3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming."
4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?"
JESUS knew what the S&P (Scribes and Pharisees) thoughts were. HE knew HE was going to "lay down" HIS life for me! In the S&P's mind it was okay to miraculously heal the sick, but it was NOT okay to perform a miracle of forgiving one's sin! They wanted a Saviour who fit THEIR mold! GOD did not figure into their plans.
Their miscalculation took a "spotless lamb" to correct. My "miscalculations" can cost too! I need to make sure I am walking DAILY after HIS will and following HIS path for me!
Even JESUS, in all of HIS majesty, followed the FATHER'S will. In Matthew 26:39 (ESV) scripture records this "And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will." GOD's plan for JESUS during the next few days was rough. I pray that I will be faithful and obedient to HIM in whatever circumstance I find myself!
