How is it that desiring to do God`s will results in a person knowing that Jesus` teaching comes from God?
If you are thoroughly willing to submit to God`s will and live according to His will, He will bless you with the discernment and knowledge that is necessary for you to do His will. My faith has certainly increased since I submitted to my Lord and continues to increase each and every day, praise God! I learn something wonderful and much needed each and every time I pick up my Bible and study. By: Patty - January 20, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Teaches at the Feast (1) Comments

How is it that desiring to do God`s will results in a person knowing that Jesus` teaching comes from God?
Jesus does not seek his own glory that would be like in ordinary life an eartly one but he accomplishes the will of The Father. He follows his word. If we accept him we accept the Lord`s word and from knowledge stems purpusefulness. Even Jesus is tempted to say take away this cup from me if it is Your will but as it isn`t I shall drink it to the last drop. His are the words of the Father. Knowing them leads to understanding God`s plan for us the plan that our loving Father has for us. If we to love Him like we love His Son whose words we accept, we will respond lovingly with a yes. Be not mine but your will be done. All we do is for the glory of the Lord who created us the way we are and who set us trials so that if we overcome them with the force and in the name of his Love we can then rejoice in His eternal presence ''and all those we truly love''.

But when it was now the midst of
the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. The Jews therefore marveled,
saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been
educated?"
Jesus therefore
answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who
sent me. If anyone
desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is
from God, or if I am speaking from myself. He who speaks from himself seeks
his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and
no unrighteousness is in him. Didn't Moses give you the law,
and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?" The multitude
answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?"
Jesus answered them,
"I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
Moses has given you
circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the
Sabbath you circumcise a boy. If a boy receives circumcision on
the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with
me, because I made a man every bit whole on the Sabbath? Don't judge according to
appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
