to do.

Jesus came back at them, “Don't crowd

me. This isn't my time. It's your time-- it's

always your time; you have nothing to

lose. The world has nothing against you,

but it's up in arms against me. It's against

me because I expose the evil behind its

pretensions. You go ahead, go up to the

Feast. Don't wait for me. I'm not ready. It's

not the right time for me.”

John 7:6-8

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.“ They answered him, "We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, 'You will become free'?“ Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

John 8:31-36 (ESV)

seek not my own will but the will of him

who sent me.

I am the vine; you are the branches.

Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is

that bears much fruit, for apart from me

you can do nothing.
