We know in our own lives that trying to be too smart can lead to our demise and it does for the scribes in today’s Gospel. But what is most important then is that this incident becomes an opportunity for Jesus to take the scribes right out other comfort zone and into a place where Jesus can explain just how different life with him is. A life lived close to Jesus takes us to a place where we don’t control its process or its outcomes. That’s what being in God’s hands means. And it’s not something to be afraid of because God is taking us through it and he only wants us to prosper.
