The Tension is Rising | John 7:28-32 | Behold The Lamb

Behold The Lamb

Nov 5

Remember, Jesus has been teaching in the Temple right in the middle of the Feast of Tabernacles. His teaching was amazing and the conversation with His audience has progressed. Last time, Jesus had called out the religious leaders' "Sabbath hypocrisy" and by doing so, He effectively silenced them! Now, this confuses the Jewish crowd because they know the religious leaders hate Jesus and want Him gone, so why are they not doing anything? As a result, they begin discussing and debating Jesus' identity, and because He knows this, He seeks to clarify WHO He is and where He is from. When He does this, the religious leaders’ blood begins to boil as they will send temple officers to take Him into custody. They are now beginning to put “shoe leather” on their plan to kill Him… John 7:28-32
