Inner voice

Joh 6:68-69 ……"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."

I said something very like it.
Yet you couldn’t say a more outrages thing in the eyes of the world.
What you mad! Follow this guy you never met or spoken to, all based on this book of writings? Where is his proof? Show me his authority.

And they are kinda right. All he has ever (seems to have) done for us is made promises and spoken of unseen things.
In
2Co 4:16 -18 "So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day.
For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal".
and
2Pe 3:13 "But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Promises, promises of the unseen".

I wasn’t there when he raised people from the dead or healed the sick.
I can honestly say I have never seen a miracle! Well… except those common ones, the coming up of the sun in the morning, the birth of a child, the turning of the world all of which I can see. Apart from these common things, I have never ever seen a miracle. All he offers are words about unseen things and a bunch of people who said they saw stuff.
I didn’t see it. Of that am I convinced, of that I am 100% sure.

But yet when He speaks, when he speaks all ears take captive His every word!
And I believe.
When he speaks he mesmerizes us, overwhelms us, startles us, shames us, lifts us up, encourages us and breaks our hearts, to who else shall we go?
He empowers us, informs us, gives us life, because when he speaks, it is as if He has authority.

Why is that?
Why does he so impress us.
John 10:27 ff has the answer, it says
"My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me, I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand".

My sheep, they know my voice.
They hear it and know me. They follow.

There is something intuitive about knowing it's your maker that is speaking.
That's good.

I Know that voice, the one who speaks, he is my eternal sanctuary, my safe haven, my refuge, my Lord.
Ps 23 says it well.

"A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever".

Yes we shall

"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life,

This will only have meaning for you if you have faith in His book which I do if you don't that's something we can talk about.
