John 8

This was quite the debate between Jesus and the religious leaders. In the end, the religious leaders found whatever excuse they needed to try to get rid of Jesus. Verse 28 gets my attention, though: Jesus does nothing of himself, but only what the Father taught him and he isn't alone because Father God is there with him and Jesus only does what pleases the Father. Awesome challenge for me! If Jesus, God the Son, was so in line with the Father that he did nothing of himself, where does that leave me? I know I'm not in line with the Father in many areas of my life. I'm glad He allowed me the opportunity to believe in Jesus. Now it's all about consciously acknowledging God's presence and His involvement in ALL areas of my life.
