John 7:40-53
Some in the crowd who heard these words of Jesus said,
“This is truly the Prophet.”
Others said, “This is the Christ.”
But others said, “The Christ will not come from Galilee, will he?
Does not Scripture say that the Christ will be of David’s family
and come from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
So a division occurred in the crowd because of him.
Some of them even wanted to arrest him,
but no one laid hands on him.

So the guards went to the chief priests and Pharisees,
who asked them, “Why did you not bring him?”
The guards answered, “Never before has anyone spoken like this man.”
So the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?
Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him?
But this crowd, which does not know the law, is accursed.”
Nicodemus, one of their members who had come to him earlier, said to them,
“Does our law condemn a man before it first hears him
and finds out what he is doing?”
They answered and said to him,
“You are not from Galilee also, are you?
Look and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”

Ito ang Mesiyas!
Juan 7:40-53
40Marami nga sa mga tao, nang marinig ang pananalitang ito ay nagsabi: Totoong ito na nga ang propeta.
41Ang iba ay nagsabi: Ito ang Mesiyas.
Ang iba naman ay nagsabi: Kung gayon, manggagaling ba ang Mesiyas sa Galilea? 42Hindi ba sinabi ng kasulatan: Ang Mesiyas ay magmumula sa lahi ni David? Hindi ba siya ay magmumula sa Bethlehem, ang bayang kinaroonan ni David? 43Nagkaroon nga ng pagkabaha-bahagi ang mga tao dahil kay Jesus. 44Ang iba ay nagnais na hulihin siya ngunit walang humuli sa kaniya.
45Ang mga tanod ay pumunta sa mga pinunong-saserdote at mga Fariseo. Sinabi nila sa kanila: Bakit hindi ninyo siya dinala?
46Sumagot ang mga tanod: Walang taong nakapagsalita tulad ng taong ito.
47Sumagot nga sa kanila ang mga Fariseo: Nailigaw rin ba kayo? 48Mayroon ba sa mga pinuno o sa mga Fariseo na sumampalataya sa kaniya? 49Ang mga taong ito na hindi nakakaalam ng kautusan ay mga isinumpa.
50Si Nicodemo, na pumunta kay Jesus nang gabi, ay kasama nila. Sinabi niya sa kanila: 51Hindi ba ang ating kautusan ay hindi humahatol sa isang tao kung hindi muna siya naririnig nito o hindi muna inaalam ang kaniyang ginagawa?
52Sumagot sila at sinabi sa kaniya: Ikaw ba ay taga-Galilea rin? Saliksikin mo at tingnan sapagkat walang propetang nagbuhat sa Galilea.
53Ang bawat isa ay umuwi sa kani-kaniyang tahanan.

Who is Jesus Christ? Humble Beginnings
He is God's only begotten son, yet He came from the throne of His Father to the womb of a woman. He became Son of Man that we might become sons of God.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of a virgin. He lived in poverty, and was unknown outside of Nazareth. He had neither wealth nor influence.
He laid aside His purple robe for a peasant's gown. He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor. He slept in another's stable; He rode another's donkey; He was buried in another's grave.
Miraculous Ministry
Who is Jesus Christ? History has never known such as He. In infancy, He startled a king. As a boy, He stunned the theologians with His knowledge and wisdom, for His knowledge was directly from God.
In manhood, He ruled the elements and quieted the raging sea. He healed without medicine, and fed thousands from a boy's lunch. Even demons obeyed Him and He gave back life to those who were dead.
Yet He suffered and sustained in body and soul the anger of God against the sin of the whole human race. He was despised and rejected of men. Though He was innocent, He was condemned by a civil judge and sentenced to death on a cross.
By His suffering and death, He paid completely for the sins of all who believe in Him. He set us free from the certain judgment and eternal condemnation of God that was to fall on all of us.
Some have given their lives for others, and great men have come and gone, yet Jesus Christ lives on. Herod could not kill Him. Satan could not stop him. Death could not destroy Him. The grave could not hold Him. Having fully satisfied God's perfect justice, He conquered death and rose on the third day as He said He would.
A Question for Each of Us!
Who is Jesus Christ? For the last 2,000 years, every man, woman and child has been confronted with this same question. In Mathew 16:15, Jesus put it this way, 'But who do you say that I am?' One of His disciples, Simon Peter, replied: 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Now it's your turn. Who do you say that He is?
WHAT DO YOU THINK? - We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
What is your response?
Yes, today I am deciding to follow Jesus
Yes, I am already a follower of Jesus
I still have questions
