Week 9: Friday What's In The Safe

“When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they

perceived that he was speaking about them. And although they were

seeking to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to

be a prophet” (Matthew 21:45-46 ESV).

Even though they were seeing Him directly—knowledgeable of His

miracles, aware of His fulfillment of prophecy, aware that He is speaking

directly to them—they just can’t let go of their comfort zones, perceived

status, and selfish ambitions.
