From now on families will be split apart, three in favour of Jesus, and two against – or perhaps the other way around. A father will decide one way about Jesus; his son the other way about Jesus; mother and daughter will disagree; and the decision of an honoured mother-in-law will be spurned by her daughter-in-law. The decision of an honoured mother-in-law will be rejected with disdain and treated with disrespect and contempt by her daughter-in-law.

JESUS, GOD’S LAWS AND OUR
JUDGMENT
Jesus hasn’t come to cancel the Laws of Moses and the Warnings of the Prophets. No, Jesus came to fulfil them and to make them all come true. Jesus came to observe them, keep them, carry them out, comply with them, obey them, perform them, satisfy them and complete them – The Laws of Moses and the Warnings of the Prophets.
Matthew 5:17
The Father leaves all judgment, sentence and punishment of sin, of thoughts, speech and actions against God’s laws, to his Son Jesus, so that everyone will respect and honour the Son, Jesus, just as they respect and honour the Father.
John 5:22-23
Jesus is not testing, trying and judging us now; but if he were, it would be an absolutely correct judgment, sentence and punishment in every respect, for Jesus has with him the Father who sent him.
John 8:15-16
Jesus passes no judgment, sentence and punishment without consulting the Father. Jesus tests, tries and judges as he is told by the Father. Jesus’ judgment, sentence and punishment is absolutely fair and just, for it is according to the will, wish and desire, the plan, purpose and pleasure of God who sent Jesus and is not merely his own.
John 5:30

John 3:18
Their sentence is based on this fact: that the Light and Illumination from heaven, from God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care, came into the world, but they the loved darkness more than the Light and the Illumination for their deeds and actions were evil and ungodly and against the Laws of God, as a disobedient people.
John 3:19
They hated the heavenly Light, the Illumination from heaven, from God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care because they wanted to sin, to think, speak and act against God’s Laws, in the darkness, as a disobedient people. They stayed away from the Light and Illumination for and out of fear that their sins, their thoughts, speech and actions against God’s Laws, as a disobedient people, would be exposed and that they would be punished.
John 3:20
We, the people of the world would not be guilty if Jesus had not come and spoken to us. But now we have no excuse for our sin. But now we have no approval, no defence and no justification for our sin, for our thoughts, our speech and our actions against the Laws of God, as a disobedient people.
John 15:22
The world hates Jesus, the people of the world hate Jesus, because he accuses it, he accuses us of sin of thinking, speaking and acting against God’s Laws in disobedience and because he accuses it and us of evil and ungodliness.
John 7:7
Those people who don’t believe, trust in, rely on and depend upon Jesus and obey Jesus and do as he directs shall never see heaven, God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care, but the wrath, the anger and judgment, the rage, fury, exasperation, indignation and resentment of God remains upon them.
John 3:36
Jesus was deeply disturbed and annoyed by their indifference, their inattention to human need, to people in distress, suffering and hardship, when they failed to help and assist them.
Mark 3:5
Then Jesus began to pour out his denunciations against the cities where he had done most of his miracles, deeds and actions, because they hadn’t turned around to face God in repentance. “Woe, distress, sorrow and suffering to you, Chorazin and woe, distress and suffering to you Bethsaida!
For if the miracles, deeds and actions I did in your streets had been done in wicked Tyre and Sidon their people would have repented and turned right around to face God and begun to obey God’s Laws long ago in shame and humility.
Really and truly, Tyre and Sidon will be better off on the Day of Judgment than you!
And Capernaum, though highly respected and honoured shall go down into hell, the home of the damned!
For if the marvellous miracles, deeds and actions I did in you had been done in Sodom, it would still be here to day. Really and truly, Sodom will be better off on the Judgment Day than you Capernaum.”
Matthew 11:20-24
“What horrors await you, you cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida! For if the miracles, deeds and actions I did for you had been done in the cities of Tyre and Sidon, their people would have sat in deep repentance having turned right round to face God and begun to obey God’s Laws long ago, clothed in sackcloth and throwing ashes on their heads to show their remorse, regret and sorrow. Yes, Tyre and Sidon will receive less punishment on the Judgment Day than you Chorazin and Bethsaida. And you people of Capernaum, what shall I say about you? Will you be exalted and raised to heaven, to God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care? No, you shall be brought down to hell, the home of the damned!”
Luke 10:13-15
JESUS TRAVELS AROUND ANNOUNCING
THE GOOD NEWS OF THE ARRIVAL OF GOD’S KINGDOM
Jesus began a tour of the cities and villages of Galilee to announce and preach, proclaim, publish openly and publicly and inculcate urge and impress his message and teaching upon the minds of his listeners about the coming of the Kingdom of God, God the Father’s Home, Rule, and Care.
Luke 8:1
Jesus continued to travel around preaching in synagogues throughout Judea.
Luke 4:44
Jesus travelled throughout the province of Galilee, preaching in the synagogues.
Mark 1:39
Jesus travelled all through Galilee teaching, instructing and directing in the Jewish synagogues, everywhere preaching the Good News – The Good, favourable, agreeable, advantageous, gratifying and satisfying News – God’s latest announcement, communication and message with information and advice, instructions and directions about the Kingdom of Heaven, God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care.
Matthew 4:23
Jesus was sent by the Father to preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God, God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care, in other places too.

