“Jesus the Time Traveller” can only be recognized by those whose hearts are prepared. He has demonstrated His glory, yet the blindness of human wisdom prevents our identification of Him. The purpose of this message is to open the eyes of the willing and teach us how to live within His eternal kingdom.

MESSAGE STUDY NOTES (also as PDF download above)
********************************************
WARM UP
How do you view your spiritual life? Do you believe you know the difference between your spirit and your brain?
READ
John 8:31-57
KEY INSIGHTS
• Jesus is omnipresent. He is Spirit from Genesis 1 to the end of Revelation.
• Does your spiritual life represent an eternal worldview?
• Living in the eternal worldview is proof that Christ lives in you.
• Jesus challenges us to live in the Spirit and not in the world.
• The pain we encounter lives in the flesh, not in the Spirit.
• Is our visible life a representation of our spiritual life?
• As people encounter Christ in you, they will respond to the truth.
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
1. What are the barriers for you to live a life in the Spirit?
2. How have these truths help you fulfill your life’s calling?
APPLICATION
1. We need to choose to live in the Spirit. This is not natural but is a daily moment by moment choice to counter the world with our eternal victory.
2. Let’s ask God to help us to see people as He does. To see the diamond in the rough. Pearl of great price.
FOR MENTORING
Listen carefully to your mentee’s recent life experience. Ask your mentee if they know how God is using these circumstances to help them to grow closer to Him.
