They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him.      Mark 11.27

After a miraculous operation, we may be questioned by those who consider themselves as servants of God but are not. This happened with the Master after He cursed the fig tree and it withered. We must be prepared, because based on the examples of bible, many people who become aware of a certain work that the Almighty did through us will seek us to make enquiries about the event. With wisdom, we shall not go beyond His will nor shall we disappoint Him.

Jesus had done something that not only impressed His disciples, but also the leaders of Judaism. Never had a man used the divine power to give a lesson to a tree because it did not recognize the Creator and, thus, denied Him its fruit. Be careful not to disappoint the Master, for, when granting you with a mission, He gives you the virtue to do fulfill it. That tree was well aware of who He was.

Jewish authorities didn’t know what else to say or do. It was obvious that something supernatural was taking place. The Lord, besides healing the sick and casting out demons, had taken the life of a plant that gave Him no fruit. Thus, the religious feared Christ would use such power to kill them. They ignored that the Son of the Man came to give us life.

When returning to Jerusalem, the Master walked around the temple and observed everything while making Himself available to those in suffering and those in doubt about His mission or the divine will. We shall represent the Lord just this way: as problem solvers, instead of someone that preaches religious precepts, but does not act. This ministry shall take millions of people to the Lord’s feet.

Upon learning that He walked around the temple, the chief priests, scribes and elders went up to Him. And, as they could not deny His extraordinary feats, decided to ask who received authority to do that. They could have taken advantage of to do what God told them and then, in time, learn more. Likewise, there are those who are losing a lot today.

When they learned He walked around the temple, the main priests, scribes and elders came to Him. And, since they could not deny His extraordinary accomplishments, they decided to ask Him who had given Him the authority to do such things. They could have taken advantage to do what God told them, and then, at the right time, they would learn more. Likewise, there are many who are losing a lot today.

The religious people of that time should have been humble and recognized that it had come from the Father, but instead, they decided to ask Him to say the obvious. Now, Jesus knew what was going on inside their souls. Indeed, these people knew that God worked through Him. However, with their questioning, they just wanted to suffocate the divine voice speaking to their hearts. Surrender to God, who has already spoken to you through His Word. 

Over the centuries, many brothers have been persecuted, abused and killed for letting the Omnipotent use them. Those who want to live piously – respecting the authority of the Most High – shall suffer persecution. Paul taught us that. So, surrender yourself to the Almighty and do as He commands you. Thus, you will walk in righteousness.

With love, in Christ,

God of Truth! The Works of Jesus convinced people that You acted through His hands. Since those men had a heart of stone and while they noticed they did not do anything similar, they asked Christ who had given Him such an authority.

They were concerned with Your operations. We must be used by You likewise, so that people may understand that You are among us doing the same Works carried out through the Savior.

You are terrific and the only one able to operate wonders and convince the lost to go to Your Son to receive a new life. May we be useful in Your work and set a good example for our generation. Amen!
