Know the Facts!

Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?”  The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this Man!” Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived? Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him?  But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” Nicodemus (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them) said to them, “Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?” They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”                 (John 7:45-52)
 No man speaks like Jesus? I guess not! He is no mere man. He is the GOD-man! He is 100% God and 100% man. One must know the facts!

Nicodemus is being a bit more bold now. (see John 3) He suggests that the high priests hear JESUS out. (John 7:51) He reminds them of their laws. Yet the Pharisees, still blinded, ask wrongly if any prophet ever comes from Galilee.(John 7:52)

First, Jesus was born in Bethlehem....remember the census, the angels singing, the shepherds keeping watch by night, the little drummer boy, kings and royalty travelling from the Far East? Oh right, the Pharisees were sound asleep and missed that message too!

Secondly,  by the way guys, Jesus is not simply a prophet either . . . He is MESSIAH!!!

Know the facts . . .
