John 7
Messiah Among Murderers
After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him. “You are demon-possessed,” the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
John 7:1, 20
Jesus was called demon possessed and in later times, He was even accused of being a sorcerer. These are things no one talks about. How many people read John 7 closely? Do you see how intense this chapter is?
Beyond even the intense dramatics of his conversion with Joseph & Mary’s sons, James, Josh & Jude, JESUS has no interest in the conventions of man and thoroughly upsets the established systems and programs.
As just one tiny side note, it is clear that JESUS would not have been permitted to do any miracles at most religious gatherings today, certainly not in any reformed groups.
