'But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King?' John 19:1
Do you remember the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey? The Bible says a huge crowd poured out from all the nooks and crannies of the city of Jerusalem to welcome Jesus with a loud shout of 'Hosanna'! Surprisingly, five days after His arrival in Jerusalem; The same crowd in Jerusalem that shouted 'Hosanna soon turned against Him and shouted crucify Him. What a crowd of double-speaks!
But isn't that what people are doing all over the world today? For instance, when a new president of a nation comes to power, many people will shout his/her praise to the highest heavens. Surprisingly, before the end of his/her first term, the same people that showered praises turn around to call for impeachment!
The object lesson from today's text is, never be fooled or deceived by what people are saying today because human beings are the most unreliable creatures on earth.
The heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jer 17:9).
Yes, love all people with the love of Christ but refuse to fall prey into the hands of your acquaintances. Make no one your source or supplier, that's where problems normally start. The moment you make human beings your source or god, God will leave you to yourself.
Mathew 10:17 reminds us to beware of men...It is better to go solo than follow the company of sycophants and men pleasers. People who love commendation and applause are often the first victim of mischief makers and character assassins. If God is with you, don't bother who is against you and if God is present in your show, it doesn't matter who is absent. Shalom! See you at the top
