READ
So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me; 17 if any man’s will is to do his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. 18 He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. (John 7:16–18, RSV2CE)
REFLECT
Jesus Says:
His teaching is not from himself. His teaching is the Will of God. If I want to do The Father’s Will I must do Jesus’ teachings since they are The Father’s teachings.
If someone speaks on his own authority they see glory for themselves. If someone seeks the glory of The Father, that person is True and not false. (Many people misinterpret the Bible-only the church has the authority-even the devil knows scripture-the Bible is not authority by itself-we need true interpretation)
Since Jesus seeks the Glory of The Father, Jesus is True with no Falsehood. I can Trust Him and His teachings to tell me the will of God.
PRAY
Jesus, thank you for bringing me into your church. Thank you for guiding me to truth. I believe You. I believe your teaching. I believe you want Glory for the Father. I too want to glorify Him and walk in His will. Help me hear and stay close. Please help your church interpret the Scripture correctly. It is very dark here. Only you have the Words of eternal life! I need you! Holy Spirit Come! Amen.
