In this final installment on the ugliness of sin, we wrap up our study of the gross negligence of the religious leaders and their anger against the Lord, for which they had no right. Lastly, we look at the Lord’s call for change as His call for repentance in their specific area of lawlessness. May the Lord guard us from the hardness of heart and the ignorance that marks those who are far from Him.
John 7:19-24
“Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?” The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?” Jesus answered them, “I did one deed, and you all marvel. For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath? Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
