John 11:8
"His disciples say unto him, Master, the
Jews of late sought to stone thee
and goest thou thither again?"
We may not understand what Jesus says, but it is dangerous to think He was mistaken in what He said. We must never think that our obedience to a Word of God would bring dishonour to Jesus. The only thing that will bring dishonor is not obeying Him. For you or I to put our views before what He is plainly impelling us to do is always wrong. I know when a proposition comes from God because of it's quiet persistence. When I have to weigh the pros and cons, and doubt and debate come in, I am bringing in something that is not of God.
Many of us are loyal to our notions of Jesus Christ, but how many of us are loyal to Him? Loyalty to Jesus means I have to step out into something I can't see. Then I am moving on faith. Faith is deliberate commitment to a person where I see no way.
Are you ready to take a step in faith in Jesus Christ or wait until you can see how to do the thing yourself? Obey Him with reckless joy. Be loyal to Jesus and not to the notion of Him! Be loyal to what He says, and don't compromise with concepts which never came from Him? "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it."