TO TURN ROUND, FACE GOD AND OBEY GOD’S LAWS
Jesus announced that at last the time had come. God’s Kingdom, God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care, is near, is approaching, is coming in, has arrived! Turn from your sins, stop thinking, speaking and acting against God’s Laws and act on this glorious news by obeying God’s Laws instead and doing as he directs.
Mark 1:15
Jesus began to preach and to announce, proclaim, publish openly and publicly and to inculcate, urge and impress his message and teaching upon the minds of his listeners: to preach that all people, indeed everyone, should turn from sin and stop thinking, speaking and acting against God’s Laws and turn and move right around to face God and to obey His Laws and do as He directs, for the Kingdom of God, God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care is near, is approaching, is coming in, has arrived!

Matthew 9:35
Jesus used many illustrations such as parables to teach the people as much as they were ready to understand. In fact, he taught only by illustrations in his public teaching, instructing and directing, but afterwards, when he was alone with his disciples, he would explain his meaning to them.
Mark 4:33-34
Jesus constantly used parables, these stories with a meaning, when speaking to the crowds. In fact, because the prophets, God’s earlier spokesmen, said that he would use so many, he never spoke to them without at least one story. For it had been prophesied, “I will talk in parables; I will explain mysteries, obscure and secret things, hidden since the beginning of time.”
Matthew 13:34-35
Note: Parables are simple stories used to illustrate moral and spiritual principles of right and wrong in human behaviour and the goodness and badness in men and women and boys and girls. Parables are stories which illustrate how the Kingdom of Heaven operates; how God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care actually functions.
What Jesus taught, instructed and directed is widely known, for he preached regularly in the synagogue and Temple. All the Jewish leaders heard Jesus and he taught nothing in private that he didn’t say in public.
John 18:20
Jesus taught, instructed and directed as one who had great authority, legal power and right to rule and control, not as the Jewish leaders taught, by quoting other authorities.
Matthew 7:29

EVIL SPIRITS

Jesus says emphatically that anyone who listens to his message, announcement and communication with information and advice, instructions and directions and believes in God and trusts in, relies on and depends upon God, who sent Him, has eternal, everlasting and unceasing life and vitality and will never be damned and condemned to hell for his or her sins, for his or her thoughts, speech and actions against God’s Laws, but has already passed out of death, where or she perished and ceased to live and ceased to be, into life and vitality.
Jesus solemnly declares that the time is coming, in fact it is here, when the dead shall hear his voice – the voice of the Son of God – and those people who listen shall live.
The Father has life and vitality in himself, and has granted his Son, Jesus to have life and vitality in himself and to test, try and judge the sins, the thoughts, speech and actions against God’s Laws of all mankind, of all human beings, of every person, because he is the Son of Man.
Jesus tells us not to be so surprised. Indeed the time is coming when all the dead people in their graves, all those people, who have perished and ceased to live and ceased to be, shall hear the voice of God’s Son, Jesus and shall rise again – those people who have done good, those people who have obeyed God’s Laws, to eternal, everlasting and unceasing life and vitality; and those people who have continued in evil and ungodliness, by disobeying God’s Laws, to judgment, sentence and punishment.
John 5:24-29
This is the will, wish and desire, the plan, purpose and pleasure of God, that Jesus should not lose even one of all those people God has given him, but that Jesus should raise them to eternal, everlasting and unceasing life and vitality at the Last Day.
For it is the will, wish and desire, the plan, purpose and pleasure of the Father of Jesus that everyone who sees his Son, Jesus and believes on him, trusts in, relies on and depends upon him, should have eternal, everlasting and unceasing life and vitality – that Jesus should raise him and her at the Last Day.

