Not everyone remained happy to be with Jesus. He displayed an uncanny gift for cutting to the heart of those he spent time with.
Some responded with openness and repentance - drawn by the grace and forgiveness offered them. In this way, Jesus offered a deeper and more complete peace than ever known before.
Others found Jesus all too confronting. They arced up against his penetrating words and insight. They found him unsettling and disturbing. So much so, they did not want to simply shush him. They wanted to silence him... completely... forever!
But we all know, you can’t keep truth buried... And you can’t keep a good man down!
