Jesus and the Religious Establishment















God the Son took upon Himself the form of man and lived a life completely free of sin. Though He adorned a body of flesh, He remained God. One would think the Pharisees (religious leaders) most familiar with scripture would have humbly yielded to Christ’s authority. Yet, they repeatedly sought to trap the Lord in His words. After all, the identity of the Lord Jesus and His presence upon the earth exposed the Pharisees’ hypocrisy. This is why they desired to cast doubt upon the identity of Jesus’ Father to which Jesus replied that had they known the Father, they would have certainly known and recognized the Son also.
