We Don't Have To Play Their Game

 

Mark 11:28-33(NKJV)

28And they said to Him, “By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority to do these things?”

29But Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things: 

30The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me.”

31And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 

32But if we say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all counted John to have been a prophet indeed. 

33So they answered and said to Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus answered and said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

I find this exchange interesting and it gives some good guidance.

We are supposed to spread the Word of God and it can be scary to share your testimony.  Especially if you come up against someone who doesn't truly want to know God, they just want to play Bible Battle with you.  What would Jesus do?  The above Scripture shows us.

There is a reason that Jesus told us not to cast our pearls before swine!
