Genealogy by Gary Rose

When my oldest granddaughter was born, I wanted to give her a gift; I decided on investigating our families' genealogy. I knew then, as I do now, that knowing where you come from will aid in discovering who you are.

This picture caught my eye, not only because its cute, but because my wife has a picture of her parents in the same pose.  Having living parents is a good thing, but to Jesus of Nazareth, on at least one occasion it proved a problem...

John, Chapter 6 (World English Bible)

 ³⁵ Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.   ³⁶  But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe.   ³⁷  All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.   ³⁸  For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.   ³⁹  This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.   ⁴⁰  This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” 

  ⁴¹ The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”   ⁴² They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’” (emp. added vs. 42)
  ⁴³ Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.   ⁴⁴  No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.   ⁴⁵  It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’  Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, comes to me.   ⁴⁶  Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.   ⁴⁷  Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.   ⁴⁸  I am the bread of life.   ⁴⁹  Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.   ⁵⁰  This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.   ⁵¹  I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

Jesus was truly God and truly man. That's are hard thing for some people to understand at times, but true.  His sacrifice for us gives us hope and his resurrection from the dead gives us proof.  Believe or don't believe- that's up to you; but the difference between the two is the separation between Heaven (with God) and HELL (with Satan).

I strongly urge you to believe!!!
