The
Pharisees continue to exert their evil influence. 'For fear of the
Pharisees', many remained silent, 'loving the praise of men more than
the praise of God' (42-43). Whatever the opposition, Jesus calls us to
believe in Him and confess Him (Romans 10:9). He calls us out of
darkness into light (46). If you are a believer, come out into the open.
Make it known that you belong to Christ. Do not only read God's Word
for yourself. Speak His Word to others (50). he 'hour' of Jesus'
suffering draws near. Satan is busy. Jesus is in control (1-3). It is
the 'hour' of His love. We are 'washed' in His precious blood (8; 1 John
1:7; Revelation 7:14). What God has done for us comes before what we
'ought to 'do for others. Jesus is our Saviour before He is our
'Example' (14-15). Knowing Him, let us do His will (17).
