when i used to read about the pharisees and their doubts that Xp was the Son of God it used to blow my mind. how in the world could they see all these things and say those things are not of God? but as i get older and deeper into ministry it makes alot more sense. i realize that people who haven't been broken, who still cling to the hope that their sinful life is enough, i realize that it's not easy to believe in Xp. i'm no different. i know plenty about Xp and what He said and did. i also know that He calls me to a life that is filled with sacrifice and being uncomfortable. and so i understand where the pharisees are coming from. they don't want to give up their power, their time in the spot light. they know Xp is going to put a damper on that, so they resist and push back against Him. we all do it, i think it's human nature...though that doesn't make it ok. at some point we just have to realize that following Xp is not easy and it's not about serving ourselves. it's about serving a loving Savior who calls us to a higher standard than that of the world. i pray that we all can find that spot in our lives.
