Message: “The Jesus Schism” from Matt Chapin
Matt Chapin - November 13, 2022
The Jesus Schism
John 7:37-52 captures Jesus publicly offering "living water" (the Holy Spirit) to all who believe in Him. This bold proclamation deeply divides the crowds and frustrates the religious leaders, leading the temple guards to defend Jesus and the Pharisee Nicodemus to unsuccessfully plead for a fair legal hearing.
Scripture References: John 7:37-52
From Series: "The Gospel of John: That We May Believe"
The Gospel of John is about revealing Jesus as the divine Son of God, the promised Messiah, who offers eternal life to all who believe in Him, emphasizing His deity through powerful "signs" (miracles) and "I AM" statements, contrasting light with darkness, and focusing on Jesus as the Word made flesh, explaining God's will and love for humanity to foster faith and a deeper relationship with God.
