Today's reading: John 11-12
"Many people, including some of the Jewish leaders, believed in him. But they wouldn't admit it to anyone because of their fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue. For they loved human praise more than the praise of God." John 12:42-43 NLT
I'm going to be so bold as to say I would insert any one of our names into this portion of Scripture and it ring true.
There is something each and every one of us is being asked to do, but we are hesitating because...
-It hasn't been done that way before.
-It might hurt someone's feelings.
-It could possibly leave someone out.
-It might go against what everyone else is doing.
-It might shake things up a bit.
-It might cause someone else to feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.
-It could be construed as being religious and not tolerant.
-It might not get an applause from the crowd.
