Jn. 5: 39-47:
‘If another comes in his own name, him you will receive’ (v.43b) Jesus attacks
the imposters who come and preached what people desire – victory and
material prosperity but Jesus preaches the cross. The characteristic of these
imposters are to offer the easy way while Jesus offers the hard way to God. The
imposters perished while Christ lives on. This knowledge of the way to the
kingdom of God is being given only to the Jews then. It become their privilege
but failed to use them and thereby had become their condemnation.
Responsibility is always the other side of privilege.
