And WHY did the Pharisees want the KING dead?

Luke 16:13-15 "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

His eyes were filled with fire this day. He spoke with a measured but commanding tone that pierced the air like a gunshot.

This stinging rebuke exposed the sons of Cain for what they are. Hypocrites and covetous liars.

"And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him."

But he did not waiver. He looked right into the eyes of the spirit of Mammon and fearlessly told them exactly why they were going to HELL.

And he said unto them,

"Ye are they which JUSTIFY YOURSELVES before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God."

Always has his priorities straight. That's MY King.

Pharisees are dead. The KING lives.
