(Jesus continued) “Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?” The people answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill You.” John 7:19 , 20 Lies….these Jews could not tell the truth or they would expose their plot. They knew […]

(Jesus continued) “He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of Him who sent him is true, and in him is no falsehood.” John 7:18 Oh to be like You Lord and full of Your wisdom and knowledge. Oh to know You better and better so […]

So Jesus said to them, (Jews) “My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me; if any man’s will is to do His will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.” John 7:16, 17 Lord this reminds me of the scripture that says […]

The Jews marveled at it, (Jesus teaching) saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when He has never studied?” John 7:15 Lord over and over we hear of the Jews being baffled about You. You were teaching and they could not understand how You knew so much when You had not studied. Thank […]

But after His (Jesus) brothers had gone up to the feast, then He also went up, not publicly, but in private. The Jews were looking for Him at the feast, and saying, “Where is He?” John 7:10, 11 Lord You knew the hearts of these men. You knew they were out to get You and […]

Jesus said to them, (his brothers) “My time has not yet come but your time is always here. The world cannot hate you but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil. Go to the feast yourselves; I am not going up to this feast, for My time has not […]

For even His (Jesus) brother did not believe in Him. John 7:5 Lord thank You for families. Thank You for families that believe in one another. Thank You for families that accept each other and love each other in spite of their differences. Thank You for the joy of family gatherings. Thank You Lord.

(Jesus brothers continued talking to Him) “For no man works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” John 7:4 Lord, Your brothers meant well. They wanted You to go all over and show everyone what You could do. It would make You famous […]
