This Is Really The Prophet – This Is The Christ
When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This is really the prophet.” Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ is descended from David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” So there was a division among the people over him. Some of them even wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him. John 7:40-44
The question about who Jesus really was/is, echoes through time. The Pharisees believed those who surrendered their lives to Jesus were deceived, that the crowds claiming, “This is the Christ.” did not know the law and were accursed because of it.
This moment could be taken from any large gathering today. Much has changed and much remains the same.
LORD, may eyes be opened, ears hear, and spirits believe. May your merciful grace fall upon on all souls. May the world proclaim, “This is the Christ!”
Peace be with you. Alleluia.
