He Teaches
Joh 7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
Joh 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
What I find truly fascinating here, is not that He teaches. Nor is it the fact that they questioned Him. They always did that.
But they did not question what He is teaching.
They did not question the validity. No, they questioned how He knew the Scriptures and taught them like this having never studied under them.
They know Jesus knows how to read, for He has read in the Synagogue before, this is different. Here they are asking how He understands and interprets Scripture having had no formal training.
More than anything this is a moment for pause, they did not question what He was saying, how He said it or where.
No, they questioned how He knew.
Validity for the Knowledge of Jesus and His Father, for He knows the Doctrine of God.
(A whole new meaning to Home schooled huh?)
For the Doctrine of the Father was taught (if you will allow) to Him by the Father.
Jesus is a fascinating life from beginning to end. What a study.
