Luke 19-21

How often am I like the Jewish leaders in Luke 20?  They heard Jesus speak in the temple and the claims he was making they judged to be inconceivable coming from this un-school rabbi. The leaders heard his teaching but because they saw no basis for his statements they rejected them without consideration. His words didn't fit their theology. I know that I've been there before. I read a passage of scripture and a truth jumps out that I have never grasped before. But it doesn't fit my theology. I find that the longer I meditate of the scripture the weaker the foundation of my belief becomes.  As I open up to the Spirit's leading the scriptural truth eventually out weighs that which I had claimed to be true. The older I grow in my faith the more ready I am to admit my misunderstanding of scriptural truths in favor of Jesus' words expressed from the text.  
It took me about 17 minutes to read this passage.
