Daily CLC Prayer verse

“When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This really is the Prophet.” Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” So there was a division among the people over him. Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.”
‭‭John‬ ‭7:40-44‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because some said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem”.  Can both parties be right here, but still in disagreement?  Often when I’m in confusion, I don’t know all the facts and God’s purpose isn’t clear. Typically, getting facts requires growing in relationship with other people and then clarity comes. I wonder if God allowed the confusion to prompt the relationship?  Please pray that we and our friends see others as God sees them. Please pray for Wes and David’s group.
