John 2:25
… and had no need that
anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.
…Someone will say, “Oh no,
you are not as bad as that,” but Jesus says we are worse. Our LORD never
trusted any man, for He knew what was in man, but He was not a cynic for He had
the profoundest confidence in what He could do for every man…. Consequently He
was never in a moral or intellectual panic as we are, because we will put our
confidence in man and in the things in which Jesus put no confidence….
Don’t think of yourself
more highly than you ought to think, but think according to the measure of
faith, that is, according to what the grace of God has done in you… [Ed: faith as
big as a mustard seed is placed into each one, but like Abraham, only grows by
God’s grace if we “go there” and follow]…
Do I believe Jesus Christ
can do anything for that case? Am I as confident in His power as He is in His
own? If you deal with people without any faith in Jesus Christ, it will crush
the very life out of you. If we believe n Jesus Christ, we can face every
problem the world holds.
