John 7
So I want to work on a bible time tonight. Have not been in the book where I was for a long time. I am not as good as I want but I am going to get better.
\]
We are going to look at this passage and see what the Lord is going to teach me and or us. I need to go this passage because I want to keep going in this study.
John 7 1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him. 2Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 3His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. 4For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5For even His brothers did not believe in Him.
Why did the world want to kill Jesus? It was because in that day Jesus claimed to be God. In six Jesus said he was going to judge the living and the dead. If someone claimed to be that today they would knock him into a insane house. Jesus just fed 5000 people and the people wanted more signs. He was doing some things to make the Jewish leaders a bit nervous and they need a reason to kill Jesus.
Note his brothers were trying to tell Jesus to get out and do his thing. And they did not believe in Jesus yet.
6Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil. 8You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come.” 9When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
Why do people hate Jesus? Jesus did not come to the world and say we are ok and he loves us. Jesus came to tell us we need to stop sinning and be like him. Jesus love is not just for us he demands us to go out and love others when they hate us. We need to see what Jesus said here, we are evil in ourselves. It is called sin and if we fail to follow Jesus and do his demands we fall short. If you at anytime failed to love your Lord as he demands folks you fall and it is not a good thing to call sin ok.
Also I see Jesus is working a sovern plan in a place that folks might not hear the truth. Why do we not see Jesus getting the message out and going to get the Jews right and saved? I think that the plan was not to save all the folks and matter of truth as you know I think Gods plan is to save who he wants. No he does not offer all people salvation. He wrote a book and has the saved in it and they are the elect. Is that fair? If your saved friend that is not fair because you’re a sinner and Jesus does not have to save you!
10But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” 12And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.” 13However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
If God wanted them all to follow Jesus and a happy ending he can do it but it is not what we see. Some say good things about Jesus, Some said he is a cult and ought to die. Jesus said that was going to be the case in Matthew. Jesus is going to make folks go and split from friends and family. It is not easy to make Jesus Lord because it is going to cost you tons. Jews who loved God wanted to kill Jesus anyway they could.
14Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 15And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
Jesus wrote the things he was teaching. He wrote the bible really. Jesus tells the truth and not what folk want to hear. He was not like the people of his time Jesus got it right every time and he told the folks about his love and grace. Jews wanted to be making rules to control folks and Jesus made the law to free folks.
1 do not go to follow the Laws if they are not right follow the grace of Jesus and allow him to direct you.
