What say you?

So what say you? John ch7 is thick with discussion of who Jesus is. Is he the Messiah? Many cannot seem to agree that he could be since they think he is from Galilee. Others want to believe, but the Jewish leaders argue it down. This scene might have occurred 2,000 years ago, but the question still lingers today. Who is Jesus to you? If you say Lord, do you actions point that way? If not Lord,, then where lies your hope? What do we look for in our Lord? Someone to take away all fears, troubles, etc? The first century Jews did. But Jesus' message notes much pain and trouble. He even promises hardship. He is preparing us for eternity with God. Even the guards in v46 note "we have never heard anyone speak like this". Perhaps we need listen also.
