Jealousy is a powerful emotion. When you fear that what you have will be taken away, you jealously guard what belongs to you. It is right to be jealous for what rightly belongs to you – as God is jealous over His people, and He will not tolerate their worship of false gods (Exodus 34:14). But it is wrong to jealously guard what does not rightly belong to you. The religious leaders of Israel were only trustees of God's people, but they thought they owned them (Luke 20:9-19). They should have been leading people to Jesus; instead they wanted His power and glory.
