A more expanded version of this verse says, \u201cIf any man is willing to do His will (God\u2019s pleasure), he will know (have the needed illumination to recognize, and can tell for himself) whether the teaching is from God, or whether I am speaking from Myself and My own accord and on My own authority.\u201d We read in verse 15b – 16: \u201cHow is it that this Man (Jesus) has learning (so versed in the sacred Scriptures and in Theology) when He has never studied? Jesus answered them by saying, \u201cMy teaching is not My own, but His Who sent Me.\u201d John 8: 28: says, \u201cJesus therefore said, \u201cWhen you lift up the Son of Man (Jesus), then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.\u201d1 John 2: 23: says, \u201cWhoever denies the Son (Jesus) does not have the Father (God); the one who confesses the Son Has the Father also.” It is very important to note that Jesus, as in these verses, always reverted to His coming, His words, and His actions, as being those He received directly from the Father, making Himself the Messenger and Fulfillment of the Father\u2019s Divine Will for those who would believe.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We also receive great wisdom from Jesus for discernment in John 7:\u00a0 18 + 24, as He says, \u201cHe who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He (Jesus) who is seeking the Glory of the One Who sent Him, He (Jesus) is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.\u201d It seems that Jesus may not have appeared as someone who would bring forth God\u2019s Word, because he was not part of the elite scholars of His time. He speaks plainly that God\u2019s messengers will always speak God\u2019s Word, even if they do not always appear to be man\u2019s choice.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have Jesus\u2019 motive for His coming, given to us in Matthew 9: 9 – 10: Pray in this way, \u201cOur Father Who art in Heaven, Hallowed (Holy, Revered) be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.\u201d Jesus tells us that God reigns in Holiness and Reverence in a Heavenly Kingdom, and through Him we can pray God\u2019s Will and Majesty to come and replace man\u2019s fallen ways and governance here one earth; all the more so urgent, as we see what is transpiring around the world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

John 17: 8 + 24: says, \u201cFor the words which Thou (God the Father) gavest Me I have given to them; and they received them, and truly understood that I came forth from Thee, and they believed that Thou didst send Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am, in order that they may see My Glory, which Thou hast given Me; for Thou didst love Me before the foundation of the world.\u201d There is an appointed day for the fulfillment of Jesus\u2019 prayers, as in Revelations 11: 15: which says, \u201cAnd the seventh angel sounded and there arose loud voices in Heaven, saying, \u201c The Kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord (Jesus), and of His Christ (Anointed One); and He will reign forever and ever.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dearest Holy Lord Jesus: thank You so much for the Hope of Eternal life, and the anticipation of the new Realm You will soon be ushering forth. Thank You for Your great patience with us, who are so slow to see, and hear what Your Word and your messengers have been saying for so long. Come by Your Holy Spirit, and reveal Yourself in this late hour that many will turn away from the deceptions of the temporal, to accept Your invitation to be part of Your Eternal Kingdom. Glory to You alone!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
