Too Smart For Your Own Good

Too Smart For Your Own Good

As I read this passage the words I heard my mother say often came to my mind. When someone would say something that didn’t make sense, she would say, “you’re too smart for your own good.” That meant the thing someone thought they knew would be the very thing that caused them problems. 

The people in Jesus time were certainly too smart for their own good. They had the Messiah standing in front of them. They witnessed the miracles. They knew what the word said about the Messiah. Yet, they looked at Jesus and saw Joseph and Mary’s son. 

What about you? When you consider Jesus, do you relegate Him to something small and insignificant? Before you say, “No, I would never do that,” look at your life. Consider how you live. Do you seek to honor Jesus with every area of your life? If not, make changes. Honoring Christ is mandatory for living a fruitful life for Christ. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

John 6:40-42

40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”
