John 7:14-24

Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. 15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? 20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man. 23 If a man on the Sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath day? 24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

    1. Jesus was teaching the Jews without 'training'

    2. Jesus was accused of having a devil

    3. The law (of God) given to the Jews by Moses was not being observed

    INTERPRETATION:

    What do you interpret these verses to mean for you today?

    When doing the will of God expect opposition, and even danger to come your way from those who are out of the will of God. Do God's will always, even if others say you shouldn't.


    APPLY

    Today, I learned _to expect opposition, and to be faithful to my calling no matter what obstacle I face_ and apply it to my life

    PRAYER: Dear God, Jesus spoke with authority, so much so, that it surprised the well-educated in the temple. Help us to surprise ourselves and others by our knowledge of Jesus’s goals, which he receives from God. Heal our hunger, so we keep to our diet for we want to be healthy representatives of you. Amen

    1. The Jews questioned who taught Him what He knew.

    2. He explains he learned what He knew from God as we should.

    3. Jesus says judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

    We need to do the will of God and not our own understandings.



    APPLY

    Today, I learned __through our daily obstacles, we need to do the will of God and follow his guidance____and apply it to my life
