life in himself. so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. And he has given
him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.” (John $:24-27)

~All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will
never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to
do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I
shall lose none of all that he has given me. but raise them up at the last day. For
my Father's will is that every one who looks to the Son and believes in him shall
have eternal life. and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6.3740)

“Lam the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the
wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the
flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares
nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd: | know my sheep and my sheep
know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father~and I lay down
my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must
bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock
and one shepherd.” (John 10:1 1-16)

“Lord.” Martha said to Jesus. “if sou had been here, my brother would not have
died. But | know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” Jesus said
to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha answered, “I know he will rise
again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her. “1 am the resurrection
and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives
and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” “Yes, Lord.” she told him,
“t believe that you are tbe Christ. the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
(John t):21-27)

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust also in me. In ms
Father's house are many rooms: if it were not so. 1 would have told you. | am
going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, [
will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where | am.
You know the way to the place where | am going.” Thomas said to him. “Lord.
we don't know where you are going. so how can we know the way?” Jesus
answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.“ John 14: f-61

People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the
disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them.
“Let the little children come to me. and do not hinder them. for the kingdom of
God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, any one who will not receive the
kingdom of God tike a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in
his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them. ( Mark 1(:13-16+
