  Short reflection on Today's Gospel: (John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30)

No one can be unresponsive with Jesus for long. What he said and did - his signs and wonders, he did in the name of Holy God. Jesus not only asserted to be the Messiah, God’s Anointed One. He claimed to be in a exceptional relationship with God and to know him as no one else did. The religious authorities did all they could to put a stop to Jesus because they could not believe his declare and the demands he made. We cannot be indifferent to the claims which Jesus makes on us.
