Why Did Religious Leaders Reject Jesus?
from Capital City Christian Church | Podcast · host Ben Webb, Associate Minister
I have some sympathy and compassion for the religious leaders of Jesus’ day because it’s hard to fully understand something while you’re in the moment. Why did the Jews in authority turn against Jesus? What He was doing in the moment didn’t make sense to them. It wasn’t what they expected. When you’re looking forward into the future or even in the moment, there’s a certain level of ambiguity, a lack of clarity. There can be a lack of precision when trying to make sense of things in the moment. If you can look backward, there’s clarity.
