1. I know him (25-29)
Jesus was a man with a mission. He was sent by his Father on a rescue mission into a sinful world to bring dying men back to God. He came as the culmination of God's redemptive history. He was the promised Christ. But many people saw him with human eyes and could not recognize him. He plainly announced, 'I am not here on my own, but he who sent me is true...I know him because I am from him and he sent me.' Those who loved truth put their faith in him.
2. Where I am you cannot come (30-36)
When many people put their faith in Jesus, the Pharisees tried to arrest him; they failed, because his time to die as the Lamb of God had not yet come. They thought he was planning a trip overseas. Jesus told them plainly that unspiritual men who refused to believe in the one sent by God could not go to the heavenly kingdom.
Application: Lord, thank you for coming to rescue me from sin and death. I believe and know that you are the only way to God.
One Word: Jesus came to give life
