Many who have set out to stop the effect of Jesus Words on someones life, have returned swept off their feet simply because they stopped for a moment to hear what He was actually saying. Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one [ventured and] laid hands on Him. Meanwhile the attendants (guards) had gone back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, Why have you not brought Him here with you? The attendants replied, Never has a man talked as this Man talks! [No mere man has ever spoken as He speaks!] The Pharisees said to them, Are you also deluded {and} led astray? [Are you also swept off your feet?] (John 7:44-47 Amp). Why assume that these people who seem to have been swept off their feet by Jesus are just stupid? Have you ever considered that perhaps it has nothing to do with their intelligence level, but has only to do with the Words of the One they stopped for a moment to listen to? Dont judge Jesus by religious people. Jesus is not a religionist, Hes a lover. Most everything recorded in scripture, that Jesus said & did, flew right in the face of religion. It was the religious world that instigated His crucifixion. I dare you to prove me wrong. Study the person & character of Jesus in the Book of John, from your heart, & see if He does not sweep you off your feet. You are not really judging the effected people; you are judging the ability of The One (Jesus, The Son of God) Who actually does have the power to transform lives.
