John 10:41
John did not miracle but all things that John spoke of this man are true.
If we who are Baptists truly claim to follow the teaching of John the Baptist then this passage ought to become a signal verse for us. Ours is not to make much of ourselves.
• We do not need to have the people speaking about the great things we have done.
• We do not need to have recorded the miracles of our lives and ministries.
This one thing ought to be our interest; that what we have spoken about Jesus is true.
It is more than a simple affirmation I am after here. Some things that have been spoken about Jesus are not true. Especially some things spoken about what Jesus loves are not true. Too many apply the "What would Jesus do?" question without discerning what He would really do but give instead what they think He should have done.
