When Jesus confronts the Jewish leaders with the truth of who He is, they naturally respond by wanting to silence His voice, to take Him captive (John 7:32), to destroy Him or, literally, to kill Him (John 7:19). And, unlike many of us today in the church, Jesus did not retreat but boldly stood and declared to them the gospel once again. Consider the following:

Jesus preaches to them the gospel in just three words: thirst, come and drink.
