1. Why did the Lord begin to talk to the religious leaders about the law of Moses?
2. How, specifically, did the religious leaders go against the law?
3. Give an example from this passage concerning the doctrinal point, "Righteous judgment sees beneath surface appearances."
4. Cite a verse from this passage that says, in effect, "God is not known by those who refuse to hear Jesus."
answers
1. Because the people were so proud of the law, and always appealing to it, but the Lord tells them that they are not keeping the law (John 7.22-23).
2. See John 7.22. Also, they were seeking to kill Jesus, which was a transgression of the law, "Thou shalt not kill."
3. The Jewish leaders found fault with Jesus because He healed a man on the Sabbath, yet they circumcised on the Sabbath.
4. John 7.28
assignment
