Re: Verse reading–John 10:1-21 (day three)
“He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?” A not-for-profit organization years ago used the slogan, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.” That’s for sure. God gave human beings a mind, and its unused potential is one of the great stewardship failures of a sinful human race. The religious leaders confronting Jesus demonstrated this abdication of responsibility when they refused to engage Jesus on the merits of his claims, and instead resorted to name-calling and diversionary tactics. When you are spiritually bankrupt, that’s all you’ve got. God gave you a mind as well. Jesus says to you, “Follow me.” Do you enter into conversation with the Savior, or do you change the subject?
