The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; Luke 24:20
His own people killed him. They could not see what Jesus was offering them. It is easy for us to kill off the hope that we can have in Christ when we seek the world for fulfilment and the answer to all our questions. The scriptures will challenge us especially when we go in our own direction or interpret things the way we want them to read. Let us pray that we would not be blinded by our own ideas but rather look to God.
For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation.
