John 1:29-34 – John testifies about Jesus
- “When the time is right”
- I’m going to keep it very simply today.
- It’s not about me or my ministry.
- In this passage John refers back to his profound revelation that I unpacked a little in my blog two days ago.
- Rather than me repeating myself I will ask you to re-read that.
- Here the manifestation of that revelation is his understanding that his ministry is nothing more than a means to an end. His ministry is not that important – its only importance comes in its role in the bigger picture.
- I wish more leaders could understand that.
- God is not that sentimental.
- If he could destroy the temple – the most holy significant of all church buildings with all its history and emotional investment on God’s part…
- Then He will not think twice about ending our ministries when the time is right.
- The time is right when they no longer fulfill His purposes and start to fulfill ours.
- That could be said of everything that we hold onto to dearly.
- Again this is connected to the “first things first” blog from two days ago.
- Praying today for a deeper understanding of this so God does have to teach me the hard way.
