John 2:23-25
“During the time he was in Jerusalem, those days of the Passover Feast, many people noticed the signs he was displaying and, seeing they pointed straight to God, entrusted their lives to him. But Jesus didn’t entrust his life to them. He knew them inside and out, knew how untrustworthy they were. He didn’t need any help in seeing right through them.”
“Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem, many began to trust in him. But Jesus didn’t trust them, because he knew all about people. No one needed to tell him about human nature, for he knew what was in each person’s heart.”
Mass conversion is not the same as an individual’s choice to walk by faith with Jesus. The public event is designed and performed by men to glorify the institutional church. The individual is wooed by the Holy Spirit in a beautiful, intimate, unseen dance. The public church works correctly when filled with those who want to learn their life steps within God’s embrace.
Lord, show me how to dance. Teach me the steps. Help me to follow your lead. There is nowhere else I’d rather be than in your arms.
