The speaker also emphasizes the priority of seeking the glory of God in our lives and the need to align our priorities with His.

J.C. Ryle emphasizes the fourfold witness to Jesus Christ as the Messiah, highlighting the testimonies of God the Father, John the Baptist, Christ's miraculous works, and the Scriptures. He points out that these witnesses collectively affirm Jesus' divine mission, yet many remain unmoved due to their unwillingness to believe. Ryle honors the faithful servants of Christ, like John the Baptist, and underscores the significance of miracles as evidence of Christ's authority. He also stresses the importance of the Scriptures in revealing Christ, urging believers to diligently search them for understanding. Ultimately, Ryle concludes that the heart's obstinacy is the true barrier to faith, not a lack of evidence.

Zac Poonen addresses the jealousy of the Pharisees towards Jesus, who performed miracles that they could not, highlighting their inability to rejoice in God's work due to their pride and sectarianism. He emphasizes that true miracles occur where the gospel is preached for the first time, often through ordinary believers, and warns against the counterfeit miracles seen in modern times. Poonen encourages believers to trust God for real miracles and to pray for healing, reminding them of their privileges as children of God. He also stresses the importance of giving glory to God for any miracles that occur, to avoid falling into the same trap of pride as the Pharisees.
