That You May Believe Series: Session 24 – Which Side Should I Choose?

Have you ever been absolutely certain you were right, only to discover later that you were completely wrong? In John 7, Jesus confronts one of the greatest examples of spiritual misunderstanding in Scripture. The most religious leaders of the day believed they were defending God's truth, yet they failed to recognize the Son of God standing before them. This passage reveals how easily our choices and judgments can be distorted when we rely on appearances, personal preferences, or tradition instead of God's Word.

Jesus teaches that true discernment begins with a heart willing to obey God, not simply accumulate knowledge. He warns against seeking personal glory, majoring on minor issues, and judging situations before knowing the full truth. Through His teaching, we learn how to avoid common misunderstandings and develop righteous judgment rooted in Scripture.

If you've ever struggled with difficult choices, confusion, or knowing what is true, this message offers a biblical framework for developing genuine discernment and wisdom.
