If you hope to gain an understanding of Jesus Christ and the purpose of
the Savior's life, death, and resurrection, it will be necessary to approach the
Lord in a spirit of humility. You know, an attitude that is opposite of how many
religious leaders in Christ's day approached the Messiah. Their hearts were full
of pride, and they often tried to prod the Lord into saying something
erroneous.
But no matter how hard they pressed, those religious leaders always came
out on the short end of the stick. They never succeeded in getting the Lord to
contradict Scripture. In fact, Jesus responded to their insincere comments and
questions with far more wisdom than they were capable of grasping due to their
dark hearts and evil intentions. And so those religious "big wigs" were
typically left with their mouths hanging open as they stood there
dumbfounded.
