John 12: 42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue
The next verse states that they loved human praise more than God's praise. Palm Sunday has just happened, and everyone knows about Lazarus. People who loved God could see the truth.
I don't want to be like these quiet believers! How could they be so cowed by the powers that be? They couldn't possibly understand who God is! I know that the power of God is the greatest power ever, and pleasing God is my number one priority!
Prayer: I want to please You, Lord. Being part of Your church is important, but nothing is more important than following Your will for me. Help me to be the person You know that I can be.
Amen
