Several great points this morning…
- 7:1-9 Brothers: It says even his brothers did not believe in Him so they were pushing him to go to the feast and prove Himself. Sounds like brothers!!
- 7:17 "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority."Living out a life of following God creates clarity about other teaching you hear. Not following creates confusion. Following what you already have heard creates further learning. The implications for christian education are astounding actually.
- 7:23-24 Ahhh some clarity about this Sabbath issue. Jesus presses into the Sabbath in a very intentional way in His time on earth. These two verses express some of what he's pressing into regarding keeping the law and the approval they've given to break it themselves.
- 7:25-31 Our perceptions of the what/when/how/where of Messiah, keep us from seeing him when he's right in front of us. Don't fail to see what is in plain sight.
- 7:38 "Whoever believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." May streams of grace and mercy flow incessant from God almighty!!
- 7:45-50 Nicodemus reappears in the story, prompting some thought. The gets shut down by what Pharisees "Knew"!!
- 8:12-30 Two great witnesses for your side… God, Jesus. Love to have them on the stand in my defense!!
- 8:36 "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
Lots of great stuff this morning…check it out !! Be Blessed
