John 7:40-7:53

Is Anyone Thirsty? - Part 2

Only the God who made us can fill the thirst we have within for the living God. We are discontent and empty until we discover God?s provision, the living water. When we believe, the Holy Spirit indwells, guiding and setting us apart. In this passage, we witness the confusion on the part of the crowds as to who Jesus is. Pastor Lloyd points us to our responsibility to keep reading and keep pursuing because we have a duty to truth. This is still true in today?s culture where truth compels us to respond to the cultural confusion.

  1. Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
  2. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
  3. Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
  4. So there was a division among the people because of him.
  5. And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
  6. Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
  7. The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
  8. Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
  9. Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
  10. But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
  11. Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
  12. Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
  13. They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
  14. And every man went unto his own house.
