Political Position or Serving Him?

42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. John 12:42-43

How sad that they believed in Jesus but they didn't confess Him as Lord and Savior. Even more sad that they loved the praise of men more than Jesus. This scripture is after the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. They were there to witness the miracles. They knew that He was the Christ. Politics happened even way back then. This portion of scripture supports the fact that you cannot serve more than one god. We are fortunate to serve the one true God. The praises of men here on earth are temporary at best but the praises of God will be eternal!

Let this be a reminder for us to pray for our rulers. I pray for them to love Jesus and recognize him as the one true God, more than they love the praises of men. That we would return to a God fearing country instead of a man pleasing country.

Lord help me to live this prayer by example. Remind me to pray for the leaders of our local government and our country's government leaders.

In Your Name,

Shanin
