WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME 19 John 7:16-20
Jesus answered, “What I teach is not my own
teaching, but it comes from God, who sent me. Whoever is willing to do what God
wants will know whether what I teach comes from God or whether I speak on my
own authority.

A person who speaks on his own authority is
trying to gain glory for the one who sent him is honest, and there is nothing
false in him. Moses gave you the Law,
didn’t he? But not one of you obeys the Law. Why are you trying to kill me?
“You have a demon in you!” the crowd answered.
“Who is trying to kill you?”
Lord
Jesus Christ, are we different from the crowd? How often our societies have
destroyed and kill those who are gifted. Those who would have been of great value
to our society are killed out of hatred and jealousy. This is still happening
in our world. Save us Lord from the evil
one. I appreciate your teaching me the Lord’s Prayer.
We too
can be like the crowd in our ignorance; we may not understand the evils that
are perpetrated in our world by those we trust.