All they needed to do was to trust him, to believe in, rely on and depend upon him to save them, to rescue and keep them secure and unharmed.
All those people who believe this, who trust in, rely on and depend upon this, are reborn – born again, reproduced and brought into a renewed existence – not a physical rebirth, not of bloods, resulting from human passion or plan, from a natural father and mother; but from the will of God, the wish and desire, the plan, purpose and pleasure of God.
John 1:11-13
All people who trust him, all people who believe in, rely on and depend upon him –God’s Son, Jesus – to save them, to rescue and keep them secure and unharmed have eternal, everlasting and unceasing life and vitality.

JESUS, THE TRUE BREAD FROM HEAVEN
And now Jesus’ Father offers us, holds out to us, true, real and actual Bread, Food of Life and Vitality from Heaven. The true, real and actual Bread, Food of Life and Vitality is a Person – Jesus, the one sent by God from heaven, from God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care and He gives Life and Vitality to the world, to the people of the world.
John 6:32-33
Jesus is the Bread of Life, the Food of Life and Vitality. No one, no person, coming to Jesus will ever be hungry again. No one, no person, coming to Jesus will ever lack life and vitality again.

John 6:35
Yes, Jesus is the Bread of Life. Jesus is the Food of Life and Vitality.
John 6:48
There is such a thing as Bread and Food of Life and Vitality from heaven, from God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care, giving eternal, everlasting and unceasing life and vitality to everyone who eats it. And Jesus is that Living Bread, that Living Food that came down out of heaven, from God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care. Anyone eating this Bread, this Food, Jesus, will live and continue in being forever.
Jesus flesh, human body and human nature, is this Bread, this Food, given to redeem humanity, given to rescue, save, deliver and liberate the people of the world from sin, from thoughts, speech and actions against God’s Laws and from death and damnation in hell.
John 6:50-51
With all the earnestness Jesus possesses, he tells us this: Unless we eat and consume the flesh, the human body, the human nature of the Man of Glory and drink his blood, his vital nature, we cannot have eternal, everlasting and unceasing life and vitality within us. But anyone who does eat and consume Jesus’ flesh, human body and human nature and drinks Jesus’ blood and vital nature has eternal, everlasting and unceasing life and vitality and Jesus will raise him and her at the Last Day.
For Jesus’ flesh, human body and nature, is the true, real and actual food and Jesus’ blood and vital nature is the true, real and actual drink.
Everyone who eats and consumes Jesus’ flesh, Jesus’ human body and nature and drinks Jesus’ blood and vital nature is in Jesus’ and Jesus is in him and her. Jesus lives and continues in being by the power of the Living, Continuing and Sustaining Father who sent him, and in the same way those people who partake of Jesus, who participate and share in Jesus, shall live and continue to exist because of Jesus.
Jesus is the true, real and actual Bread and Food from heaven, from God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care. Anyone, any person who eats and consumes this Bread, this Food, Jesus, shall live and continue in being forever and not die and expire as the Jewish fathers did – though they ate bread and food from heaven, from God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care in the wilderness.
John 6:53-59
God has a wonderful gift for us. We may ask Jesus for some living water.
John 4:10
The water Jesus gives us becomes a perpetual spring within us, watering us forever with eternal, everlasting and unceasing life and vitality.

John 6:63
It is necessary to go to Jesus so that he can give us this life and vitality, eternal, everlasting and unceasing.
John 5:40
There is no eternal, everlasting and unceasing doom and destruction awaiting those people who trust Jesus, who believe in, rely on and depend upon Jesus to save them, to rescue and keep them secure and unharmed.

Jesus’ soul was deeply troubled. Should he pray to the Father to save him from what lay ahead?
But that is the very reason why he came.

We must take care to live and continue in being in Jesus and let Jesus live and continue in being in us.
John 15:1-4
We didn’t choose Jesus. Jesus chose us. He appointed us to go and produce good fruit always, so that no matter what we ask for from the Father, using Jesus’ name, the Father will give it to us. Jesus demands, asks for as a right and orders that we like and love each other.

