Sunday - Luke 13:31
What a day yesterday!
I wanted to take a moment to say as much as when we read Luke we see the Pharisees as opponents of Jesus. It would be remiss if I did we as Christians need to be careful not to lump people together into one group. So let us not lump all Pharisees together, and let us not lump all Jews into the category of the Pharisees. Jesus was a Jew. Not all Pharisees harbored animosity toward Jesus.
When we read Luke 13:31 we see that some of the Pharisees had concern for Jesus’ life. They warned him that he was rubbing people the wrong way. They showed a genuine concern for Jesus safety. It seems to me that Jesus does not seem surprised by the information shared and he seems unbothered by it.
You have a chance sit with Jesus and talk with him about this information.
Do you try to convince him to listen to what he has been told?
What do you want to ask him?
How does he answer you?
What does he say when you when you share your prejudice against the Pharisees?
Questions for Reflection and Comment:
Has Jesus offended you yet?
If not, why?
