Envy Destroys 🤢

Wow 🙀 As I read these verses I have to ask myself how cruel can mankind be? Jesus has been snatcked up in the night. Brought to the high priest where the chief priest, the elders and the scribes were assembled, where they had a kangaroo court, then taking Jesus to Pilate where Jesus was sentenced to death. Wow! But wait, wait there’s a custom Mark 15:6 (KJV) Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. They what? Desired! Thank goodness surely their Desire will be to release Jesus for He hasn’t done anything wrong. It was out of envy He was delivered.   Mark 15:10 (KJV) For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. Looks like Jesus is about to be released. Surely the people will see through this. What is this I hear  

Mark 15:12 (KJV) And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

Mark 15:13 (KJV) And they cried out again, Crucify him. Are these people mad? What has happened? Jesus who has done nothing but good. Jesus fed the hungry, this man Jesus brought gladness to those who were sad not only that He had been the dearest friend they had ever had. The people are saying release Barabbas, a convicted hot tempered murderer. Are you serious? Well that’s what happened. Why? Because Pilate didn’t want to upset the people and envy destroys good people and in this case a  perfect person, Jesus. 

Mark 15:15 (KJV) And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. So this same problem is going on today. It's okay to do wrong as long as the people are content. That’s a bunch of baloney. It's impossible to make everyone content or happy! As Bob Jones Sr said “It is never right to do wrong in order to get a chance to do right.” Wrong is always wrong! Oh but we don’t do stuff like that any more. Really, if you think not then you are not paying attention.
