[From Tehachapi, California]
Opposition against Jesus intensifies. Four times in today’s passage He is criticized. Two times for doing what the critics think He should not do, and two times for not doing what they think He should do!
Haters will be haters.
Four criticisms:
- Healing the paralyzed man.
- The conversion of Levi and the subsequent celebration.
- Not observing fasting.
- Not observing the Sabbath.
Legalism kills the spirit.
