[h=3]John 7:32-36[/h]New International Version - UK (NIVUK)

[SUP]32 [/SUP]The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
[SUP]33 [/SUP]Jesus said, ‘I am with you for only a short time, and then I am going to the one who sent me. [SUP]34 [/SUP]You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.’
[SUP]35 [/SUP]The Jews said to one another, ‘Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? [SUP]36 [/SUP]What did he mean when he said, “You will look for me, but you will not find me,” and “Where I am, you cannot come”?’

These are my thoughts please share yours.

32 The Pharisees did not like the shift of power that Jesus caused, power switched from them being leaders of the people to Christ guiding the people.

33 This is something the disciple did not understand until He returned after He rose again. To die was christ main reason for coming to earth, not His only reason but the first most reason.

34 Jesus was going to be in heaven without Jesus none get into heaven.

35 The people thought that He meant He was going to hide among the people through out the world. Without Christ in our life we can not truly understand His words.

36 It is not our place to find death, it is the Lord will all should die until that point we should live for Him.

Hi Clark,

All throughout Jesus public ministry the Jewish leadership tried to have him arrested and killed - but his time had not yet come. They were wrong when they said, "a prophet does not come out of Galilee", John7:52 - because the prophet Jonah was from Gathhepher located in Galilee. And they were wrong when they did not accept Jesus as the Messiah. Jesus of Nazareth was disliked enormously by the pharisees and chief priest for many many reasons; hanging out with sinners, claiming he had the power to forgive sins, claiming he was equal with God - so yes they were afraid of Jesus authority.

And yes Jesus show us who our heavenly Father was pointed us to the way back home - praise God!
