Amen! The ministry of Jesus was one of love. How could Jesus trust man when he knows what is in man's heart?
Matthew 19:16-17a
Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
“Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good.
When anyone puts their trust in man, they are opening themselves for deception.
Jeremiah 17:9
"The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?
No matter how well-intended a person may be, our heart's are deceitful. One may have the itent of "covering" or strictly withholding information, the result is deceit.
Jeremiah 17:7
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is the LORD."
