Teaching at the Feast of Booths

Rev. Sean Kilgo, pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Lawrence, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study John 7:14-31.

During the middle of the Feast of Booths, Jesus begins to teach in Jerusalem. The Jews there marvel that Jesus can teach such things though He has never studied formally from any of their rabbis. Jesus identifies His teaching with His Father’s teaching and once again reminds His hearers that Moses taught the truth about Him. Jesus’ teaching prompts even more questions about who He is and where He comes from. Some people believe in Jesus; some want to arrest Him. However, no one lays a hand on Jesus for the hour of His death had not yet come.

“The Word Made Flesh” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Gospel according to St. John. The disciple whom Jesus loved wrote his Gospel account as an eyewitness to Jesus’ life and ministry. As we read the Word of God recorded by St. John, the Holy Spirit works in us so that we might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so have life by faith in His name.
