Is Jesus the Christ?
Scripture
John 7:25-44
Commentary
The people of Jerusalem have seen and heard
about Jesus for some time and ultimately they must make a
decision as to what they believe about Him. Some accept
His teachings and acknowledge His miracles. Others reject
Him because they do not understand Him and have not taken the
time to evaluate what He says.
After being exposed to Jesus, every person today
must reach a conclusion on Him. Jesus is either the
Messiah or He's not. Some immediately see the difference
that Jesus makes in others and they decide to follow Jesus.
Others react on an emotional level. They
don't like what they hear or see and reject Jesus based on
feelings rather than facts. Or even worse, they make a
search for facts but only facts that support their already
determined position.
It is impossible to be neutral about Jesus.
Just as the crowds in Jerusalem, everyone had an opinion.
