Our paragraph topic is: (Their persecution of religion) Part 7.
The words of the Son of Man came down upon the Scribes and the Pharisees. He described them as they are. He tells them to their face how he sees them and he spares no words. The people do not see as Christ sees. He offered opportunity to the Scribes and the Pharisees. He offered an open door. He gave a chance to change but that was not forthcoming.
They were so entrenched in their way that nothing could save them. Nothing could change their minds about who they were or how they thought about their religion. They were persecutors. They were destroyers. They were recruiting newcomers to hell and that was not the religion of God. Christ called them: "Serpents, brood of vipers."
Slithering, sliding, hissing, these were the Scribes and the Pharisees. They would just as soon be your friend then turn to bites you in the back when the opportunity presented itself. They were opportunist, using their position as religious leaders to dupe the people any way they could. When they saw the chance to take advantage they did. When they saw the opportunity to steal they did. When they saw the opportunity to be who they were then their true nature, serpent, came forth. The evil within them had completely taken over.
Judge for yourself, but judge carefully. Seek the wisdom of your spirit within that you may know who is friend and who is foe. Many will come in sheep's clothing but may turn out to be wolves. We are given a spirit of peace within. Let no one take that from you.
Seek always to build upon your peace. Find ways to strengthen it daily, weekly that you may not be taken advantage of at the wrong time. Always know that Christ has promised that he will send the Advocate to be with us, to guide us along the way. We all seek companionship, friendship, family, love, community, membership with others. This is our heritage. But seek the membership of those who love, those of the fellowship of Christ. He is our beginning and our end and our God is our all.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage nd then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ . The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
