John 10:19

John 10:19, says, There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. We read once again of a division amongst the Jews over the teachings of Jesus.  God's people should have no trouble understanding what He says, but often do.  Verse twenty adds, And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?  Again, many of the Jews, God's chosen people, accused Jesus of having a devil or being mad.  We might expect this reaction from the world, but certainly not of God's chosen people.  God's people today, the church, should never argue over the nature of God.  Verse twenty-one continues, Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?  Others of the Jews once again pointed out that these were not the words of one with a devil, and that a devil could not open the eyes of a blind man.  Both Jesus' words and actions spoke of Who He was, but many simply refused to see.  The same is true today.  God's words and actions through the Holy Spirit speak to the truth of Christ as the Messiah, the Savior of mankind   Verse twenty-two concludes, And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.   This all happened in Jerusalem at the Feast of Dedication when it was winter.
