In this passage, we can discover some amazing themes about God and about human nature.<\/p>\r\n<p>Our passage for this episode is found in John\u2019s gospel, chapter 7, and we will read it from the New International Version of the Bible. Starting in verse 37, John tells us that:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>37\u00a0<\/sup>On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, \u201cLet anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.\u00a0<sup>38\u00a0<\/sup>Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.\u201d\u00a0<sup>39\u00a0<\/sup>By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Pausing briefly, I am fascinated by both Jesus\u2019 words and by John\u2019s side-note. Within Jesus\u2019 words, we see Him claim a prophecy about living water and Jesus takes this claim and applies it to Himself. Within His message, Jesus promises all who believe in Him living water, and John tells us that this living water represents the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, I am a little perplexed at John\u2019s side-note, because from the way John describes Jesus\u2019 promise, the Holy Spirit being given was something pushed into the future. However, I am pretty sure by this point in His ministry, Jesus\u2019 disciples had been sent out in pairs and had cast demons out of people and healed them. <strong>The only way Jesus\u2019 disciples could have done any miracles, cast any demons out, or healed anyone is if they had the Holy Spirit working in them.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>To reconcile these two ideas, I must conclude that something more significant changed when the disciples received the Holy Spirit following Jesus\u2019 return to heaven, and that the transformation that took place when the Holy Spirit was given was unmistakably different from simply healing people and casting out demons.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, following Jesus\u2019 words and John\u2019s side-note, the crowd is given a chance to respond and react. Continuing in verse 40, John tells us that:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>40\u00a0<\/sup>On hearing his words, some of the people said, \u201cSurely this man is the Prophet.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>41\u00a0<\/sup>Others said, \u201cHe is the Messiah.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Still others asked, \u201cHow can the Messiah come from Galilee?\u00a0<sup>42\u00a0<\/sup>Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David\u2019s descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?\u201d\u00a0<sup>43\u00a0<\/sup>Thus the people were divided because of Jesus.\u00a0<sup>44\u00a0<\/sup>Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Pausing again, I am fascinated at the thought process that went through the crowd\u2019s discussion about Jesus. In this passage, John describes some people calling Jesus, \u201cThe Prophet\u201d, while others openly declared Jesus to be the Messiah.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, to contrast these positive declarations about Jesus, others in the crowd focused on Jesus being from Galilee, and how scriptures say Jesus was to be born in Bethlehem, and from the line of David\u2019s descendants.<\/p>\r\n<p>Part of me wonders if Jesus had left at that point, if the crowd was not interested in asking the simple question about Jesus\u2019 birth location, or if Jesus intentionally chose not to reveal the story of His birth and the miraculous escape to Egypt. I wonder if knowing the background of this event would have changed the minds of those in the crowd. I suspect that it would have, but I also suspect that <strong>if the crowd was united about Jesus being the Messiah, then it is likely Jesus never would have made it to the cross.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Satan had done a masterful job of twisting the first century culture towards looking for a messiah who would militarily fight against the Romans, and Jesus\u2019 mission as a Messiah was distinctly different. Jesus wasn\u2019t interested in meddling with the politics of that area, and the only time politics entered the discussion was when other people were trying to trap Him to discredit Him.<\/p>\r\n<p>At this point in Jesus\u2019 ministry, I suspect that He wanted to leave room for doubt within this crowd\u2019s mind, because with room for doubt, we are able to have faith, and with room for doubt, we are able to better identify assumptions we might have.<\/p>\r\n<p>The crowd assumed that since Jesus grew up in Galilee from a relatively young age, that Jesus was born in Galilee. Drawing this assumption into the light demonstrates how it could easily be proven false, but I suspect that families didn\u2019t separate or move too far apart from each other.<\/p>\r\n<p>It is also easy to assume that Jesus was born in Nazareth, which was a town in the region of Galilee, because both Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth prior to Jesus\u2019 birth, and they moved there following their return from Egypt. If someone were condensing the story of Mary and Joseph, they could simply leave out anything about the census affecting Jesus\u2019 birth and the young couple\u2019s escape to Egypt, and what would be left is that the engaged couple that we began with who lived in Nazareth was raising the boy Jesus in Nazareth several years later.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, God did have a plan for this, and I suspect God\u2019s plan for Jesus\u2019 birth when compared with where Jesus would be raised had something to do with challenging the preconceived ideas of the religious leaders.<\/p>\r\n<p>Picking back up reading in verse 45, John concludes our passage by telling us:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>45\u00a0<\/sup>Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you bring him in?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>46\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cNo one ever spoke the way this man does,\u201d the guards replied.