*THE TRUE VINE* 
TRUE – Alethia –well in this here it is alethine Adjective-NomitiveFirstPersonSingular, but you don’t need to know that…. from last week, alaithia means Reality, or Ideal as in a perfect reality…..
VINE --- ámpelos ("vine") is also used symbolically of Christless Judaism and apostate Christianity (Rev 14:18,10), i.e. the (external) religious body of people which merely pretends to bear fruit but is in fact fruitless. Only Christ Himself is the true Vine, in whom the people of God are formed…

*Romans 11:11-28 ---- *

We are to receive Jesus altogether. It will not do to take what we like and reject what we don’t like.
There must be constant communion. This is the first act of real prayer. No Communion means a prayerless life, which means a life without Christ WORKING in it, a life without Christ working will lead to a life without consistent faith,  On such a branch the husbandman (God the Father) looks with suspicion. Does He give the fullness to the one who isn’t fully invested?

*Matthew 5:48* “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”---- teleios --- complete the cycle
*My challenge to you is to be in Constant Communion with Jesus this week.*

THE WAY – hood-os' the, road --- Metaphorically,
THE TRUTH –  a -lay'-thee-a – not concealed --- other places truth is used it is Amen (aw-mane)
THE LIFE – zóé –-- life you have zóon which means animal life (as in the Zoo) life, both of physical (present) and of spiritual (particularly future) existence. z?? – life (physical and spiritual). All life (2222 /z??), always and (only) comes from and is sustained by God'.

SO Jesus is:
    1. The Way – to be like Him is the only way to get to Heaven
    2) The Truth or Reality – He is whether you agree or not.
    3) The Life – the only way to experience anything in life worth experiencing is to to be brought to life for the first time.
SEE, YOU CAN BE ALIVE AND NOT REALLY LIVING!
THE ONLY WAY TO FREE FROM THE STENCH OF DEATH IS TO BE IN CHRIST

Lazarus is also known in the Gospels as “Simon the Leper” it is likely the Leprosy is in fact what killed him. He had two sisters Mary and Martha, (Matthew 26:6) it describes Jesus being at his house within the week of Passover, which means he did not have Leprosy at that time, because you had to be clean for 40 days after touching a leper.

*1 Jesus is the passage of admission to Heaven.*
*Ephesians 2:18* For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

*Jesus is the absolute Provider and Proprietor of these blessings.*
*Matthew 7:13-14* Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
*Romans 5:2* By Jesus we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

*Jesus is the Guardian of these blessings.*
*Acts 7:45*(go there)
*Joshua 5:10-15* (go there)

*So what?* 
*Matthew 7:13-14* says There are thousands in search for the door and cannot find it.

Scripture: John 8:12-37

1) Believe Jesus -  imperfect faith is all that Jesus asks for..... believe Him.

 2) Believe on Jesus - in the words of Isaiah, 'Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, a sure Foundation'; and, as the Apostle Peter comments, 'He that believeth on Him shall not be confounded.' 

3) Believe into Jesus - Into Jesus, think Growth, growing into Jesus, progress, progressing into Jesus, getting nearer and nearer to Christ, yearning more and more with desire for Him! To be close, to understand Him, TO BE LIKE HIM.

John 6:20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Bread is NECESSARY food. Other things may be dispensed with, but all need bread, All need it — old and young, weak and strong. We NEED IT DAILY and Hunger a Sign of Health.

There is a Seed of the Serpent doctrine out there, that is hogwash, it is made up. The text says Adam knew, as in carnal knowledge...

Verse 1- nachash = as a Noun - serpent (slick or shiny like brass or polished copper) as a VERB - to practice divination, observe signs, or a NOUN it could mean “enchantment” the word ne-chu-shah = copper there is some word play going on, because in the Egyptian Creation we went over last week, they used Frogs to represent Men, and Snakes to represent women. And it says the serpent was arom - crafty/subtil/shrewd...

I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between Egyptian Creations Myths and Genesis 1 & 2...

Question: Are Tattoos Sinful?

One of the worst things the modern church/christianity has turned into is a reactionary animal! PAUL told us to be trend setters. He said to basically ignore what everyone else is doing, do our own thing, live in the world but be not of it. Don’t tell them they are evil and going to hell, show them how much better the peace and love of Jesus is in your life. Live Well! And make them jealous, make them WANT what you have.

The Bible is full of people getting second chances, and none more obvious than Saul's conversion from a murderous pharisee, to Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles and father of the Greek and Gentile church.

This sermon gets pretty personal as we look at WHY God chose a poor carpenter to be our Lord's step-father. Why he chose the lowest of the low to announce His Coming, and what Christ's coming should mean to us as a BODY of Believers.....
