Name: John 5:31-47 “Whose approval are you living for?” (Dec 4th, 25)
Description: They would accept any messiah that came along whose ideas on how to find acceptance with God didn't challenge their own. But they couldn't believe in Jesus. For everything that Jesus did and said laid bare the fact that even though they thought they were pleasing God, they were simply pleasing each other. They didn't love God. They loved themselves. And so they did not love the one whom God sent.