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>47\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cYou mean he has deceived you also?\u201d the Pharisees retorted.\u00a0<sup>48\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cHave any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?\u00a0<sup>49\u00a0<\/sup>No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law\u2014there is a curse on them.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>50\u00a0<\/sup>Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked,\u00a0<sup>51\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cDoes our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>52\u00a0<\/sup>They replied, \u201cAre you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>In this passage, we can clearly see that the religious leaders, Nicodemus excluded, had prejudged Jesus simply because of where He was raised. They discounted Jesus as the Messiah because they assumed He was born in Nazareth, or at least somewhere in Galilee, and that this did not match that single prophecy.<\/p>\r\n<p>I find it also amazing to realize the extreme prejudice these religious leaders show when faced with the challenge to judge Jesus based on His words and His actions. I suspect these religious leaders are prejudiced against Jesus because they understand that nothing they have seen and heard conflicts with God but that Jesus didn\u2019t match up with their picture of the messiah. The clearest way Jesus did not fit the prophecies in their minds was with their assumptions about Jesus\u2019 origins and Jesus\u2019 place of birth. <strong>The religious leaders reject Jesus as someone who is trying to pull the focus and glory away from God and perhaps away from the actual messiah they believed would be born and raised within Bethlehem.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>We too face this challenge today when we let our assumptions about Jesus get in the way of simply asking the question. If the crowd had pushed past their assumptions and researched into Jesus\u2019 birth story, they would have discovered a birth that took place in Bethlehem, but circumstances that made it unwise to stay there for long, or to return there when the immediate threat had subsided. We can easily fall into the trap of assuming things about Jesus today, but we are challenged to push past our assumptions, and let the Bible teach us what God wants us to know about Jesus, about His mission, and about what Jesus ultimately accomplished for each of us when we place our faith, hope, trust, and belief in Him.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>As we come to the end of another podcast episode, here are the challenges I will leave you with:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>As I always challenge you to do, intentionally seek God first in your life and choose to place your faith, your hope, your trust, and your belief in Jesus and specifically in what He accomplished for us through dying on the cross. Trust that when we place our belief and faith in Jesus, we are accepted by God, adopted into His family, and will be resurrected when Jesus returns if we have fallen asleep in Jesus.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Also, continue praying and studying the Bible for yourself to grow your personal relationship with God even stronger. Through regular prayer and Bible study, discover how the Bible opens your heart to God and to His Holy Spirit, and how studying the Bible transforms your life from the inside as you grow closer to God and to Jesus.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>And as I end every set of challenges by saying in one way or another, never stop short of, back away from, chicken out of, or give up on where God wants to lead you to in your life with Him!<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p>\r\nYear in John &#8211; Episode 18: When Jesus makes a bold declaration at the end of a one important Jewish feast holiday, discover how Jesus&#8217; words divide the crowd. Discover how some assumptions about Jesus stopped those in the first century from believing in Him, and how assumptions in our own lives can stop us from accepting Jesus in our own lives over 2,000 years later.\r\n<\/p><p><strong>Join the discussion.<\/strong> Share your thoughts on this passage.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-audio"],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Assuming too Much: John 7:37-52 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\/gospeladventure\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Assuming too Much: John 7:37-52 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\/gospeladventure\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reflectivebiblestudy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-05-02T09:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Cam\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@godstruthhisway\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@godstruthhisway\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Cam\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/6aa6c062baad6d28cd49429d13dee5e3\"},\"headline\":\"Assuming too Much: John 7:37-52\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-05-02T09:00:00+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":1727,\"commentCount\":0,\"articleSection\":[\"Audio Journal Entries\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\\\/\",\"name\":\"Assuming too Much: John 7:37-52 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-05-02T09:00:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/6aa6c062baad6d28cd49429d13dee5e3\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/assuming-too-much-john-7-37-52\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Assuming too Much: John 7:37-52\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/\",\"name\":\"Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\",\"description\":\"Your Life.
