• John 2

  
  John 2:24
  Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men

  Thoughts:
  It says that people were impressed by Jesus. They saw the miracles and believed in him. Things were happening. There was a great stir.

  But Jesus kept calm  about the whole situation. Why did he not ride the momentum? Why was he not excited? Instead it says he did not entrust himself to them.

  People are fickle. They are moody. Many times we will fail each other. It is not that we don’t care but we are sinners and we live in a fallen world.

  I trust people but not the way I trust my Jesus.  Jesus is to be totally trusted.  He never fails.  He is my rock and my fortress.  One way of looking at it is love people a lot so you can trust them and forgive them when they fail. 

  Prayer:
  Lord let me trust you and may Your love flow through me to love people with confidence.
