A Division Because Of Him

"So there was a division among the people because of Him."  John 7:43.  Some saw Jesus as a prophet.  Others saw Him as the Christ.  These observations were made based upon the Scripture that spoke of Him.  Their judgment was divided.  Does Jesus not cause division today?  Many religious bodies exist because of the opinion that so many have about Jesus?  Opinion is a feeling not based upon any truth.  Some hold Jesus to be the Savior while others believe Him to be a mere man who did good in many respects.  Some confess Him to be the Son of God that came in the flesh.  Still others do not embrace that marvelous truth.  People are divided over the words which were spoken by Jesus.  His words interfere with the self will of man.  Others are divided over the many miracles that He was able to perform.  How can one not see by the miracles that Jesus had divine power.  The world is divided over Jesus by obedience and disobedience.  Some willingly follow Him, while many others do not.  We must see Jesus as the Scriptures reveal Him to be.  Our feeling of Him and our commitment to Him should come from a factual source, and the Bible is that source.
