Daily readings to help you see Jesus' light in your life
by Selwyn Hughes
Good Man or God-Man?
"Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?" (v. 46)
-- For reading & meditation: John 8:31-47
Jesus publicly made the challenge: " Can any of you prove me guilty
of sin?" Here we are face to face with a kind of person who had not
been seen since Adam in his pre-fallen condition - a man without sin.
The disciples had shared every kind of experience with Him that
mortals can share, had seen Him at all hours of day and night, had
seen Him tired, hungry and disappointed, scorned, abused and hunted
to death, had ridden with Him on a wave of popularity and hidden with
Him from inquisitive miracle-mongers, yet they certainly could find
no fault in Him. It is quite possible to know too much about some
people. A gardener who was employed by a minister was asked why he
did not come to hear him preach. Half in jest but half in earnest he
replied: "I know too much about him." But none of the disciples ever
said that concerning Jesus. They saw no flaw in Him. Moreover, not
only were His intimates unable to discover sin in Him; He had no
awareness of it in Himself. He lived intimately with God His Father,
but the holiness of God did not rebuke Him. It didn't because it
couldn't. He was sinless, spotless, perfect. If it be granted that
Jesus was a good man, and if it be granted that a good man is ready
always to tell the truth, are we not constrained by His own words to
believe that He was something more than a good man? He is much much
more than a good man; He is the God-Man.
PRAYER:
O Jesus, my Savior and my God, when I think of how You, the sinless
One, took on Yourself my sins and bore them all away, I feel it must
be too good to be true. But yet I know it is too good not to be true.
Thank You, my Father. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
