A Daily Devotional – Personal Faith – Personal Meditation

Comment: In every analogy, someone will come along and find fault. Now there is a reason for this; all analogies or comparisons are like fingerprints, no two are alike. As we move through the gospel of John, we see that The LORD Jesus uses every human means to bring people; even those Jewish scholars, to understand that, He is the WAY and the TRUTH. That He alone was SENT by His Father to reconcile all of mankind back to the Father. We are made in the image of God, but the sin of Adam (a worldwide darkness that prevails over that image) covers us. Only God the Son removes this darkness and restores one’s personal faith in God through the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Messiah/Jesus from the grave. This is the good news; Jesus: The God/man is risen from the dead and He is Alive, see 1 Corinthians 15:20-28.

Devotional: John 7:15 – Now about the middle of the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus went up to the temple and taught. And the Jews (leadership) marveled, saying “How does this ‘man’ know letters (lit: scripture), having never studied?

Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him. Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"

Jesus compares the Words He speaks and the doctrine of His Father to be the SAME; this is not an analogy as some might think or believe. In this statement, like all the Words of Jesus, the ‘fingerprint’ of God the Father and the Son are ALWAYS the same, in that Jesus is as much the Son of God as He is God the Father. We must not lose sight of this while we are presenting Christ/Messiah to those who do not KNOW or BELIEVE that Jesus; God the Son is fully God and fully human. He came by the will of the Father to fulfill the will of God. See Hebrews 10:5-10.
