Confusion and Division

Passage: John 7:25-52

Preacher: Steve Lombardo

Series:The Gospel of John

Detail:

Three truths from the text...

1.  While there are many confused opinions about who Jesus is,
     your eternal destiny depends on believing the truth about Him.
     Three groups of people
       •  The Jews (7:1, 11, 13, 15, 35)
       •  The crowd (7:12, 20, 31, 32)
       •  The people of Jerusalem (7:25–27)

2.  Jesus Christ blesses all who believe in Him with rivers of the living
     water of His Spirit.
     Why don't we have "streams" of living water?
       •  Distracted from Christ—our hearts are in the world
       •  Distorted view of Christ—our hearts are not in the Word

3.  Because Jesus claims exclusive allegiance as the truth, He invariably
     causes division among people.
