Repent and believe: putting fruit in the bowl - Dr Hugh Kemp

In Jesus's first two days in Jerusalem at the festival of Passover, the opposition from the Jewish leaders is immediate and strong. Jesus calls them out on their two-facedness though and puts up the eager following of the prostitutes and tax collectors as exemplars who have repented and believed and now follow in the "way of righteousness". The big question is "where is the image of God" amongst his people? It is in those who are open to the Spirit and who receive the fruit of the spirit.
