"Called Out to Stand Out"

*Joh 12:41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.*
*Joh 12:42 Nevertheless, many even of the authorities, believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue; Joh 12:43 for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.*
