  2. A reminder to consider others Please: Turn off your cell phone or set to vibrate only Turn off sound to all electronic devices Use the nursery or cry room if your child is fussy Get up during the preaching only if absolutely necessary (please sit in back if you must leave early)

  3. Judging with Righteous JudgmentJohn 7:1-24 Jesus’ brothers think He should go to Jerusalem to do His works publically and gain a larger following Jesus’ time was not yet fully come - His brothers could go without Him

  4. Judging with Righteous JudgmentJohn 7:1-24 Jesus went to the feast late so that He could avoid public attention Jesus’ purpose was to seek and save sinners - that is to be the purpose of His followers The cost of following Jesus is high – Your will becomes subservient to His will

  5. Anticipation of JesusJohn 7:11-13 “The Jews” = the Jewish religious leaders Sukkot = Feast of Booths / Tabernacles, Feast of Ingathering occurring for 7 days in mid October

  6. Anticipation of JesusJohn 7:11-13 goggusmo;V / gongusmos = grumbling / complaining / murmuring - speaking softly to avoid being overheard The people were arguing about Jesus’ identity - but would not speak openly out of fear of the Jews

  7. Astonished at JesusJohn 7:14-15 Jesus arrives in Jerusalem without drawing attention to Himself - then goes to the Temple to teach Jesus’ teaching amazed the Jews, but they belittled Him questioning how He had learned

  8. Answer of Jesus, Round 1John 7:16-18 The teaching of the Jews was dependent upon the traditions and interpretations that had developed over time It is good to consider the wisdom of others, but do not substitute the teaching of men for God’s revelation

  9. Answer of Jesus, Round 1John 7:16-18 Jesus’ teaching came straight from God the Father undiluted by human speculation and scripture twisting A primary reason people reject Jesus’ teaching is that they do not like His message - 2 Timothy 4:3-4

  10. Answer of Jesus, Round 1John 7:16-18 Those who seek truth will find Jesus (John 14:6), and will know truth by following Him - John 8:31-32 Those speaking for God will seek His glory instead of their own Jesus sought God’s glory while the Jews sought their own

  11. Antagonism Toward JesusJohn 7:19-20 These Jews claimed to be the experts and keepers of the Mosaic Law yet purposely violated it The multitude is a mixture of those favorable, neutral and antagonistic toward Jesus

  12. Antagonism Toward JesusJohn 7:19-20 Common people are often unaware of what their leaders do and plot - and skeptical of the truth about them

  13. Answer of Jesus, Round 2John 7:21-23 John 5:1-18 records Jesus healing a lame man on the Sabbath and the Jews plotting to kill Him for it Circumcision, which predates Moses, will be carried out on the eighth day even if it falls on a Sabbath

  14. Answer of Jesus, Round 2John 7:21-23 The Jews were inconsistent in the application of their Sabbath restrictions They were unjustly angry over Jesus’ violating their Sabbath restrictions by healing a man

  15. Assessment of JesusJohn 7:24 They had wrongly judged Jesus because they used man’s standards as the basis Righteous judgment is concerned with truth, not appearances. Jesus’ claims must be judged by truth, not perceptions

  16. Assessment of JesusJohn 7:24 God will judge based on your actions, not appearance The Lord’s goodness is not determined by whether you get what you want - He gives what you need Learn to pursue truth wherever it takes you even if you don’t like it and it takes a lot of time
