jealousy doesn’t get us anywhere.
Jealousy by the religious leaders and people
was the outcome of Jesus Christ being hung
on a cross and dying. The purpose of Christ
dying was to forgive us all for our sins and
a way to heaven.
The religious leaders didn't like the way Jesus
Christ acted especially calling himself God.
They didn't like he was spending time with
" sinners." Jesus would heal people on the
Sabbath. They felt doing anything on the Sabbath
even good was wrong. He didn't fill the model
of being the Messiah at all.
We can go back to reading other stories in the
Old Testament where lives were ruined by
jealously. In the New Testament Jesus had a
parable about the prodigal son. The older
brother was upset because the younger brother
came home after squandering his inheritance
and the father celebrated the younger brother's
return. The father's response was why are you
upset because this all belongs to you, however,
your brother has returned. We can see the older
brother in the religious leaders and people.
Amen! ❤❤❤
