\n I was blessed when reading this passage!! thank you Jesus!<\/span><\/p>\n
\n 38\u00a0 The word he talks is not in your hearts, because you do not believe the one he sent to you.<\/span>
\n 39\u00a0 You read holy writings carefully. You think that there you will find out how to live for ever. In the same writings you will read about me.<\/span>
\n 40\u00a0 And yet you will not come to me for that life.<\/span>
\n 41\u00a0 I do not want people to call me great.<\/span>
\n 42\u00a0 But I know that you do not love God in your hearts.<\/span>
\n 43\u00a0 I have come in my Father’s name, but you will not receive me. If another person comes in his own name, then you will receive him.<\/span>
\n 44\u00a0 How can you believe? You are always calling each other great, but you do not want the only God to make you great.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n39.\u00a0 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, yet those Scriptures are they which testify of me,
\n40.\u00a0 and you won\u2019t come to me that you might have life.
\n41. \u00a0I don\u2019t accept honor from men,
\n42.\u00a0 but I know you, that you don\u2019t have the love of God in you.
\n43.\u00a0 I have come in my Father\u2019s name and you don\u2019t receive me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
\n44. \u00a0How can you believe while receiving honor from one another, and you don\u2019t seek the honor that comes from the only God?
