08:54.37
come to him.
00:08:54.40\00:08:55.37
John answered and said,
A man can receive nothing,
00:08:55.38\00:09:00.03
except it be
given him from heaven.
00:09:00.06\00:09:02.11
Ye yourselves bear me witness,
that I said, I am not the
00:09:02.14\00:09:06.37
Christ, but that I
am sent before him.
00:09:06.40\00:09:08.71
He that hath the bride is
the bridegroom: but the friend
00:09:08.74\00:09:13.13
of the bridegroom, which
standeth and heareth him,
00:09:13.16\00:09:15.67
rejoiceth greatly because
of the bridegroom's voice:
00:09:15.70\00:09:18.76
this my joy
therefore is fulfilled.
00:09:18.79\00:09:22.47
He must increase,
but I must decrease.
00:09:22.50\00:09:26.84
He that cometh from above
is above all: he that is of the
00:09:26.87\00:09:31.31
earth is earthly, and speaketh
of the earth: he that cometh
00:09:31.34\00:09:35.15
from heaven is above all.
00:09:35.18\00:09:37.12
And what he hath seen and heard,
that he testifieth; and no man
00:09:37.15\00:09:42.71
receiveth his testimony.
00:09:42.74\00:09:44.04
He that hath received his
testimony hath set to his seal
00:09:44.07\00:09:48.98
that God is true.
00:09:49.01\00:09:50.62
For he whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God:
00:09:50.65\00:09:54.43
for God giveth not the
Spirit by measure unto him.
00:09:54.46\00:09:58.05
The Father loveth the
Son, and hath given all things
00:09:58.08\00:10:02.32
into his hand.
00:10:02.35\00:10:03.67
He that believeth on the
Son hath everlasting life:
00:10:03.70\00:10:07.52
and he that believeth not
the Son shall not see life;
00:10:07.55\00:10:11.13
but the wrath of
God abideth on him.
00:10:11.16\00:10:14.19
I'm reading in the
book of John, chapter 4.
00:10:14.22\00:10:17.84
When therefore the Lord knew
how the Pharisees had heard that
00:10:17.87\00:10:22.68
Jesus made and baptized
more disciples than John,
00:10:22.71\00:10:26.05
he left Judea, and
departed again into Galilee.
00:10:29.95\00:10:33.33
And he must needs
go through Samaria.
00:10:33.36\00:10:35.70
Then cometh he to a city of
Samaria, which is called Sychar,
00:10:35.73\00:10:40.73
near to the parcel of
ground that Jacob gave to
00:10:40.76\00:10:43.46
his son Joseph.
00:10:43.49\00:10:44.46
Now Jacob's well was there.
00:10:44.48\00:10:46.53
Jesus therefore, being wearied
with his journey, sat thus on
00:10:46.56\00:10:51.38
the well: and it was
about the sixth hour.
00:10:51.41\00:10:54.09
There cometh a woman of Samaria
to draw water: Jesus saith unto
00:10:54.12\00:10:59.89
her, Give me to drink.
00:10:59.92\00:11:01.61
Then saith the woman of Samaria
unto him, How is it that thou,
00:11:05.65\00:11:10.72
being a Jew, askest drink of
me, which am a woman of Samaria?
00:11:10.75\00:11:16.50
for the Jews have no
dealings with the Samaritans.
00:11:16.53\00:11:20.15
Jesus answered and said unto
her, If thou knewest the gift of
00:11:20.18\00:11:23.66
God, and who it is that
saith to thee, Give me to drink;
00:11:23.69\00:11:27.55
thou wouldest have asked of him,
and he would have given thee
00:11:27.58\00:11:32.69
living water.
00:11:32.72\00:11:34.42
The woman saith unto him, Sir,
thou hast nothing to draw with,
00:11:34.45\00:11:38.89
and the well is deep:
from whence then hast thou
00:11:38.92\00:11:42.60
that living water?
00:11:42.63\00:11:43.60
Art thou greater than our father
Jacob, which gave us the well,
00:11:43.61\00:11:47.65
and drank thereof himself, and
his children, and his cattle?
