John 8:12-59

Read John 8:12-59 – Rock Star status – our Jesus ROCKS the contemporary religious leaders with some major truth bombs! He validates his testimony (8:16-18).  He tells them they belong to the devil (8:44).  WAKE UP!  These are the men who purposed their lives on religion and got so lost they missed the Savior. They use religion against people and Jesus is not shy to call them out.  Notice the quiet miracles in :20 and :59.  Those in authority wanted Jesus arrested (:20) because of his claims, but it was not yet time.  They picked up rocks to stone him right in the Temple (:59).  Jesus was there before them, and suddenly he was hidden from them and left the Temple.   Look to Jesus today.  Ponder his boldness, and the mysteries.  Jesus Messiah, the Lion of Judah, the Lamb of God, Savior, Redeemer and Lord.  Who is Jesus to you? ❓❔❓❔❓❔❓
