John 8:37-47

-In this passage Jesus and the people argue about who they are. They say they are Abraham's children, but Jesus replies that they don't do as Abraham did so they can't be. Jesus eventually tells them that they belong to the devil because they lie and want to kill.

-It's kind of true that people often only hear what they want to hear once they are on a side. These people had chosen a side and all of what Jesus said didn't matter any more. People also hang onto where they came from or who they think they are because of someone else. The most important person to be from is God. We can hide behind all these other people's names, but only God is important.
