RE: The Gospel of JOHN

in #reliquary6 years ago

My lessons are drawn from vv 12 -16:

There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].” -v.12

Despite the great thing and freedom Christ preached to the people, everyone never came to a consensus of this. Yet, this did not deter Christ from teaching. He heard their arguments , yet was not upset , neither proud. He was conscious of God's will which brought Him to earth. In the same vein, we all have to be conscious of our purpose on earth. Everyone may not welcome or accept us. This should not be a reason to give-up. We should see our assignment beyond the control of mere men. God is the rewarder and He will keep equipping you as He did to Christ to the marvel of all around you.

Then the Jews were perplexed. They said, “How did this man become learned [so versed in the Scriptures and theology] without formal training?” Jesus answered them by saying, “My teaching is not My own, but His who sent Me. vv. 15-16

God bless the reading of His word - Amen.

Thank you @reliquary
