Lady of Light
In John 5:43-44, Jesus says:
"I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe which receive honour one of another and seek not the honor that come from God only?"
In those days, the Pharisees criticized Jesus for healing on the Sabbath and they didn't have a clear vision. Are we sometimes also influenced by ones who come "in their own name"? We have many ceremonies honoring men, awards for performances, Nobel peace prizes and other forms of recognition that we give to each other. It is important that we do not forget that "Apart from God, we can do nothing" and that all honor is due him first and foremost.
As you read these verses, and perhaps the rest of John, Chapter Five that is written in Jesus' words, that you pray for a clear vision of who He is and who God is, deserving of all honor above all else.
God Bless you and have a great day!
