What do religious people make of Jesus? And in a more specific way, what do the Christian religious people make of Jesus? After all, the Jews were God's people. And it was the Chief Priest and Scribes and elders that had him arrested and are now putting him on trial. What do they make of him? And what do religious people today make of him? The truth is, that Jesus is first put on trial by his own people, and most specifically he is put on trial by the religious leaders who should have known better. And what does that say to us today? Well, it says an awful lot. It says a lot abotu fake religiosity and the grabbing for power. It warns us against complacency and the very real possibility that our theology and our positions can get in the way of a real relationship and a true worship of the true God. There is a lot of danger in being religious and in being powerful.
