March 8, 2015 – Audio Sermon on John 8 48 to 59 by Pastor William Hixson
A heated exchange occurs as Jesus claims preexistence and unity with the Father provoking accusations of blasphemy The confrontation deepens the conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders and clarifies his divine identity The passage shows how revelation can intensify opposition even as it calls some to faith and exposes the stakes of confessing Christ
