To Discredit the Savior
By Michael Houke
Jesus was doing incredible miracles for all to observe, therefore His serventhood was undeniable. This created a huge problem for the scribes. They had to discredited these miracles and acknowledge them at the same time. So, they declared that Jesus was possessed by Beelzebul, and that he cast out demons by the ruler of demons.
This was slander and the scribes knew it but it was they could come up with on such short notice in their desperation to discredited Jesus. They actually thought they had knocked out two stones with one punch and at the same time implying that Jesus was in a league with Satan himself. Nice try but no cigar.
You see, Jesus knew what the scribes were thinking and takes the initiative and addresses the scribes in parables. Jesus said to them, “how can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand” Jesus’ logic was beyond debate, the Scribes claims were ridiculous. Then Jesus turned to them and added “and if Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast out demons?” The scribes were once again defeated if not soundly crushed by the Messiah.
Jesus always knew what the scribes and Pharisees were thinking and he was always one step ahead of them and completely victorious over them in every encounter He had with them. What is so ironic about this is that for some time these religious leaders were plotting and planning to kill Jesus, It never occurred to them that the very man they were plotting to kill raised people from the dead. If Jesus had the power to raise people from the grave, just how did they plan to stop Him from raising Himself from the grave? Fools never learn. Crucifixions and 2,000 pound stones are no match for the Savior!
