Know God
John 7:25-
The Feast of Tabernacles was a celebration of remembering God’s faithfulness to the Israelites as they wandered in the wilderness.
The feast centered around the recognition of God’s provision during this time.
Through the celebration, God’s provision of water and manna was highlighted as well as the provision of a prophet to lead them.
How fitting is it that the Feast of Tabernacles is celebrated in the chapter after Jesus feeds the five thousand, reminiscent of manna from heaven.
God had made a promise to Abraham that He would make from His descendents a great nation.
These were the same people who had been in Egypt during the time of famine and had been enslaved during their time there.
It was these people that God would draw out a reveal himself intimately to.
The people of Israel had been set apart as the ones who would know God.
This had always been the claim that Israel held the greatest pride in, they knew God.
As Jesus speaks to the crowd, He challenges how well they knew God.
If they really knew God as they had claimed, then they would know Jesus for He is from God and is God.
Jesus knew God, they did not.
To obtain knowledge about someone and to know intimately someone
How Do I Respond
John
Here, the crowd stood perplexed because their knowledge about the Messiah and their knowledge about Jesus did not fit together.
How do we respond when it appears as if Jesus does not fit with our culture, our traditions or our promises?
God has invited us into an intimate relationship with Him, but our time to answer that response is not indefinite.
What Is My Response?
The water ceremony at the feast of Tabernacle commemorated the Lord bringing forth water from the rock.
God had provided the people of Israel life from that water.
In the same way, Jesus has come to give us life from the Spirit.
The level to which we experience this life is fully dependent upon the faith that we place in Jesus and the depth of intimacy that we share with Him.
It is not enough to just drink the water, we must commune with the One who has given the water.
