Commentary on John 7:18
Jesus contrasts self-generated testimony with testimony that comes from God. Self-seekers pursue their own glory, seeking human recognition and authority. But Christ seeks the Father's glory alone, making His witness true. The Reformed emphasis on God's glory (soli Deo gloria) finds expression here - ministry that exalts God rather than self authenticates divine calling.
