Verse 18; No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. Jesus from the moment of creation had eternal life. He has the power to raise the dead to life again. Jesus, the Son of God, is not a coward and does not fear death. When he prayed that the burden be lifted from him it was, not fear of pain or death. Jesus feared being Sin, as he had to become the Sin of Christians and kill it on the cross. In that way his followers were cleansed. Jesus knew that the moments before death when he became sin that God, his father, would reject him. That separation from God is what Jesus feared. That is the pain that is unbearable. Jesus proved he became Sin when he shouted out, asking My God why has thou forsaken me? This is the lie Satan wanted the world to hear, to spread doubt in the minds of mankind. If God rejected Jesus then everything Jesus taught is a lie. God rejected Sin, not his Son Jesus.

A strong thought here why would God talk to himself, Jesus was not crazy, God is not neither. He did not have a split personality. Jesus said the father is greater than I. Greater means plural more than one great greater. Please open your bible to John 14:28 and help me understand this reasoning that Jesus is his father first born. God and Jesus do not play games, they have no split personality sicknesses. John 5:36 he said the father sent him here. I am thinking Jesus said clearly his father sent him. God can do anything, God does not have to pretend he is Jesus and act like a split personality like a sibling. God and Jesus do not talk to themselves and confuse people. We must understand the devil knows the scriptures inside out. In John 20:17, Jesus was talking to a person there, Jesus does not lie. Jesus saith unto her touch me not for I am not yet ascended to my father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my father, and your father: and to my God, and your God. Does everyone think Jesus was crazy? Jesus told the people in John 14:10, Jesus said the father is in him and he is in the father, but here again Jesus says I speak not of myself: but the father that dwelleth in me. Jesus takes no credit for the things he did but said the father doeth the works, the holy spirit speaks, comes in people but they are not the holy spirit. I cover this message with the blood of Jesus. Amen.

The gospel according to John centers it's thoughts on intimate relationship. The hope is that we will recognize the importance of having, and the need to have the kind of relationship with God, that the Son has! After all, these works and greater shall we be able to do through intimate relationship with God The Father, through God the Son!

It is interesting that 2000 years since His first Advent, they are still struggling with Jesus being God. They called it blasphemy then, and would do so now. Yet in His second Advent He will come riding on the clouds, and all kindred on earth will see Him, and they will wail for Him whom they pierced. Receive the Son today, and He will be your Savior. May the risen Lord bless you this Holiday Season.

According to the Christians, Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) is God. And similarly Jesus Christ (pbuh) was crucified and died. So what I want say that's (according to the Christians), Almighty God had died. Imagine, Almighty God, He had crucified! He had died!
Vincent's comment on 12/20/2012, 5:31pm...
Like a lot of you, I have struggled with the understanding of the Holy Trinity. I sometimes think of the hymn Abide In Me (I believe that is the title) with the line "God in three persons, blessed Trinity" it plainly is saying that God is also the Son and Holy Spirit. A local pastor who had gained some widespread renown, said, God the Father is all there is, The Holy Spirit is all we will feel, and Jesus is all we will ever see. For now this works for me until someone convinces me differently. But isn't the reality of everything based on the love we have for Him in our hearts and the salvation of everlasting life as the promise?

Jesus was God in the flesh. Read John 1:1,14. Oh the beauty of the "One God" revelation !!!
Jerry's comment on 12/13/2012, 8:27pm...
Jesus is not GOD. He and the Father are of one mind and one accord but he is not God. He is and individual. When he was baptized in the river Jordan, you had Jesus standing on earth the Father speaking from heaven and the Holy Ghost descending in the form of a dove. The Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, of one mind and accord but of three individuals.

To the guy who says Jesus is not God, I urge you to read verse 30, He says I and my father are one. He was going to be stoned for saying so. He is God in the flesh, or God among us. However you want to see it. He tells the Pharisees before Abraham was born "I am" this means he is God.

In your experience.....what is the "abundant life" that Jesus spoke of and how is it experiencially different from "life."

