The Majority often gets it wrong
Dear Saint,
If you feel you're standing alone against tsunami of attacks and false teachers and fake Christians following their own path or false teacher who has thousands of YouTube subscribers remember that STRAIGHT IS THE GATE & NARROW IS THE WAY...
Matthew 7:13-14King James Version
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Another vivid example:
Justin Johnson at GRACE AMBASSADORS nails it here:
The majority often gets it wrong.
Remember when Jesus asked Peter, “who do they say I am?” (Matt 16:13) The “they” were the same people crying “Hosanna” in Matthew 21. Peter’s answer was that they believe him to be “one of the prophets” (Matt 16:14). They were wrong. Peter knew better. Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matt 16:15). The multitudes in Jerusalem when asked the crucial question of Jesus ministry, responded in error:
“Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.” – Matthew 21:10-11
He was more than a prophet; He was the Christ.
Yes, and I would even say that the majority (in a given society) usually get it wrong. This is to be expected because of these two verses.
ReplyDeleteI would add that many of the same people who were shouting "Hosanna" in Matthew 21 were also, in some of the most chilling verses in Scripture (Matthew 27:21-25) asking for Barabbas to be released; shouting "Crucify Him!"; and then "Let His blood be on us and on our children!"
Amen Brother
