Matthew 12:14………..Working
12:14 But the Pharisees went out (Instead of giving thanks and rejoicing they were blinded by their prejudices.) and plotted (Conspired, schemed. Along with the Herodians-Mark 3:6 See website) how they might kill Jesus. (Having been publicly humiliated and embarrassed by Jesus they wanted Him dead.)
Extended Sermon Notes
“Even today, those who fear their power and authority is being threatened will to everything to stop it. Those who want to hang onto their own rule and ways will do everything to get rid of Jesus, rather than admit they may be flawed.” ⇒ Rather than acknowledging and submitting to Christ as Lord, many will argue “I just don’t see enough evidence.” “I’ve study and study the bible and I just don’t believe Jesus is the Christ.” When in truth their real reason for rejecting Christ is not a lack of evidence, but their refusal to relinquish sovereign control over their lives to God. Most want to be in charge and run things their way and that makes Christ really unappealing to a lot of people. Because it means their going to have change some things in their lives.There’s going to be some transformation in their lives that’s not going to be fun, popular, or comfortable.
