2020 Chinese Gospel Song | "The Root of the Pharisees' Resistance to Jesus"
Do you wish to know the root of why the Pharisees opposed Jesus?
Do you wish to know the substance of the Pharisees?
They were full of fantasies about the Messiah.
What is more, they believed only that the Messiah would come,
yet did not seek the truth of life.
And so, even today they still await the Messiah,
for they have no knowledge of the way of life,
and do not know what the way of truth is,
and do not know what the way of truth is.
How, say you, could such foolish, stubborn and ignorant people
gain God’s blessing?
How could they behold the Messiah?
They opposed Jesus because
they did not know the direction of the Holy Spirit’s work,
because they did not know the way of truth spoken by Jesus,
and, furthermore, because they did not understand the Messiah.
And since they had never seen the Messiah
and had never been in the company of the Messiah,
they made the mistake of
clinging in vain to the name of the Messiah
while opposing the substance of the Messiah by any means possible.
These Pharisees in substance were
stubborn, arrogant, and did not obey the truth.
The principle of their belief in God was:
No matter how profound Your preaching,
no matter how high Your authority,
You are not Christ unless You are called the Messiah.
Are these views not preposterous?
Are these views not preposterous and ridiculous?
Given that you have not the slightest understanding of Jesus,
is it not extremely easy for you
to commit the mistakes of the earliest Pharisees?
Are you able to discern the way of truth?
Can you truly guarantee that you will not oppose Christ?
Can you truly guarantee that you will not oppose Christ?
Are you able to follow the work of the Holy Spirit?
If you do not know whether you will oppose Christ,
then God says that you are already living on the brink of death.
