Weekday Devotional with William Barclay - The Witness of God

Daily Devotions with William Barclay

365 Meditations on the Heart of the New Testament

 

The Witness of God

 

Scripture:  John 5:37-43

Reflection:

Why didn't the Jewish leaders believe God sent Jesus and the scriptures pointed to Jesus even though they were the scholars of the Law and Scriptures?

Why do we read the Bible with closed minds?

What type of Messiah was the Jewish leaders looking for in life?  What type of Christ are you expecting in your life?  Does your expectation align with the scriptures?

 

Prayer: God, as we reflect on scriptures, teach us to read with an open mind and remind us how you continue to reveal yourself to us through your actions.  Amen.
