In our Gospel lesson from John 8:48-59, Jesus spoke to a group of Jews that called God their Father, believing that they rightly knew Him and honored Him. Jesus, the Son of God, God in the flesh, told them, "I honor [the Father], but you dishonor me." You don't have the Father without the Son. He is the only way to Father. But a true confession is not the only way that we are to honor God, as Jesus said, "I do know Him, and I keep His Word." How do Christians honor God? What does God do when we fail to honor Him as we ought? Thanks be to God that He does not repay dishonor for dishonor.
