His Doctrine and Living Water
People debate Jesus' identity while he calls thirsty people to come to him.
Today’s reading: John 7Read the entire chapter in the King James Version.
Before and during your reading
As Jesus goes to the feast, the crowd is divided over him. Listen to the questions people ask and compare their claims with what Jesus actually says. His teaching emphasizes that his doctrine comes from the Father who sent him. On the last day of the feast, Jesus speaks of living water, which John explains in connection with the Spirit. Distinguish the text's explanation from the crowd's competing interpretations.
Questions to consider
- What different opinions about Jesus appear among the people?
- Where does Jesus say his teaching comes from?