John 16:12
JESUS GOES AWAY AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
ARRIVES
It is best for us that Jesus goes away, for if he doesn’t, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, won’t come. If Jesus does go away, the Comforter will come – for Jesus will send him to us.
John 16:7
When the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, Lawyer, Intercessor, Counsellor, Protector, Helper, Strengthener and Supporter has come, he will convince the people of the world of its and their sin, its and their thoughts, speech and actions against God’s Laws, and of the availability of God’s goodness, and of deliverance from judgment, sentence and punishment.
The people of the world’s sin, its and their thoughts, speech and actions against God’s Laws, is unbelief in Jesus, that is not believing in, trusting in, relying on and depending upon Jesus.
There is righteousness, uprightness and right standing with God available because Jesus goes to the Father and we shall see Jesus no more. There is deliverance from judgment, sentence and punishment because the prince, the ruler of this world, Satan, has already been tested, tried and judged, condemned, sentenced and punished.
John 16:8-11
If we like and love Jesus, we should obey Jesus; we should do as directed by Jesus.
Jesus will ask the Father and the Father will give us another Comforter, and the Comforter will never leave us. The Comforter is the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, Lawyer, Intercessor, Counsellor, Protector, Helper, Strengthener and Supporter, the Spirit who leads into all truth, fact and reality.
The world at large cannot receive him, for the world isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. The people of the world aren’t looking for him and they don’t recognize him. But we recognize him, for he lives and continues in being with us now and some day shall be in us.
No, Jesus will not abandon us or leave us as orphans – Jesus will come to us. In just a little while Jesus will be gone from this world, but Jesus will still be present with us. For Jesus will live and continue in being again and we will too. When Jesus comes back to life again, we will know that Jesus is in the Father, and we are in Jesus and Jesus is in us.
The one who obeys Jesus is the one who likes and loves Jesus. And because he or she likes and loves Jesus, Jesus’ Father will like and love him or her. And Jesus will too and Jesus will reveal and disclose himself to him or her.
John 14:15-21
Jesus will only reveal and disclose himself to those people who like and love him and obey him, who do as directed by him. The Father will like and love them too. And the Father and Jesus will come to them and live and continue in being with them. Anyone who doesn’t obey Jesus, who doesn’t do as Jesus directs, doesn’t like and love Jesus.
John 14:23-24
When the Father sends the Comforter to represent Jesus and, by the Comforter, Jesus means the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, Lawyer, Intercessor, Counsellor, Protector, Helper, Strengthener and Supporter, the Holy Spirit will teach, instruct and direct us much as well as remind us of everything Jesus himself has told us.
Jesus is leaving us with a gift, which is peace, agreement and harmony of mind and heart in the centre of our feelings, impulses, inclinations, affections and desires. And the peace Jesus gives isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. We are not to be troubled or afraid.
Remember what Jesus told us, that he is going away, but he will come back to us again. Now Jesus can go to the Father, who is greater than he is.
Jesus has told us these things before they happen, so that, when they do, we will believe in Jesus, we will trust in, rely on and depend upon Jesus. Jesus will freely do what the Father requires of him, so that the world and the people of the world will know that Jesus likes and loves the Father.
John 14:26-31
When the Holy Spirit, who is truth, fact and reality, comes he will guide us into all truth, fact and reality, for he will not be presenting his own ideas, but he will be passing on to us what he has heard. He will tell us about the future. He will praise and applaud Jesus and bring him great honour by showing us his glory. All the Father’s glory belongs to Jesus. This is what Jesus means when he says that he, the Holy Spirit, will show us Jesus’ glory.
John 16:13-15
Jesus will send us the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, the source of all truth, fact and reality. The Holy Spirit will come to us from the Father and will tell us all about Jesus.
John 15:26
Jesus will send the Holy Spirit upon us, just as Jesus’ Father promised. The Holy Spirit comes and fills us with power from heaven, from God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care.
Luke 24:49
Jesus is the one who baptises, plunges and immerses with and in the Holy Spirit.
John 1:33
Jesus will baptise, plunge and immerse us with and in God’s Holy Spirit.

Jesus shall baptise, plunge and immerse us with and in the Holy Spirit and with and in fire.
Matthew 3:11
Jesus will baptise, plunge and immerse us with fire, that is with the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28:20

When Jesus, the Man of Glory, the Son of Man, comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels, the holy messengers, Jesus will be ashamed then of all who are ashamed of him and ashamed of his words now. Jesus will frustrate then all people who frustrate him and his words now.

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, grinding of teeth and bitter disappointment.
Then the godly will shine as the sun in their Father’s Kingdom, in God the Father’s Home, Rule and Care.
Matthew 13:41-43
