John 7:1-36
ViewpointHow do you see Jesus?
POLITICS
I. Some see his disposition
Vs. 1-2
(Joh 7:1-2) After these things Jesus walked in
Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the
Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at
hand.
(Joh 6:1) After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the
sea of Tiberias.
(Joh 6:2) And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that
were diseased.
(Joh 6:3) And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his
disciples.
(Joh 6:4) And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

II. Some are disillusioned
Vs. 3-7
(Joh 7:3-5) His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart
hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For there is no
man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be
known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. For neither did his brethren believe in him.
III. Some see a Decent man
Vs. 12a
(Joh 7:11-13) Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? And there was much murmuring among
the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man:
others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. Howbeit no man spake openly of him for
fear of the Jews.
(Luk 18:18-19) And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Jesus
said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
none is good, save one, that is, God.
IV. Some see a Deceiver
Vs. 12b
(Joh 7:11-13) Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? And there was much murmuring among
the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man:
others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
V. Some see good doctrine
Vs. 14-15
(Joh 6:66-71) From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more
with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter
answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we
believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered
them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should
betray him, being one of the twelve.
"The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no
more than a Messenger before whom many Messengers have
passed away; and his mother adhered wholly
to truthfulness, and they both ate food (as other mortals do). See
how We make Our signs clear to them; and see where they are turning away!" (Quran 5:75).
Secondly, when I say that I am "for Jesus", I do not mean
to imply in any way that I have converted to
Christianity or that I now believe Jesus to be a god.
What I do mean is that I have come to have a great deal of respect for the teachings of Jesus. My respect for Jesus is not based on the Cross, but rather on the Mount--not on
His death and supposed resurrection, but on His
teachings as exemplified by the Sermon on the Mount.

VI. Some see a person demonized
Vs. 20
(Joh 7:19-20) Did not Moses give you the law,
and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? The
people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill
thee?
MegalomaniaMegalomania is an unrealistic belief
in one's superiority, impressive abilities, and even omnipotence. It is
characterized by a need for total power and control over others, and is marked by a lack of empathy for anything that is perceived as not
feeding the self.
VII. Some see a deliverer
Vs. 31
(Joh 7:31) And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will
he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
VIII. Some will see his departure
Vs. 33-34
(Joh 7:31) And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will
he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
(Joh 7:33) Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto
him that sent me.
(Joh 7:34) Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and
where I am, thither ye cannot come.
(Isa 55:6) Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
(Jer 29:12-13) Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye
shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me
with all your heart.
