A very interesting and thought-provoking article, thank you David. And yes, I had wondered why the response to Jesus in Jerusalem changed so dramatically in such a short space of time.
"The scribes and Pharisees sought to entrap Jesus. They were not operating in good faith, yet they called him “Master”. They were employing deception, concealment, and flattery." This is a common tactic used by those who beguile and ensnare people, often covertly, into submission and subservience. Two thousand years later, such characters still operate in the same insincere and insidious ways.....seeking self-elevation, power and control via deceitful and deceptive means.
"For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people." - Romans 16:18
"Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked." - Psalms 43:1
Thanks David. I am by no means a scholar but have been wondering about the three days and three nights ….thanks for clarifying.
Thanks for this David. The simplicity is refreshing.
Thanks, that is exactly what I was aiming for.
