“You need to realize it is not me who points out the
fallacy of your position. That role
belongs to Moses, the one on whom you pin your personal and national hopes.” John
5:45 EFP
Jesus appears
to be saying if our hopes, beliefs, doctrines, and tenets find their bedrock on
a human source or some charismatic personality, the day of reckoning will
come. The very words of that human
source will come back to accuse and condemn us.
That is a sobering thought, particularly for a church that must continually
defend itself from that very accusation.
My core must
always and only be Jesus. All must flow
to and from the Rock of the Ages. If I
fail at this, I fail at everything. My
“hope is built on nothing less that Jesus blood and righteousness.” Any house of faith that either ignores or
neglects the foundation of Christ will fall under the weight of its
unsubstantiated claims. Jesus’ words
remain a solemn warning to all who claim to be disciples of Christ.
