Whole sections of the New Testament are dedicated to Jesus chastising the Pharisees.
Who were the Pharisees though, and how does any of this relate to us today? 🙋♂️
The Pharisees were threatened by Jesus. They were the highest authority amongst Judeans during this period, and were held in high social esteem.
Jesus threatened their power and social status.
Rather than acknowledging the miracles they witnessed Jesus perform, and the fact that he was the perfect fulfilment of the prophecies in their own holy books, instead they chose to plot on how kill him.
