    Psalm Reading

    Psalm 80:4–7 “O Lord God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers? You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in full measure. You make us an object of contention for our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves. Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved!”

    Reading

    John 7:25–36 ESV
    Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ? But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.” So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know. I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.” So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?” The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him. Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me. You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.” The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? What does he mean by saying, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?”

    Sermon

    Feast of Booths
    This is the middle of the Feast of Booths
    Jesus’ authority
    Jesus purifying the whole body
    They sought to kill him
    Sanhedrin Members Repsonse...
    John 7:19–20 ESV
    Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?” The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?”
    John 7:25–27 ESV
    Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ? But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.”
    The people outside knew very well the entention of the Sanhedrin
    Jesus was in open defiance of the Sanhedrin, and despite the threat of death over him continues unabated
    Surely the Sanhedrin haven’t decided he is the Christ?
    reason for dismissing the posibility “when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from”
    This appears to have been popular theology at the time - sudden appearance
    Isaiah 53:2–3 ESV
    For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
    1 Samuel 16:1 ESV
    The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.”
    Micah 5:2 ESV
    But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.
    John 7:28 ESV
    So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know.
    Jesus response is ridicule of their argument
    Jesus highlights the irony of their statement
    For they do not know him nor do they comprehend where is is from
    Because you do not know God, the Father
    John 7:29 ESV
    I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”
    Major Premise: No one will know where the real Messiah comes from.
    Minor Premise: We know where Jesus comes from.
    Conclusion: Hence, Jesus cannot be the real Messiah.
    Each one is false, so the conclusion is also false
    Jesus here affirms that he claims to be the Messiah, and that God commissioned him, and proclaims the truth
    and that as the Christ he alone knows the Father thoroughly
    John 7:30–31 ESV
    So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”
    Jesus’ language was clear
    the highest claims with respect to his own person and origin
    exposed to ridicule the pretended knowledge of the Jerusalemites
    blunt, unmistakable language - They do no know God
    “They were seeking to arrest him”
    “but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come”
    “Many of the people believed in him”
    Their logic “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”
    John 7:32 ESV
    The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
    Those who shold have been mostzealous in the defence of the Messiah send officers to arrest him
    John 7:33 ESV
    Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.
    Jesus knows he has 6 months before his death
    He now speaks of His return to the Father when his work is complete
    John 7:34 ESV
    You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.”
    There is no room for those who reject Jesus
    The warning spoken of in...
    Psalm 95:8–11 ESV
    do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, when your fathers put me to the test and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work. For forty years I loathed that generation and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.” Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They shall not enter my rest.”
    John 7:35–36 ESV
    The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? What does he mean by saying, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?”
    Their response is to shrug off Jesus’ warning and disclosure of their dreadful sin
    They derided Jesus by saying - “so are you going to going to preach to the Gentiles, becuase you have failed amongst the Jews”
