- The yardstick Jesus gave everyone to understand the source and power of every action
-
- Is to look at the results of these actions and power
- Here was Jesus’ Ministry bearing much and abundant fruit.
-
- Many were turning their hearts to God
- Like the Tax Collectors Matthew and Zacchaeus.
- Yet those in power were jealous
-
- They could not bring themselves about to accept Jesus’ Goodness
- There were many words of Jesus which indicted them.
- Here was a opportunity to get back.
- They labelled the work of God in and through Jesus
-
- as coming from the Devil.
- And we can see the naivety of the accusation
- Because these accusers had not given any thought to their words
- Jesus pokes holes in their accusation
-
- And in a way confirms that he truly comes from God
- And his works are from God.
- Let us not sit on the fence like the Pharisees and take no side
-
- When we see the work of God
- And understand his actions
- May we proclaim this truth.
