Love others and let God be the Judge

from Live to Love Scripture Encouragement · host Norm Wakefield

John 8:48-50, The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?" Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.” We see that Satan’s tactics haven’t changed. When truth and reality are not on your side, attack the messenger with false accusations. They did it in Jesus’ day and still do it today. Censor the truth by demonizing the ones who speak it in hopes people will ignore what’s being said and buy into the lie. Beware those who attack the character of people and refuse to seek the truth. The sure way to walk in the truth is to live to love with Jesus. They say He has a demon because He honors His Father and speaks the truth. They totally misunderstood Jesus because He wasn’t what or who they were expecting. What can we learn? May we honor all those who honor the Father. That is the spirit of Christ. We honor the Father by loving with Jesus. Jesus honors the Father by loving with Him. Jesus did not seek His own glory after healing people. The Father glorified His Son by healing when Jesus spoke in His name. That’s why He said previously that He honored His Father. We follow this pattern as we love in Jesus’ name, trusting Him to glorify His name. We don’t love so people will give us glory. We should love for His glory and namesake. The Father seeks those who worship Him in Spirit and truth, and He’s the One who judges if Jesus’ life is the genesis of everyone’s worship. We give Jesus the worship He deserves as we love with Him today. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of "giving it forward," so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.
