The Gospel of John 7:14-15 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?” (John 7:14-15 KJV)

The Lord Jesus Christ succeeded to sneak in the feast unnoticed and was able to sense the pulse of the crowd. As expected, He saw their conflicting views about Him, His ministry and the heavenly signs He manifest for their benefit. Hence, middle through the seven days of feast, He went to the temple. That's where the religious leaders and the religious crowd gather for their religious rituals. Just like today's religious festivities, where people converge at their elaborate structures of worship to perform un biblical rituals and hear their religious designed messaging to keep them in the comfort of their blindfold of lies.

As the Lord teaches, His teachings are definitely not of this world. Neither religious, nor aligned with the creed of priests and Pharisees, whom He rebuked and called upon to turn around and believe. He talked in the language of heaven, with words of grace and truth. His teachings are loaded with wisdom that many are amazed considering that He was not mentored by any of their renowned rabbinic teachers of the time, nor trained in any of their 'Ivy League' places and seminaries of learning. Many knew Him as only a child of a poor carpenter growing up in a backward village called Nazareth.

When the Lord Jesus Christ was twelve years old growing in our human form, an account was recorded in the Book of Luke, He declared that He must be about His Father's business, which we should too, as children of God. It is written: “Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.” And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”” (Luke 2:46-49 NKJV)

And I say, AMEN!
