ThoughtForWeek - 4th Sunday in May

John 8:31-36

"Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you abide in
My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free."

"They answered Him, "We are Abraham's offspring, and have never yet been enslaved
to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You shall become free'?"

"Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the
slave of sin. And the slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain
forever."

"If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed." John 8:31-36
(NAS)

Easy-to-Read Version:

"So Jesus said to the Jews that believed in him, "If you continue to obey my teaching,
then you are truly my followers. Then you will know the truth. And the truth will
make you free."

"The Jews answered, "We are Abraham's people. And we have never been slaves. So
why do you say that we will be free?"

"Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth. Every person that sins is a slave. Sin is
his master. A slave does not stay with a family forever. But a son belongs to the
family forever."

"So if the Son makes you free, then you will be truly free." John 8:31-36 (ERV)
