CC-Art.com Jesus teaching in the temple court. John 7:25-39 (Amplified Bible) 25Then some of the Jerusalem people said, Is not this the Man they seek to kill?     26And here He is speaking openly, and they say nothing to Him! Can it be possible that the rulers have discovered and know that this is truly the Christ?     27No, we know where this Man comes from; when the Christ arrives, no one is to know from what place He comes.     28Whereupon Jesus called out as He taught in the temple [porches], Do you know Me, and do you know where I am from? I have not come on My own authority and of My own accord and as self-appointed, but the One Who sent Me is true (real, genuine, steadfast); and Him you do not know!     29I know Him [Myself] because I come from His [very] presence, and it was He [personally] Who sent Me.     30Therefore they were eager to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, for His hour (time) had not yet come.     31And besides, many of the multitude believed in Him [adhered to Him, trusted in Him, relied on Him]. And they kept saying, When the Christ comes, will He do [can He be expected to do] more miracles and produce more proofs and signs than what this Man has done?     32The Pharisees learned how the people were saying these things about Him under their breath; and the chief priests and Pharisees sent attendants (guards) to arrest Him.     33Therefore Jesus said, For a little while I am [still] with you, and then I go back to Him Who sent Me.     34You will look for Me, but you will not [be able to] find Me; where I am, you cannot come.     35Then the Jews said among themselves, Where does this Man intend to go that we shall not find Him? Will He go to the Jews who are scattered in the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?     36What does this statement of His mean, You will look for Me and not be able to find Me, and, Where I am, you cannot come?     37Now on the final and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood, and He cried in a loud voice, If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!     38He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water.     39But He was speaking here of the Spirit, Whom those who believed (trusted, had faith) in Him were afterward to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor). It was all there for anyone who wanted to see.  Anyone whose heart was desirous of God could see and know that Jesus was indeed the Messiah, the Christ. Often, Believers are like those who did not believe.  We believe in Jesus.  We have accepted Him as our Savior.  Yet, when He reveals Truths through Scripture or prayer, we refuse to act; we refuse to listen.  We become stubborn like the mule and the horse.  We do not like what we see; therefore, we choose to ignore it.  And in our ignorance, we commit sin upon sin. In the last three verses, Jesus promises the Holy Spirit.  The Spirit was sent to all Believers and resides in our hearts to reveal the Truth. Is there a truth that He is revealing to you and you are refusing to act – to be obedient? A disobedient Child of God is a miserable Child of God. Won’t you say “Yes” to Jesus?  Won’t you end your torment and be obedient?
