25:20 - Point 4. CHRIST, THE WATER OF LIFE
29:41 Point 5. PREJUDICE AND SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS OF RELIGIOUS SINNERS
The manifestation of Christ’s divinity, particularly through diverse miracles, which He performed drew souls to believe Him (John 7:31). Recipients of miracles from Christ were convinced that the power the expected Messiah was supposed to wield was what they were witnessing. Rather than appreciate the positive impact of Christ’s teaching and miracles, chief priest and the Pharisees became envious and sought ways to eliminate Him.
Their contention bothered on the identity of the
much anticipated Christ which He claimed and which recipients of His teachings and miracles did
affirm to be true. Embittered by this development which erodes their religious positions and
credibility, “the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him” (John 7:32).
The order to
arrest Christ reveals, not only the envy of the Jewish religious leaders but also the identity of
persecutors and the persecuted. However, it is instructive that the threat of arrest did not hinder
Christ from continuing His ministry
