Much Murmuring Among the People

Divided Crowd is an Uncommon Event from the Gospel Age, costing 5 faith. It delivers a powerful combo of dealing 2 damage to all enemy beings while simultaneously restoring +3 hope to all friendly beings, making it a compelling board catalyst for decks seeking control and recovery.

The Dividing Line

Crowds pressed in from every side. Some whispered with wonder, "He is a good man." Others sneered, their hearts hardened, calling Him a deceiver. The very presence of Jesus became the dividing line between light and darkness, truth and lies, life and death. His words cut through every falsehood, exposing the hidden thoughts of the heart. The prophets foretold Him, the Scriptures declared Him, and the Father confirmed Him with power. Yet even as the blind saw and the lame walked, the hearts of many remained split.

From the beginning, the Son of God brought division, not of chaos, but of clarity. The Word made flesh does not blend into the background of human opinion; He stands as the unshakable cornerstone, the one whom men either receive or reject. The same voice that calmed the storm also spoke words that shattered pride. The same hands that healed the sick also overturned the tables of corruption. His life was a living testimony, a perfect mirror in which every person saw themselves for who they truly were.

This card's verse is John 7:12:

"And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people."

The debate in the streets of Jerusalem was no accident, it was prophecy unfolding. Isaiah spoke of the stone the builders would reject, a stone that would become the head stone of the corner. David sang of the King who would rule the nations with righteousness. And here He stood in their midst, speaking the words of eternal life. Those who had ears to hear were drawn like rivers to the sea. Those who loved their darkness shrank away from His light.

The Gathering of the Faithful

The division that marked His earthly ministry continues even now. The Gospel is a double-edged sword, bringing peace to those who believe, and conviction to those who resist. Yet in every generation, the Spirit gathers His people. The crowd is no longer bound to Jerusalem’s streets; it fills the whole earth. Nations are hearing the Name above every name. Kingdoms rise and fall, but the truth of Jesus endures. He is still the subject of every real conversation, still the turning point of every life.

Every heart that bows to Him becomes part of a greater multitude, a holy nation, a people set apart. The whispers of faith have grown into a chorus of praise. The same Spirit who revealed Him to fishermen and tax collectors now reveals Him to kings and servants, to the broken and the whole. The crowd is still divided, but His sheep know His voice.

Believer, you are among the gathered, the chosen, the called-out ones. You have heard the Shepherd’s voice, and it has pulled you from the noise of the crowd into the clarity of grace. You are sealed in His truth, rooted in His love, filled with His Spirit. The debates of men will pass, but your hope is eternal. The King who once walked in the streets now reigns from heaven, and you will reign with Him. Your place is secure. Your future is bright. Your Savior is victorious.
