John 7:1-24

Selected word
Verses 17-18

A title
Let's be those who want to do God's will and seek the glory of God

​
17
If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.

18
He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

​

Jesus went up to Judea on the Feast of Booths, a Jewish holiday, but did not do what his brothers asked for, but went up secretly after waiting for God's time.

He taught God's Word to the temple during the feast in Judea.

The Jews judged Jesus by appearance, not by justice, by saying, "You haven't learned anything about Jesus, and who wants to kill you? A demon was possessed."

But Jesus said that if a person tries to do God's will about Jesus' words and instruction, he will know whether this instruction is from Jesus himself or from God.

And he said that those who teach lessons for themselves, for themselves, seek only their own glory, but those who seek the glory of God who sent Jesus are true and there is no injustice in them.

Jesus wanted to do God's will.

And he sought the glory of the one who sent him, God.

Those who opposed Jesus pursued not God's will, but man's instruction and Jewish customs, and sought their own glory, not God's.

So, he judged Jesus by his appearance and was angry that Jesus healed man completely on the Sabbath.

Like the words of Jesus given today, you will apply to be a person who wants to do God's will and seeks the glory of God.

We look back on whether the things we do in our day-to-day life and actions in our daily life are motivated to do God's will, and we hope to become a person who seeks the glory of God.

Thus, you experience that the words of Jesus are lessons from God and apply to others as well.
