"Go Away"

“Go Away!”

Blessings Folk!

Today’s reading:

Luke 13:31-33

So, now the religious rulers tried another tactic.

They tried to instill fear in Jesus.
Religionists do the same today to us.

They came to Jesus saying “Go away, leave her, for Herod wants to kill You.”

LOL

The PHARISEES wanted to kill Jesus.

I have no doubt that Herod was becoming worried about Jesus.
Perhaps he did want to kill Him after his curiosity in Him was satisfied.

The same occurs today.
The religionists seek to create fear.
The religionists seek to kill.

“Herod” also seeks to kill.

We should respond as Jesus did.

Jesus told the Pharisees to tell that fox (Herod) that He was continuing on in the mission.

Demons were being cast out.
The sick were healed.
Jesus would reach His goal shortly...on the third day...an actual reference to the timing of the moment as well as to His impending death and resurrection.

Jesus pressed on.
So should we.
