In reading John 7:25-36, there was confusion and misunderstanding about the right Way. They knew where Jesus was from and believed they would not know where the Messiah was from (v. 27). Some said that Jesus was a good man, but others said that He was a deceiver, so many desired to kill Jesus at this time. They were unsuccessful because His hour had not yet come (v. 30).

The chief priests and Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest Him (v. 32). Jesus said that He would be with them for a short time and then would go to the one who sent Him. He said they would look for Him but would not be able to come where He is. They misunderstood because they thought Jesus meant He would go to another place in this physical world instead of alongside the Father in heaven.

Today’s passage gives us a good lesson in the need to discover the true meaning of what we read, see, or hear. It’s important to gather all the knowledge or information that can be collected. Then, ask questions, reflect, and listen for instructions during our prayer time. Prayer is our greatest power as we ask God for direction.

We trust in the Holy Spirit for directions to lead us along life’s journey to the places where we need to be for it is in Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
