Dangerous prejudices
They began to plot discussing how to destroy him. (Mark 3, 6)
Jesus went into a synagogue, and there was a man there who had a withered hand. And they were watching him to see if he would cure him on the sabbath day, hoping for something to use against him. He said to the man with the withered hand, ‘Stand up out in the middle!’ Then he said to them, ‘Is it against the law on the sabbath day to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to kill?’ But they said nothing. Then, grieved to find them so obstinate, he looked angrily round at them, and said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ He stretched it out and his hand was better. The Pharisees went out and at once began to plot with the Herodians against him, discussing how to destroy him. (Mark 3, 1-6)
The more Jesus’ divinity becomes evident in His earthly life, the more the prejudices against Him become dangerous. Those who do not want to accept the Truth, that Jesus is the only Savior of the World, react with plots to kill the Son of God. Are you ready to follow Jesus on any path He decides to put you on or do you look the other way even when a small sacrifice is asked of you?
