John 7 – The Listening Plan

Devotional

So there was a division among the people because of Him.

– John 7:43

It should not surprise us that this is still the case. The name and person of Jesus causes great division among people. A division that at times can seem irreconcilable. The differences of beliefs, opinions, and views on who Jesus is are significant. Thus it is essential that Christians hold a reasoned faith that can be articulated with grace and in patience. As Peter wrote, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15).
