Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Jesus the Son of Man” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed to the Pharisees that He is Truly the “Son of Man;” the awaited “Messiah,” who is sent by God the Father. And, that only after He is Crucified and Rises to Life; will they believe, in Him. Ponder on, “Only with God’s Gift of Faith can we believe and live Jesus’ Gospel of Salvation.

John 8:23-30
Jesus said to the Pharisees: ‘You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I have told you already: You will die in your sins. Yes, if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.’
So they said to him, ‘Who are you?’ Jesus answered: ‘What I have told you from the outset. About you I have much to say and much to judge; but the one who sent me is true, and what I declare to the world I have learnt from him.’ They did not recognise that he was talking to them about the Father.
So Jesus said: ‘When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am He and that I do nothing of my own accord. What I say is what the Father has taught me; he who sent me is with me, and has not left me to myself, for I always do what pleases him.’ As he was saying this, many came to believe in him.
