Tuesday, July 5: Scripture – John 7:40-44
40 When they heard these words, some in the crowd said, “This is really the prophet.”
41 Others said, “This is the Messiah.” But some asked, “Surely the Messiah does not come from Galilee, does he?
42 Has not the scripture said that the Messiah is descended from David and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
43 So there was a division in the crowd because of him.
44 Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.
Prayer Focus: The reaction to Jesus’s words about the Holy Spirit and living water is mixed. Some believe he is a prophet. Others claim that Jesus is the Messiah. Still others doubt that the Messiah could come from Galilee because they think the scriptures teach something different. Jesus is not always easily understood, but everyone has some kind of reaction. Pray that we might transcend our divisions and, by the Spirit, really get to know Jesus..
