John 7:14-24

"Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.  The Jews were amazed and asked, 'How did this man get such learning without having studied?'

Jesus answered, 'My teaching is not my own.  It comes from him who sent me.  If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.  He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.  Has not Moses given you the law?  Yet not one of you keeps the law.  Why are you trying to kill me?'

'You are demon possessed' the crowd answered.  'Who is trying to kill you?'

Jesus said to them, 'I did one miracle, and you are all astonished.  Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a child on the Sabbath.  Now if a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing the whole man on the Sabbath?  Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment.'

One Point to Ponder

Believe the words of Christ, 

he was not here on earth to be a super-hero, 

he simply was doing his father's will.  

If anyone rejects Christ, 

they also reject the one who sent him, 

the Lord God Almighty!
