Spot The Rebel

Matthew 26:55-56

In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, 'Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.' Then all the disciples deserted him and fled. (NIVUK)

Was Jesus a rebel? He kept the Roman law, and He never offended Father God. Yes, He was hated by the religious leaders - because they, and their followers, assumed an authority and pomposity which God had never given to them. No, Jesus had not rebelled against anybody … it was His accusers who had rebelled through their pride and hunger for power in Israel. The crowd, people who had previously welcomed Jesus' miracles and teaching, had finally been incited by the clerics to rebel against the Son of God. But rebellion was always in their nature, as it is in ours (Romans 8:7).
