Luke 7:34

The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

 

Bible Reading for a Year: Proverbs 11; John 21; Song of Solomon 4-6

Many people think that Lord Jesus is the man who defenseless and ‘taciturn’ because most of them just saw Jesus when He was arrested, was bullied and was persecuted by Roman soldiers until He dead silly because He didn’t give any resistance. Jesus as if accepted what the Jew’s priests condemned to Him.

Furthermore, if we read the whole story of Jesus in the Bible, we will find that the complete of Jesus’s character that could argue and even got angry to the Pharisees and the scribes, even to those people who close near to Him if they interpret His words and His acts wrongly. Lord Jesus had always faced them and had argued their statement. The worst, He had really ever gotten angry when He was said to cast out the devil with Beelzebul’s power.

The same thing had ever done to Job, when his friends were eager to condemn him for his sins to God as the cause of accident that he got. Job never accepted the label or the predicate that would be given by his friends. Otherwise, he declared that he was innocent.

Luke 7:33-35 is a proof that Lord Jesus is not a defenseless and taciturn man when the society, friends or leaders tried to destructive His image as God’s son. However, that verse has become a proof that Lord Jesus didn’t live under the power of law/custom and he could accept freely and made a relation with everyone what ever their sins. And the adorable thing is Jesus had succeeded to make many sinners changed.

It’s hard to do what Jesus did indeed if the fact is we still live according to what people say about us, in fear, disappointed and hatred. Anyway, it doesn’t mean that those things can not be passed and changed, because we are new man, we are God’s son, and we must change and bring the changes to our surrounding! Because we have a great potentials in our new man, a potential to be God’s son!

 

Everything that born by God will live by faith and the faith can defeat the world, so please submit to what God says not to what the world says!
