Deception Or A Lack Of Knowledge

Daily Devotions:
by Christina Farris

John 7:45-53 KJV
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.

Deception is one of those things that one might ask yourself are you as intelligent as you think you are? What knowledge or proof was there before President Trump might be impeached before he left office. What was not told and was told in front of public camera. Trump said he asked a foreign government to investigate Jo Biden's son before he became President. Number one, Jo Biden's Son is the son of the vice president so because of this he have a number of security guards around him at all times despite whether he want them or not. Jo Biden is always under survelliance for a time even after his father left office. Trump originally request that National Security Team to investigate a man already under survelliance. The answer is how can ask someone already under survelliance to be investigated. He be better to ask the National Security Team to be investigated. Problem is with that in mind, should it be by foreign leader only to prove his point and if that foreign leader took a bribe let says guns, then was that illegal as well. Oh that happens all the time in political world, don't let it worry you. No there is a point is there deception of truth and slight of hand going on. Our nation deals with foreign governments all the time, and treaties keep peace as long as both parties do their job. We give money overseas and guns with conditions. If those conditions are not meet those things are removed when possible, sanctions, or war begins. Everyone says no foul play Ukraine and President Trump. What this have to do with today's lesson.

The Chief Priest is wondering why Jesus has not been capture yet or taken by force. The response is no one ever spoke like this before. If Jesus is preaching from Old Testament and teaching Old Testament truth and this officers just implied no one ever taught this before, does it make the Chief Priest and Pharisees look bad. There is many things never taught in the church you will read in your Bible. You would almost have to sit fifty to seventy years to year the whole Bible but probably not the Gospel of Jesus. There is only 52 sundays in a year and 52 middle of the week services a year. That only 104 to 156 possible messages a year if you went to two services on Sunday. Lets us not forget a retreat/camp meeting or two a year. There are 66 books in the Bible, some thing you never will hear because ministers change churches. Ministers and church's never exchange never had the abilityt o exchange sermons and messages until the internet. Now with this in mind is it possible the officer just miss the Saturday service in the synagogue at the time his priest taught these things Jesus was speaking about. Of course, but he knew he did not remember it being taught.

Nicodemus the one in chapter 3 of John that visited Jesus at night and question him, spoke up and said does not our law judge any man before it hears him and know what he doeth. There come back response is do you not come from Galilee, search for yourself concerning the fact no minister comes from Galilee. No one ask where Nicodemus was born, nor did they ask where Jesus was born. Everyone left on that note as the anger and confusion mounted. Now was Jesus' witness from Nicodemus helpful.

The fact that President Trump was once a democrat and liberal help in the issue of Joe Biden's Son guiltiness or weaken his case. Is Trump friends with Biden. The answer is this, no one knows for sure anything this is politics at its finest. Bible has it political and religious issues too. Evidence not seen is evidence not presented that would help a case become clear and not one with sunglasses or better yet eye patch to hide the truth of damage eye. Yet Jesus could of answered these questions, President Trump could of answer questions for the Senate and the House but refused making him guilty and yet his friends found him not guilty in the republican senate. Was there enough evidence, don't know what I did not see. That point being it is the things we do not know that makes even the most faithful believe search diligently through scripture for evidence and proof of Jesus as Messiah and Lord daily. It is those question not answer that we search diligently for that when answer our faith is made stronger. Do most believers have any trouble saying Jesus is their Messiah absolutely not because he lives within their heart, there is a change upon salvation of unspeakable joy and elation of knowing they are a child of God and saved by grace. God's Spirit enter their heart to confirm it and their witness of their faith began. And the work of God began to manifest in their life. Yet scripture is searched daily for proof of evidence of all they know about Jesus. Okay sometimes a beleiver does not study quiet so diligently as daily, that okay. Yet there is a desire to know more planted in the heart, and sometimes it fades for a time, but it will spark a new, because God is working on a project in a person's life, that we do not fully grasp until it manifest to a seeable picture and something we just have to take by faith. God's grace is going to pour out of the believer to others. We can not contain God's love or stop testifying. Yet we all have our own unique way of testifying about Jesus.

Nicodemus did not know Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Nor did the Chief Priest, which is a mystery of why did he not ask. Instead he would prophesize the death of Christ in another chapter in John. The case be established by blind eyes and not eyes seeing. Is America blind to the impeachment and innocents, or was bribery involved. Only God knows the answer in the political world we live in. That why I do not support or support totally any political party. Yet by faith I beleive Jesus Christ is Lord, because my heart changed on the day of salvation back in 1977 on the front porch of my parents house as I talked to God by myself.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for evidence of your Son's birth in Bethlehem by the census taken at the time of Christ birth.(Luke 2) In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study for Devotion:

Leviticus 19:14-15 KJV
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
