Verses from John

虽然这样，官长当中也有许多人信了耶稣。但是因为法利赛人的缘故，他们不敢公开承认，免得被赶出会堂；因为他们爱来自人的荣耀，过于爱来自神的荣耀。(约翰福音 12:42-43)

Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved human praise more than praise from God. (John 12:42-43)

Do you dare to admit your faith and stand by your faith? Or do you waver in front of others? What will you do if what you believe in is in contrast to the world? Do you crave for human acknowledgement and praise more than praise from God, so much so that you compromise your godly values in exchange for worldly values and compromise your faith in Him?
