Thought for January 27

[Thompson, Darryl]

     The teaching of Christ did not coincide with their ideas. It was
spiritual, and demanded the sacrifice of self; therefore they would not
receive it....
     Is not the same thing repeated in our day? Are there not many, even
religious leaders, who are hardening their hearts against the Holy
Spirit, making it impossible for them to recognize the voice of God? Are
they not rejecting the word of God, that they may keep their own
traditions? Desire of Ages, p.213
