•John 2:23-25 . . Because of the miraculous signs he did in Jerusalem at the
Passover celebration, many people were convinced that he was indeed the Messiah.
But Jesus didn't trust them, because he knew what people were really like. No one

Well, his unbelief was justified. The same people who believed in him due to his
miracles are the very folks who later-on demanded his execution.
Oliver Cromwell-- who took the British throne away from Charles l, and established
the Commonwealth --said to a friend: Do not trust to the cheering, for those same
persons would cheer just as much if you and I were going to be hanged.
