I'm Taylor.

And I'm Tyler.

This is Scripture Central's Come Follow Me Insights. This week, John 7 through 10.

So let's jump in in our first episode with chapters 7 and 8, and then we'll do chapters

9 and 10 for the second episode this week. Amazing stories to cover in John's Gospel.

In chapter 7 verse 1, it says, after these things, Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not

walk in Jewry

because the Jews sought to kill him. The implication is he's not walking openly down in Judea,

down in Jerusalem. Now, the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. Feast of Tabernacles happens

in the fall, sometime late September, early

October, depending on the lunar calendar of a given year. And so this situates us, orientes us,

so that we can kind of see the rest of John's Gospel. We're about six months away, give or take from the feast

of Passover where Jesus is going to be crucified. So he's got about six months left in his,

in his life, in his ministry. So in the context, this is the Feast of Tavernacles, and this is to remind the people,

their forefathers have been saved by God from Egyptian bondage and were brought out in the

wilderness, and there they lived in these temporary booths.

And that is where they encountered God, was out in the wilderness.

So we see themes here of God finding his people or bringing them into the

wilderness to save them. So think about this context as we read this next chapter.
