THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 56: Warning to the Religious Leaders |
|
|
Jesus confronted the religious leadership about John
the Baptist and they feigned ignorance and refused to incriminate
themselves. The God-man proceeded to talk about a man’s two sons and
castigated the Jewish leadership by stating that prostitutes and tax
collectors would enter heaven before them. Then Jesus spoke about a
rich businessman who contracted a management team to oversee the
operation of his vineyard and how they eventually murdered his son.
Finally, the God-man described the role of a cornerstone and how He
had been rejected. The Jewish leadership perceived that the Son of
God was speaking about them and hated Him for it. They desperately
wanted to kill the Messiah, but feared the reaction of the common
people, who took the God-man for a prophet. The religious leadership
had been weighed and found wanting and it was their false
righteousness that condemned them. |