00:11:47.68\00:11:51.09
Jesus answered and said unto
her, Whosoever drinketh of this
00:11:51.12\00:11:55.94
water shall thirst again: but
whosoever drinketh of the water
00:11:55.97\00:12:00.18
that I shall give him shall
never thirst; but the water that
00:12:00.21\00:12:04.55
I shall give him shall be in
him a well of water springing up
00:12:04.58\00:12:08.24
into everlasting life.
00:12:08.27\00:12:09.72
The woman saith unto
him, Sir, give me this water,
00:12:09.75\00:12:13.05
that I thirst not,
neither come hither to draw.
00:12:13.08\00:12:15.30
Jesus saith unto her, Go call
thy husband, and come hither.
00:12:15.33\00:12:20.36
The woman answered and
said, I have no husband.
00:12:20.39\00:12:24.56
Jesus said unto her, Thou hast
well said, I have no husband:
00:12:24.59\00:12:28.27
for thou hast had five husbands;
and he whom thou now hast is not
00:12:28.30\00:12:32.43
thy husband: in
that saidst thou truly.
00:12:32.46\00:12:35.98
The woman saith unto
him, Sir, I perceive that thou
00:12:36.01\00:12:39.76
art a prophet.
00:12:39.79\00:12:40.76
Our fathers worshiped in
this mountain; and ye say,
00:12:40.77\00:12:43.07
that in Jerusalem is the place
where men ought to worship.
00:12:43.10\00:12:45.86
Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
believe me, the hour cometh,
00:12:45.89\00:12:51.33
when ye shall neither in this
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem,
00:12:51.36\00:12:54.46
worship the Father.
00:12:54.50\00:12:55.61
Ye worship ye know not
what: we know what we worship;
00:12:55.64\00:13:00.34
for salvation is of the Jews.
00:13:00.37\00:13:02.05
But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshipers shall
00:13:02.08\00:13:07.06
worship the Father in spirit
and in truth: for the Father
00:13:07.09\00:13:11.74
seeketh such to worship him.
00:13:11.77\00:13:13.54
God is a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship him
00:13:13.57\00:13:17.69
in spirit and in truth.
00:13:17.72\00:13:19.85
The woman saith unto him,
I know that Messiah cometh,
00:13:19.88\00:13:24.41
which is called
Christ: when he is come,
00:13:24.44\00:13:26.97
he will tell us all things.
00:13:27.00\00:13:28.19
Jesus saith unto her, I
that speak unto thee am he.
00:13:28.22\00:13:35.07
And upon this came his
disciples, and marveled that he
00:13:35.10\00:13:39.36
talked with the woman: yet no
man said, What seekest thou? or,
00:13:39.39\00:13:43.37
Why talkest thou with her?
00:13:43.40\00:13:44.95
The woman then left her
waterpot, and went her way into
00:13:44.98\00:13:48.54
the city, and saith to the men,
Come, see a man, which told me
00:13:48.57\00:13:52.10
all things that ever I
did: is not this the Christ?
00:13:52.13\00:13:56.00
Then they went out of
the city, and came unto him.
00:13:56.03\00:13:59.03
In the meanwhile his disciples
prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
00:13:59.06\00:14:04.00
But he said unto them, I have
meat to eat that ye know not of.
00:14:04.03\00:14:09.02
Therefore said the disciples one
to another, Hath any man brought
00:14:09.05\00:14:12.83
him aught to eat?
00:14:12.86\00:14:13.83
Jesus saith unto them, My meat
is to do the will of him that
00:14:13.84\00:14:18.69
sent me, and to finish his work.
00:14:18.72\00:14:21.18
Say not ye, There are yet four
months, and then cometh harvest?
00:14:21.21\00:14:24.85
behold, I say unto you, Lift
up your eyes, and look on the
00:14:24.88\00:14:29.24
fields; for they are
white already to harvest.
00:14:29.27\00:14:33.65
