Praise human preferred over Godly glory

Although he had performed so many signs in their presence they did not believe in him, in order that the word which Isaiah the prophet spoke might be fulfilled:
“Lord, who has believed our preaching, to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?” For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said: “He blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not see with their eyes and understand with their heart and be converted, and I would heal them.”

Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke about him. Nevertheless, many, even among the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge it openly in order not to be expelled from the synagogue. For they preferred human praise to the glory of God. John 12:37-43

John 12:37-43

Seeking the praise of human desires avoids God’s glory wanting a life of self purposely blinding their eyes and shutting their heart hardened by the life of the world. God most assuredly placed a plan into action for humanity acknowledging that many would deny or even try and understand the healing Jesus represents in the ones like me and you who are converted.

Jesus refers to Prophets of Old to aid in his poise of all things the human race will admit or deny His trace.We will always think the praise of others will be something special we seek from the different instances of charity yet the things that I believe are so important for us to live as a light of Christ is to remind people the glory of God outweighs the praises human. Self-seeking praises can come in so many different ways where financial gain is as much the culprit as the desire to be patted on the back. What feels good in Charity is the Christ we share as praise and worship. Amen.

Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. Prayers for all who have asked us to pray for them or we said we’d pray for. Prayers for JSRW. IN Jesus Name. Amen.

Praise human preferred over Godly glory

Him believed not though signs many performed
Fulfilling prophet Isaiah’s prediction
Revealed Lord who preaching believed misinformed
Reason believe not interdiction

Saying Isaiah eyes blinded heart hardened
Eyes see not conversion heart thwarted
Them heal Jesus would be the heart retardant
He spoke Christ glory seen Messiah supported

Him believe by authorities many
Acknowledge not by Pharisees story
Synagogue expelled openly acknowledge Him any
Praise human preferred over Godly glory

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do! I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650. I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect. I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain, Yours in Christ, Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
