Matthew 21:23 - 46 - Clueless Leaders
Sounds so familiar: leaders working only for themselves, feverishly trying to stay on top, saving their tails
at the expense of the body of little people who get the picture right. They are supposed to be leaders but they follow what the opinion of the people is regarding Jesus.
They are trying to catch Jesus in a “gotcha” moment, but they show what juvenile idiots they really are. They’ve spent their whole lives filling up on knowledge of laws and regulations but have not one speck of wisdom. And here the little people – the ones they think are stupid, clueless sheep – see the better picture of Jesus and recognize Him as a prophet.
They are consumed with rage that their gig is up, knocked down by the simple things. They
would rather die trying to kill Jesus than follow Him. Now who really are the clueless ones?
