They turn looking for hope from the legalism and hate of Islam.
But it is not the easy choice- the lose everything to follow Jesus.
Fix.

3 Ways We Stay Focused in Conflict
I. Please God Only (1-9)
Please God or man.
You can't do both.
4 Groups That Rejected Jesus
1. Jesus was Rejected by His Friends (1-2)
Last week- disciples (not the 12) left him.
2. Jesus was Rejected by His Family (3-5)
Jesus was hurting their honor within their community.
They called him to go to Judea to show them his works.
3. Jesus was Rejected by the World (6-9)
Secular Worldly System
Secularism- rejects the Church.
4. Jesus was Rejected by the Religious Establishment (10-13)
The Jews= in John many times it is a name given to the Religious System.
As a pastor- this is hard- It's where recognition and approval comes from.
Also- legitimacy and bigger churches.
II.
Reflect God Only (16-18)
3 Ways we Speak for God
1. Speak for God (16)
We are his heralds.
- Preacher= Greek word "Herald"
We are called to be God's heralds.
2. Do God's Will (17)
When it isn't about us and our reputation or fame we can discern God's Will.
Our own agenda keeps us from seeing God's Will.
When it is about us- it can't be about God.
3. Glorify God (18)
Pharisees taught under authority of their Rabbi who earned the right to be quoted.
Only those who were experts in the authority of their Rabbi could begin to teach in their own authority.
Jesus taught under God's authority.
He humbled self to be one under the authority of another.
How much more should we?
Glory= manifest presence- whose presence is realized when you do good works?
III.
Obey God Only (19-24)
God Only Has Authority to Judge (19)
He is greater than we can comprehend (21)
He Has Right to Heal on Sabbath (22-23) - Grace over Law
Goes back to Jesus healing man at Pool of Bethesda ()
Judge Spiritually, not Physically.
(24)
Do you see physically or spiritually?
CONCLUSION
The only way to stay focused during the journey is to see the way God sees.
God judges with right judgment because He judges with Truth.
Are you ready for God's judgment?
Are you on the journey that he desires for your life?
