John 6:37-40 KJV 37All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.



Jesus tells us He is our Master and we have been given to Him by the Father. That He came down from heaven to do the Fathers will, which was to save all He had been given (because we could not save ourselves) and He will raise us up whether dead or alive on the last day. That everyone who sees or believes on Him will live with Him forever in heaven.

John 14:2-3 KJV 2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Not all Bible translations say mansions but we do have a description of the New Jerusalem in Revelation and I'll accept the word mansion since the streets will be paved in gold, the walls and floors are made out of jewels and the gates made with giant pearls.

My creator sent His only begotten, His essence from the very beginning, to earth to pay our penalty so we could live with Him forever. He is preparing a mansion even as I am writing this and then promises to return for us so that we can live with Him.



2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

The creator of the heavens and the earth, who put the stars in their places and called them by their name, who had all the riches of the universe at His command, came to earth giving up everything that was His to become poor, never owning anything but the clothes He wore and the shoes on His feet that we who accept His sacrifice might become co-heirs with Him in all the riches of heaven.



John 1:14 KJV And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 3:3 KJV Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

1 Peter 1:23 KJV Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

God came to earth in the flesh to give His life so that we, His creation, could be born again, to be raised with an incorruptible body, a body that will never suffer want, pain or hunger, a body that will never again know the curse of sin, a body like unto His as He ascended into heaven after His resurrection. How do I become born again? Let's ask Jesus!



John 3:4-7 KJV 4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again.

When we accept the finished work of the Christ, surrender ourselves to Him, confess and repent (turn away) from our sins we receive the Holy Spirit as our guide and seal from God that we are His for eternity.



There is much more to learn if we are to come to a full realization of just "who Jesus is" and know what He gave and did to save us. It's by knowing Him and what He did for us that we learn how to walk with Him and attain the abundant life He has promised all His children.

This is another teaching lesson Mom Shirley sent to help us learn who truly Jesus the Christ really is so we can come to know the Saviour she walks with daily. Is it not what He asks each of us to do? Go and preach the gospel so that all the Father gave Him will live with Him forever. It's all part of learning how to "Dance with God."
