"'Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved
by my Father, and I too will love him and
show myself to him.'"

(JOHN 14:21)

John 7:1-31
When the one who is taking those first steps out of darkness into light begins to search earnestly for truth, it’s natural to want to have proof; to know from personal experience and then make a firm commitment to accept it as fact. Don’t we all want to see first and then believe?


The people listening to Jesus teach were struggling to decide whether He could be their Messiah, the anointed One for whom they were waiting. They recognized His amazing knowledge of spiritual things; they witnessed the miracles He performed; yet their religious leaders denounced Him as an imposter.


The solution Jesus offered contradicted logic: yield your will to God’s, and then you’ll know what is true. Our way is to “know” first and then choose to surrender our will to His. Might it be time to toss logic aside and choose to believe and obey Him? Watch how He proves Himself to you! If you are searching, may this be the year Jesus reveals Himself to you, so that you will never doubt
His divinity, but will know Him as Lord.
