"Who do you think you are?" John 8:53.
Yeah, right. So. Question, Jesus: Just what do you make of yourself? Here's the answer bank - (1) You lack full humanity. Or, (2) You lack clear thinking. Or, (3) You lack legitimate birth. Or, (4) You lack real truth. Choose your answer! So. Jesus witnesses: (a) I do not have a demon. And, (b) I do not seek my own glory. And, (c) God seeks my glory. And, (d) Whoever keeps my word will not die. And, (e) I know God. And, (f) I do not lie to say I know God. And, (g) I tell the truth. And, (h) I keep God's word. And, (i) I was alive before ancestor Abraham existed. So. Jesus' question to us: Shall we throw stones at this pretender? Or. Shall we keep his word?
We meet today with a brother or sister exactly because we have chosen to keep his word faithfully for life. And, together, we give thanks to God for Jesus who kept his word faithfully to death.
