The disease of self-righteousness convinces us that we’re right, that everyone else is wrong, and that the world would be a much better place if everyone just listened to ‘me’. By God’s grace, our self-righteousness is always incompatible with the agenda, mission and righteousness of Jesus and this passage invites us to consider who we will choose to rule our lives - Jesus Christ or ourselves?

After arriving in Jerusalem during the most important spiritual festival of the year, Jesus announces his mission as the Messiah and invites the crowd to find true spiritual life through belief in Him. However, instead of seeing the crowds believe, what John describes is a scene of division where everyone has developed their own opinion about who they believe Jesus to be. Some will dismiss him, others will accept an altered version of Him, while others will reject him entirely. As we read, we’re invited to consider the question: will you believe in Jesus?
