The Character of Jesus - DISCERNING OF MOTIVES

Read Mark 11:27-33.

"And answering Jesus, they said, 'We do not know.' And Jesus said to them, 'Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.'" (v. 33)

Jesus knew that the Jewish leaders didn't really want answers to the questions they asked. They were motivated by trying to discredit Him.

I need supernatural discernment to tell the motives of other people. This cannot come naturally--I need God's involvement.
