WEDNESDAY-3rd WEEK OF EASTER-B
I Reading: Acts 8:1-8: They went from place to place.
Gospel: John 6:35-40: It is my Father’s will that whoever sees the Son shall have eternal life.
The Assurance of the Believer, Jn 6:37-40
The believer has great assurance and security.
1.     Assurance 1: God’s predestination (v.37)
2.     Assurance 2: Jesus’ Word (v.37)
3.     Assurance 3: Jesus’ purpose to do God’s will (v.38)
4.     Assurance 4: God’s will for those whom He gives to Christ (v.39)
a.     That Jesus should not lose a single one
b.    That Jesus should resurrect every one
5.     Assurance 5: God’s will for the believers (v.40)
a.     Is eternal life
b.    Result: Jesus “will raise him up”
Thought: The believer is assured of eternal life (Jn 3:16), victory over death (1Cor 15:52-57) and the resurrection (Jn 5:25-29; 11:25).
