Second Sunday of Lent (2/28) ................................................
Luke 13.31-35
At that very hour some Pharisees came,
and said to him, "get away from here, for Herod wants to
kill you." And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox,
`Behold, I cast our demons and perform cures today and tomorrow,
and the third day I finish my course. Nevertheless I must go
on my way today and tomorrow and the day following; for it cannot
be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.' O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent
to you! How often would I have gathered your children together
as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!
Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not
see me until you say, `Blessed is he who comes in the name of
the Lord!'"
This is the only place in the New Testament that Jesus
seems to be on good terms with the Pharisees. One conclusion
is that not all Pharisees were corrupt in their faith and that
some were open-minded enough to hear Jesus out ... maybe even
follow him. We also get a glimpse of Jesus' compassion for Jerusalem
and his sorrow that they seemed oblivious to his message and
messiahship.
