Reading
SAA Notes
This passage is a demonstration of yesterday’s reading. Miracles by themselves are not enough to convince someone about Jesus. Someone else’s work is needed in the mind and heart. What lesson does Jesus call us to take in verse 23?
SJA Notes
* Lord God, thank You for Your word to us. Please reveal a little more of who You are today, remind us of our need for You.
“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”
These are ones and zeros binary words from Jesus. You cannot dodge them or squeeze around them.
If we are not with Him – There is no middle ground, no absolutions, no half-way measurement.
The King of all creation is clear.
If you are not in His kingdom, one of His people, if you are not working for Him, submitting under and going about His will, humbly seeking His face – Then you are against Him.
This is a hard word.
It is good to be reminded of this.
* Father God,
Please continue to remind us of who You are. Of Your jealous love for us. We are to have no other gods.
Please help us maintain a singular devotion to You, God of faithfulness
Thank You for Your steadfast love shown to us.
Amen.
