Jesus vs the religious leaders
John 7:
- The Pharisees ask the officers if they have not been misled, adding that not one of the rulers or of the Pharisees has put faith in him!
- Always the same mafia like everywhere!
- Typically human!
- We are the ones who know better!
- But Jesus tells them they don’t know anything!
- And they add that the crowd do not know the law and are accursed people!
- Nicodemus tells them they can’t judge a man without hearing from him and learning what he is doing!
- Sometimes you get people who are a bit more intelligent!
- But they don’t care!
- They answer by saying no prophet is to be raised up out of Galilee!
- Religious leaders use intimidation to force people: if Pharisees don’t put faith in Jesus, it is because it is against their own interests and power but they know who he is!
- They think that normal people who are not like them are ignorant and accursed people, so they are conceited!
- They are supposed to be the teachers so if the people they are supposed to teach don’t know the Law, it means they are teachers who are good to nothing!
- Nicodemus went to see Jesus at night that’s why he speaks that way in favor of Jesus!
- They don’t know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, what a shame, they don’t even check the facts, they are not serious but ridiculous!
- Think: Jesus is an incredible teacher and everybody speaks about him!
- It goes everywhere!
- Far better than modern media!
- And religious leaders don’t hear about it!
- Who is going to believe that?
- Well, today everybody believes everything and nothing!
- But worse: everybody speaks about his miracles and what miracles!
- Of course, it spreads faster and faster!
- That’s why they want to kill him!
- Wake up! We are not speaking about today where everybody is in front of his tv!
- At Jesus’ time, everybody was speaking with everybody!
- When someone speaks about something, all at once, it spreads everywhere in an instant as individuals tell the story to individuals!
- Today people stay in front of their tv!
- Modern people can’t even imagine!
- Don’t dream: the modern world, it is not today’s world!
- Can they still imagine anything?
- It is so hard for them to open a book!
