Jesus Confused Many People (John 8:12-30)

I know… I know… People often quote 1Cor.14:33 which says that God is not the author of confusion. That does not mean that He will never say anything that will confuse you. God has always said things that left people scratching their heads and saying, “Huh…” Paul in 1Cor.14 was talking about confusion and controversy in the congregation over the practice of the gifts of the Spirit. (There is still confusion and controversy over these very things.) There was confusion in the way the meetings were being conducted: people speaking out of turn, interrupting one another, and other such things. But differences don’t have to lead to division. If a congregation or a person is confused in what is happening, you should pursue peace and not create disorder. That was happening at Corinth. Paul was not talking about confusion that comes naturally with learning, but confusion in the gatherings themselves. Read the chapter and you will see that is exactly what was happening.

If God says something you don’t understand and your mind is confused, pursue the truth until you are at peace with that. I think I can truthfully say that if you’re never confused about anything in the Bible, you’re probably not learning anything.

If you are not confused right now, maybe in this lesson you can learn how to help someone else who might be confused. Many people do get confused when trying to understand the Bible and they just give up and settle for ignorance. We know that is a horrible decision and maybe you can help them not do that.
