Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Doug Griebenaw, mission advocate for KFUO Radio in St. Louis, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study John 8:48-59. The Jews disputing with Jesus attempt to insult Jesus by labeling Him a Samaritan, and they attempt to discredit Jesus by saying He must have a demon. Jesus tells them that He does not have a demon, for He only honors His Father, who is the Judge. Those who keep Jesus’ Word, however, need not fear judgment, for they are saved from death. Those listening only become further convinced that Jesus is demon-possessed, yet Jesus only continues to emphasize His connection to the Father and the truth that Abraham believed in Him ahead of time. Jesus lays everything on the table when He climactically states that He is the one true God: “Before Abraham was, I AM!” Though the Jews are ready to stone Jesus for such a statement, we rejoice in the truth that Jesus is God in the flesh to be our Savior. “The Word Made Flesh” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Gospel according to St.
