One Hopeful Man | John 7:50-52

Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?” They replied, “Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.” — John 7:50-52 This never happens anymore. People are never pronounced guilty and required to prove their innocence. Laughable, right? Well, not so much. Especially when it happens to you. And be careful here because we have all done this. I have done it. So have you. I have done this to my wife. I have done this to my kids. I have done this to employees, friends, politicians, spiritual leaders, and others. I have assumed their guilt before ever hearing more. Yet mature spiritual men know how to moderate their emotions, mediate their assumptions, and endure the resistance to search for the truth. We need more men like Nicodemus in our time. Men who can confidently and calmly contest for the truth. But this means you will have to stand up, speak up, risk your reputation for his, and even put your job on the line for the truth. This is beginning to happen. Will you join the ranks of Nicodemus? Will you be that one hopeful man? If so, what's the risk you are going to take today? ASK THIS: What risk will you take to be that one hopeful man? DO THIS: Take that risk today. PRAY THIS: God, I am ready to risk my reputation for yours. PLAY THIS: Stand In Faith.
