A Change of Heart?
Text: John 8: 29-30
A CHANGE OF HEART?
As Jesus spoke to the Jews, it appeared as if there was a change of heart among some of them.
“‘And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.’ As He spoke these words, many believed in Him.”
John 8:29-30
1. “And He who sent Me is with Me”
a. Jesus spoke:
i. With conviction.
ii. With courage.
iii. With certainty and clarity.
b. His testimony about His Father.
i. God had sent Him.
ii. The Father was with Him.
iii. He had not left Jesus to minister alone.
2. “For I always do those things that please Him”
a. Jesus was certainly not a people-pleaser.
i. He never sought to please the Sanhedrin Council.
ii. He had not sought to please His disciples too; often He had to rebuke them.
iii. He did not seek to please the multitudes.
b. He had never compromised His teachings.
i. He taught truth powerfully.
ii. Even if His teachings were hard to accept.
c. He had always sought only to please His Father and no one else.
i. Such was His love for His Father.
ii. Such was His commitment and obedience to Him.
3. “As He spoke these words, many believed in Him”
a. What would constitute belief In Jesus?
b. Was there a genuine change of heart?

改变心态?
当耶稣对犹太人说话时,看来似乎有些人心中有所改变。
“‘那差我来的是与我同在,他没有撇下我独自在这里,因为我常做他所喜悦的事。’耶稣说这话的时候,就有许多人信他。”
