Courageous Fear

But no one had the courage to speak favorably about Him in public, for they were afraid of getting in trouble with the Jewish leaders.
John 7:13

 

 

My Takeaways

Something Old

What keeps me from have courageous conversation?

If it is fear, what am I afraid of?

  • Confrontation
  • Condemnation
  • Humiliation
  • Lack of education

It was deemed criminal among the Jews to question or depart from the authority of their teachers. Nicodemus grants that our Lord is a teacher come from God, yet hesitates to receive his testimony relative to the new birth and the spiritual nature of the Messiah’s kingdom.

Something New

Why do I speak? For my glory or to honor God? (John 7:18) Ouch.

Something to Do
