Topic: God or Man Pleasers
John 5:43-44, “I come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his name, ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?”
Text: John 5:28-47
This is about the fact that Jesus came in the power and authority of His Father to point men to Father God. Jesus existed before His advent on this earth in the form of God and was equal to God. Yet, He humbled Himself and became a servant here on earth (Phil. 2:6-8).
He did not come to promote Himself but to give His life to provide the way to the Father (Jn. 14:6). In the same way, the Holy Spirit does not exalt Himself but points all men to Jesus. Jesus came, meek and lowly, totally submitted to and seeking only to please the Father.
This is radically different from how so-called “great men” present themselves. The Roman Caesar of Jesus’ day proclaimed that he was God and demanded worship. Lesser leaders ruled by exalting themselves over the people they governed, but Jesus showed us that “whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Mt. 20:26-28).
If we are concerned about what people think in an attempt to gain their approval (or honor), we will never take a stand in faith for anything that might be criticized. This has probably stopped as many people from receiving from God as anything else. You cannot be a “man-pleaser” and please God simultaneously. Commit your all to Him—every thought, word, and deed.
