Is This Man The One

Scripture: 40 When the crowd heard Jesus’ words, some said, “This man really is a prophet!” 41 Others said, “He’s the Messiah!” But others said, “How could he be the Anointed One since he’s from Galilee? 42 Don’t the Scriptures say that he will be one of David’s descendants and be born in Bethlehem, the city of David?” 43 So the crowd was divided over Jesus, 44 some wanted him arrested but no one dared to lay a hand on him. (John 7:40-44 The Passion) The crowd, including the Jewish leaders, were having such a difficult time trying to fit Jesus into their preconceived ideas. They heard him speak and said, “Maybe he’s a prophet, maybe he is the Messiah. Then they said he doesn’t come from the right place.” How often do I/you do the same thing; question what is happening and try to justify or figure out why it is not so? Father, help me today, and all days, to believe You and not try to figure everything out in my own way. You are God and I am not. AMEN I will shout in celebration of praise to my Lord! Because I love Him and delight in Him, I will cherish His words and be blessed beyond expectation! Psalm 112
