Matthew 21:14–16 (ESV) — 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed
them. 15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the
wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant, 16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus
said to them, “Yes; have you never read,
“ ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing
babies
you have prepared praise’?”
NOTE: In Matthew's
account, we have long passed the stage of honest inquiry in the story. The
people see and believe, but the intelligent and elite want it stopped. They
want to suppress the thought that Jesus is the Son of David, the long-awaited
Messiah. They want to insert their own interpretation of events. They probably
considered the people unintelligent and repeating fake news. They were the
elite, it was their job to tell the people what to think and how to think. At
one time, they investigated the claims of Jesus (ultimately determining his
power came from Satan), but they have so hardened their hearts that no miracles
or signs or facts or different view of events will change their mind. They have
written the script, the meme, and they are committed to it. Today, the same
thing is happening. What is right is now wrong, and wrong is considered right.
Gender, God's creation of man in his image, male and female, is redefined from
a physical creation to an emotional feeling. Marriage, God's joining the two
unique sexes into one being has been redefined. The elite hate God or any idea
that God might exist. They are so blinded that anything that does not agree
with their definition of the world is called a lie or fake news. How blind we
are to reality. How sad the depth to which we have fallen. And somehow we think
the world is getting better …
