John 4 "Credit Due"

John 4 - Brandon Hatmaker - "Credit Due"

“The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.” – John 4:1

Jesus didn’t do it alone. He could have. But he didn’t. John reminds us here that he entrusted much to his disciples. He didn’t need the glory or attention that would be accredited by men. Glory was already His on a much greater level. And yet, the Pharisees were STILL jealous.

Father, thank you for the men (and women) in my life who share burdens. Thank you Jesus that you give us a share in your work. Protect our hearts that we would not be concerned about getting the credit for things you do.
