1. Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
2. Have you ever seen a celebrity in a restaurant or out of character and not recognized them at first. What was your reaction? Did you finally wake up and believe it was them or blow it off and miss the chance to meet them?
3. Scripture
   1. John 5:36-40
   2. Jesus: There’s another witness standing in My corner who is greater than John or any other man. The mission that brings Me here, and the things I am called to do, demonstrate the authenticity of My calling which comes directly from the Father.  In the act of sending Me, the Father has endorsed Me. None of you really knows the Father. You have never heard His voice or seen His profile.  His word does not abide in you because you do not believe in the One sent by the Father.

Here you are scouring through the Scriptures, hoping that you will find eternal life among a pile of scrolls. What you don’t seem to understand is that the Scriptures point to Me. Here I am with you, and still you reject the truth contained in the law and prophets by refusing to come to Me so that you can have life.

4. Devotional
   1. Growing up in Nashville
      1. Not uncommon to see country-western singers around town
      2. Treated like ordinary people with special talents instead of flocked by camera hounds
      3. Often would eat at a restaurant and overhear a fan talking about them
      4. Walk up to the table and be unrecognized
      5. Sometimes the fan would argue about identity
   2. Star gives evidence of identity with information
      1. Birth statistics
      2. Favorite foods, color, songs
      3. Others might agree with identity
      4. Fan still skeptical
   3. Might even sing to show fan that he is who he says
   4. Jesus felt the same way
      1. John testified as to His identity
      2. Father testified with voice at baptism and descending of the dove
      3. Scripture testifies of His identity
      4. Still some refuse to believe He is the One sent by the Father, the Messiah
   5. When a fan refuses to believe a singer or celebrity is not who they claim to be, they miss out on meeting a popular person; when we refuse to believe Jesus is the Messiah, the savior of the world, we miss out on eternity
   6. Maybe we should be a little less skeptical and start listening to the evidence around us
5. If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church. If you like the devotional, share it with someone. If you don’t, tell me. I hope you’ll join me again tomorrow for “A Little Walk with God.”
