As I read this it made me do some thinking:
John 8:44
44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
Can Jesus say this about you or I this morning? He can if we have not asked Jesus to be our Savior! This verse can be a check on our salvation. Do you have the desires of Christ or the devil? Their is no middle road. This verse says the devil is a murderer. Maybe you have not physically killed someone but the Word of God also says if we have hate in our heart then we have committed murder! Are you a person of truth? Always telling the truth even when it hurts? Are you always fair in your dealings with other people? The devil is a liar, thief, murderer, and every other evil thing! And the Father of all these. We must make sure we are not a child of his, but a child of the King! A truth teller, giving, life protecting, kind, and loving person!
So again this morning...let us look at ourselves and see who we are a child of....Jesus or the devil! Remember there is no in between! You are one or the other!
