John 7:27
King James Version

“Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.”
οὗτος
This, this one, this person. This is My Son whom I love. With Him I am well pleased. The words spoken over Jesus are spoken over you through your union with Him.
πόθεν
from where

πόθεν
From where, from what source. Póthen. Jesus used this word to expose what could not be answered: where does authority come from, where does the wind go. The origin of a thing reveals its nature. Trace everything back to its source.

Χριστός
Christ

Χριστός
The one set apart and equipped for a specific task. Oil was poured on kings, priests and prophets in the Old Testament — the anointing meant: this one is chosen, this one is sent. Jesus stands up in Nazareth and reads Isaiah — and then says: this is Me. I am the one sent.

no one

οὐδείς
No one, nothing, none. No one can snatch them out of My hand. The security of the believer rests not in their grip but in His. And His grip never fails.

γινώσκω
To know, to understand, to perceive. Ginosko. This is eternal life that they may know You. The deepest knowing is relational not informational. God wants to be known.
