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, and remind us of who we are.
“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”
These are binary words from Jesus. You cannot dodge them or squeeze around them.
If we are not with Him – There is no middle ground where you absolve yourself and so are okay.
Nope.
The King of all creation states it 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 but YOU.
Please help us to maintain a singular devotion to You, faithful God.
Thank You for Your steadfast love to us.
Amen.
