Is It Really Worth It? (10 of 31)
Series: The Gospel Of John

John 7:1-24
Turn to John 7:1-24 this morning. We’re continuing in our series titled ‘‘The Gospel of John,’’ looking at the message and miracles of Jesus through the lens of the Apostle John’s eyes. This is during a time of great conflict in the life of Jesus. As we’ll learn, the conflict comes from those pesky and feisty Pharisees. But some of the pushback also comes from people we never would have imagined would try to hurt Jesus or bring Him scorn. In fact, we’ll see how Jesus’ family interacts with Him. So I want to look at the life and experience of Jesus, then draw some parallels to our own lives.
As I spend time with Jesus while reading these Gospels, I come to certain places and want you to go there with me. These are places of wondering what Jesus was thinking, humanly speaking. We know He was all divine, but we also know He was all human. I wonder what His humanity might have been thinking as people around Him respond to Him. Let’s remember, Jesus is divinity incarnate. He came to earth on a mission to seek and save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). He’s helping people with all kinds of temporal needs. He’s healing people. He’s taking away demons. He’s even raising people from the dead. Jesus is doing a lot of great stuff, but the response He gets is very, very cold. In fact, it’s hostile. The prophet Isaiah said that we would not esteem Him when He came (Isaiah 53:3-4). John says in John 1 that His own people did not receive Him. But who would have thought His own family-His flesh and blood-would have been part of that as well?
This morning we’re going to look at three truths, then my desire is to dispel two lies the world tells us. I want to bring you hope this morning. I want to bring you peace. I want to make sure you walk out with a greater level of confidence than what you brought into this place. I want to make sure you know you’re on the victorious side of thi ...
