LESSON 24

Two Anointings

And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world”.

– John 8:23

LESSON FROM JESUS

John 8 depicts the difference between two kinds of “anointings”. There is a showdown between Jesus and the Pharisees. It is a drama acted out between two types of leadership: the leadership of the servant King of the Kingdom of God, and the leadership of the kingdom of shrewd men of the world. Though the Pharisees were religious leaders, Jesus declares their leadership is not spiritual, but worldly, saying, “You are from beneath, I am from above.”

We learn a vital leadership lesson from this chapter: the exercise of leadership will either happen in the power of the Holy Spirit or in the power of human energy. There is a strictly human type of leadership, and a Spirit-led type of leadership.

Your vocation does not determine if your leadership is spiritual or worldly. Rather, your values and character make this determination—whether you lead in the power of your human energy or the power of the Holy Spirit. These two leadership anointings are contrasted in John 8.
