"They held counsel how to destroy him," Mark 3:6.
Why did they do this? because Jesus forgave a man. and then healed him. because Jesus fellowshiped with tax collectors and sinners. and not with the pretended righteous. because Jesus didn't have his disciples fast properly. instead, said it was time to celebrate. because Jesus did what was not lawful on the Sabbath. and said he was Lord of the Sabbath. because he healed on the Sabbath. and implied it was lawful to save a life against their Sabbath law. Because Jesus, to them, was a despicable godless low life. Jesus: paying the price for our redemption.
We meet with a brother or sister today chagrined at the way we dishonored him. And, belatedly, we give heartfelt thanks to him for putting up with us for life.
