The Counsel of Unbelievers

Here we find that Jesus' brethren who did not believe in Him sought to counsel Him about what He should be doing. We should take the Lord's example and not take counsel from people who are not believers. Everything these people thought Jesus should do sounds remarkably the same as we hear in most churches about how to reach the lost. Here the source of such so called wisdom was an unbelieving heart, which is reason enough to reject it, just as Jesus did.
