Today’s Thought “One Last Bathroom Break” G. Ward

John 12

 ⁴⁶ I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ If anyone hears My teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 

 

Spurious (i.e., disingenuous), would be the tag of Jesus’ inference to the so-called spiritual leaders attending HIS discourse to them; yet, there were others present, who were willing to commit to HIS way. Moreover, these leaders (present) would promote (previously) their impractical and lengthy words to more impress a people and whereas our Lord’s words brought freedom from sin and a peace that assured any of a ministry of presence HE’D provide and whereas those spiritual professors listening would stand confounded, while others would be convinced that HE is/was the Lord, all were offered a chance by our Lord who would soon move on (cf. 1 Cor.2:1-5).

The true test for a believer’s perception of Truth will never listen to great prognosticating from leaders solely pervading good things for all, along with impressive/theatrical discourses from some entirely unavailable to their audiences, but honor spiritual leadership who insist God is Great and we are far less than.
