Heavenly Father, we thank You for the indwelling Holy Spirit. You
put a Bible Teacher in our heart. We pray that You would unveil
Jesus to our hearts. We thank You, Lord, for every part of Your
word. In a special way tonight we thank You for John chapter one.
Show us Christ in a living way. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen

We are looking at the great fundamentals of our faith and I think one
of the greatest fundamentals is revelation. Another way to say that
is, “How can we see Jesus when we study the Bible?” We believe

because, you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these
that bear witness of Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me, that
you may have life.” They searched the Scriptures but they didn’t
come to Jesus. John 6:45, “Do not think that I will accuse you before
the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have
set your hope.”

Christians in Ephesians 1:17&18, “That the God of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and
