Bible Question: Who were Jesus' main opponents during His public ministry time? Why did they oppose Him, and how? |
Bible Answer: For the most part, Jesus' most frequent enemies were those trying to trip Him up and say something in opposition to the OT. Most of the time, this was the Scribes and Pharisees. If you'll punch in these words into your Search Engine, you'll see many such examples. The biggest reason for their opposition was the fact that Jesus taught publically against their Traditions, especially when they went against God's Word or the Law of Moses. Examples: Blowing a trumpet to announce their prayers, Corban and buying plots of land so they could walk from one possession to another on the Sabbath. They taught these Traditions to the lower class of people but didn't abide by them. Jesus could see into their hearts and knew their secrets and intents which was to hold power over their people and had no intention of obeying God or extending His Love to the Gentiles in spite of the OT hinting of such things. Is 60:1 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. 3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. Instead of being God's people to the Gentiles, the Jews hated them, treating them like and even calling them "dogs." Go with God in all things, Bill |
