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