John 10:28 When Jesus said I give unto my sheep eternal life, and they shall never perish. This is the doctrine of eternal security, and no one can take the salvation from anyone who has been born into the family of God. Now believers can lose their rewards. Revelation 3:10 Jesus tells the churches to see that no man take your reward. Jesus is the door for the sheep. There is only one way to the Father, and that is through Jesus. All others trying to get to the Father without going through the door are thieves, and robbers. The passage in Hebrews 6 is talking about people who have crucified the Lord of glory, these are not Christians. Jesus said you must be born again to inherit the Kingdom of God. If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation, and the old is gone, while the new man is formed. When one is a Christian he is dead to sin, and raised to new life in Christ. Paul said I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, but the life I live by faith in the Son of God who loves me, and gave Himself for me. Jesus is our advocate before the Father. So we are secure in Jesus Christ our Savior.
Darrell Light's comment about verse 18 on 7/26/2012, 11:38pm...
This is one of my favorite verses in the new testament. Why I like it, is because it distingushes God from his Son. So many churches today say that the Christ was and is God, here He clearly states that he is not God and yet of God so that makes Him God-like, as long as he will do the Father's will at any cost, for he has the choice not to if he and His own will wants to. Most churches that believe that He is God say that when he says phrases similar to this, is that He is teaching the people to be where he is, but this verse is not a lesson..nobody can lay down their life and take it again on their own accord, unless you have a commandment from above to do so. only the Son of God, and God himself has that power to my knowledge so I will continue my journey to know God through His Son the Christ 2 separate and yet 1.

It answers a question and begets another. Who besides the Gentile are included in "another fold"

John 10:30,"I and my Father are one.Jesus is God,1:14,"and the word was made flesh,God(the spirit,the word, was made flesh and dwelt among-us. I have the power to give life, and to take it away,can you add one inch of stature to your-self?God can,now go and tell no-one,that's what Jesus said over and over as not to give the glory to the flesh!God is spirit and no man has seen the Father, you need to be a glorified body to see the Father...

satan came for destruction and Jesus come to set us free .
Bobby Curtis's comment about verse 34 on 7/17/2011, 10:36am...
I believe that Jonh 10 may refer back to PS 97:7 and 82:6. An interesting fact is that the "are" in PS 82:6 is not there in the earlier english versions, ie 1706 authorized KJV. This one word completely changes the contextual implied meaning of the verse. I am leaning toward believing that the idea of men being refered to as gods may originate in Genesis 1:26 & 27 where God says let us make "man in our image" and then gave them the ability to create life, "multiply," and gave them dominion over the life on earth. This seems very god like to me.
StephendeRafael's comment on 7/03/2011, 12:54pm...
In this Chapter Our lord and Master Jesus proclaims his office, as our shepherd . One who watches over and guides, leads and saves from the wolf, who is the Devil. Many have claimed to be shepherd but they all were only thieves and robbers, pretending to care to win self glorification. Jesus alone laid down his life on earth for his sheep in order to demonstrate what what the true life was, in heaven, eternally alive at the right hand of God. Not God himself but at the right hand of God, but so identified with God that they were as One. He being full of the Holy Ghost was sent by God for our salvation from the wickedness of the Devil who threatens to take souls away from the Father. But the Father is stronger than all and if we are the sheep that hears and honors the shepherd we are not jeopardized by the wolf. We follow the shepherd down the narrow or straight path to the door of eternal life.

In response to ApostlicTeen's John Chapter 10 comment:-
Jesus is the son of God, if you have read your Bible you will know that he gave his only son to cleanse us of our sins, alas, we are all sinners. They are certainly not one person and this obviously needs clarifying.
Thank you

Fools, you are suppose to live my sight. Jesus gave sight to the blind. He said that those who say that they can see will be made blind, those who are blind will see.
Manilka's comment on 1/11/2011, 5:35am...
@Gahambo: It is a thing many Christians worry about as they do not know what it really means. Read Psalm 82:6 and Ephesians 5:1. Simply it does not mean "ye are God" instead it means "ye are gods".
Gahambo's comment about verse 34 on 1/06/2011, 12:27pm...
I know that Christ is God and I believe any reference that quotes about Christ being God is my belief. But, I never encountered and, in fact, did not take a closer look at the text which credits sinful men as "God." Do you have any idea about the implication of John 10:34?
Thanks,
Gahambo
ApostlicTeen's comment on 10/24/2010, 10:19pm...
John 10:30 "I and my Father are one" I don't understand what people don't get, because it says Jesus(as being I) and God(as being my Father) are one! So, that tells us that it's ONE person! Jesus and God ARE the SAME! There is NOT 3 or 2! It's ONE!
Bruce M. Devitt's comment on 9/18/2010, 4:57pm...
Jesus's hour is under the authority of commandment . It is by commandment from his father that gives him the power to lay down his life - when ? - the passover . Who would lead you to break commandment ?
