Confusion in the Capital - John 7

After Jesus' popularity tanked in John 6, His brothers offered what sounds like logical public relations advice: "Stop hiding and just prove yourself to the world!" But Jesus did not come to receive worldly acclaim. So instead He secretly arrived in a bustling Jerusalem for the Feast of Booths, where an atmosphere of fear and anticipation filled the air: who is Jesus? will He come? what will happen if He does? Jesus patiently waited - then in a dramatic and well-timed moment he openly and boldly declared Himself the fountain of living water, the Messiah!
