THREATENED PHARISEES
1. They escalate things. They made Jesus' miracle-working a matter for the Sanhedrin.
2. They exaggerate things. They suggested everyone would believe in Jesus and therefore, as a result of that belief, Rome would destroy their nation and their temple.
3. They eliminate things. They had no problem quickly adopting the idea of murdering Jesus.
Note: America is guilty of implementing the same three tactics against Christ and His Church. Escalation: the Sanhedrin today is the Supreme Court. Exaggeration: Christians are portrayed as dangerous extremists or deluded simpletons. Elimination: The goal of humanism is to eliminate mention and influence of Jesus in public discourse. Those who violate this will be persecuted.
