The Prophet Of Galilee, Which Became The Messiah

The challenge of Nicodemus, unbelieving Pharisees answered

Surely it is not also from Galilee, are you? Search and you will see that no prophet is to go to Galilee.

~ John 7:52 (NRSV).

At this point, the Pharisees procedure have been cooked up Rage Against the man who was coming of the Messiah - a man, Jesus of Nazareth: God incarnate.

Unfortunately, the Pharisees, they were right on the wrong things. The Pharisees looked down the other Galileans, but even worse, at this stage - much of Jesus' earthly - were losing their spiritual leader, every day. In fact, however, many other prophets - like Jonah, Hosea and Nahum, at least - had come from Galilee. Minor Prophet Micah (at 5:02), emphasizes the Messiah had come from Bethlehem - ". A little clans of Judah," "The Prophet" did not come from Galilee as they said, because it is assumed that Jesus was born in Galilee, because he was grew up there. But, "The Prophet" was also called a Nazarene (cf. Matthew 2:23. Isaiah 11:01), what is the irony of the Pharisees they did not pick up.

The fact that Jesus was born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth, mounted at least two prophecies of the Old Testament, separated about the coming of the Messiah.

Thus, experts in law and in Israel's history - the law and the prophets - the Pharisees were floundering. As Jesus 'ministry' was flourishing, which were becoming UNPICKED seams.

Nicodemus - A LIGHT Pharisee

This instance of a simple question Nicodemus before his fellow Pharisees is the second of three paintings that the fourth gospel in a positive light.

The first involved Nicodemus comes to Jesus in a disposition of humility who want to learn more about the kingdom (John 3:1-15). Interment third involved the honor of Jesus, Nicodemus deliver 75 pounds of spices (John 19:38-42).

This Pharisee has shown the wisdom of the vision, the ability to distinguish between the truth and the courage to question authority, and commit resources to the honor of the "prophet", has no doubt appreciated as more than a prophet.

Many a Pharisee Pharisees completely different, we can learn a lot about the ignorance and arrogance and humility and wisdom, just by contrast.

A Department of RISE

A prophet of Galilee, which - in which "no" would arise - Jesus' reputation was growing. I was about to take part in this fiasco that was the woman caught in adultery (John 7:53 to 8:11). This time it was "the realm of physical healing in the screen, but his compassion, wisdom, intuition and the righteous indignation of a stone's throw to throw their metaphorical comments stones so called" Jesus guilty "woman who was not are guilty.

This prophet of Galilee was not typical prophet. Each step along each dusty tracks and paved road was a step closer to the eternal destiny is the cross.

The ministry of Jesus does not stop, or even stop his death. He also became an eternal priest and king prophet of all ages. Jesus' ministry continues through the Holy Spirit. And the department will not stop the Pharisees intercessions arrogant people.

This Jesus is a ministry to grow, more and more. It will never stop growing.
