Quan alguns dels fariseus van sentir les paraules de Jesús, Com havia arribat a judici al món, que els que no veuen no podrien veure i que els que es veuen es podrien fer cecs, Li van preguntar a Jesús si també eren cecs. Jesús els va respondre, Si estiguessis cec, No hauríeu de tenir cap pecat: Però ara dius, veiem; Per tant, el vostre pecat queda. Què va significar Jesús per això? Què signifiquen aquestes paraules de Jesús per a l'Església? L’església està veient o cega?
Jesús va fer els cecs per veure, Però el veient cec
El cec va rebre la seva vista, Perquè va sentir i va creure les paraules de Jesús i les va obeir i, per tant, va fer el que Jesús li va ordenar que fes. Creia que Jesús era (I encara ho és) el Crist. Però els fariseus, que eren estudiosos de la llei i dels profetes i haurien d’haver conegut les paraules i la voluntat de Déu i les profecies sobre el Crist haurien d’haver reconegut Jesús com el Fill de Déu i el Crist, Però no creien les paraules de Jesús i no creien que Jesús fos el Crist, però el va rebutjar.
Igual que no creien que Déu hagués enviat Joan Baptista a la Terra per preparar el camí per a la vinguda de Jesucrist i, per tant (o.a. Mateu 21:32, Llegiu també: Joan Baptista, L'home que no es va inclinar).
Els fariseus tenien una posició de poder i estaven plens de si mateixos i confiaven en la seva pròpia saviesa, penetració, habilitats, i funciona.
Eren auto-justos i es consideraven com a homes justos, Si bé la seva naturalesa era dolenta i les seves obres no eren segons la voluntat de Déu.
Els fariseus’ la ment estava cegada espiritualment. Suposaven que eren l'excepció de la regla i estaven elevades per sobre de la gent. Aquest orgull els mantenia en servitud i els va contenir a humiliar -se i penedir -se i passar de les seves maneres malvades i dirigir -se a Déu.
L’orgull d’un home no portarà mai l’home al penediment, Però l’orgull de l’home farà que un home camini a la foscor i perseveri en el pecat.
Qui diu que veu però persisteix en el pecat, El seu pecat queda
I Jesús va dir, Per a judici, entro en aquest món, que els que no veuen no podrien veure; i que els que veuen es podrien fer cecs. I alguns dels fariseus que estaven amb ell van escoltar aquestes paraules, i li va dir, Som cecs també? Jesús els va dir, Si estiguessis cec, No hauríeu de tenir cap pecat: Però ara dius, Veiem; Per tant, el vostre pecat es manté. (John 9:39-41)
Quan alguns dels fariseus van preguntar a Jesús si eren cecs també, Jesús els va respondre, Si fóssiu cec, no haureu de tenir pecat, Però ara dius, veiem, Per tant, el vostre pecat queda. Jesús deia que si els fariseus, les obres de les quals eren dolentes i, per tant, eren cecs, llavors no tindrien cap pecat. Però perquè van dir que ho van veure, Mentre caminaven per la foscor i feien coses que es van oposar diametralment a la voluntat de Déu i no es van sotmetre a les paraules i a la voluntat de Déu i, per tant, van pecar, El seu pecat va quedar.
Jesús va testificar, que les obres de la carn són dolents i tothom, Qui persisteix en el pecat camina a la foscor i fa les luxúries i la voluntat del seu pare el diable, Qui és el governant d’aquest món. Si algú persisteix en el pecat no camina a la llum i no fa la voluntat de Déu i no pertany a Déu, sinó al diable (a.o. John 8:44, Colossencs 1:21, Titus 1:16, 1 John 3:4-10).
Tot i que la persona pot dir que veu, La persona és en realitat cega espiritualment, Perquè la persona no veu que les obres de la carn i la foscor siguin dolents, i si la persona és conscient del fet que les obres de la carn i la foscor són dolents, Però fes -los de totes maneres, La persona rebrà una major maleïda (Llegiu també: Es pot mantenir el pecat sota la gràcia?).
Què van fer malament els fariseus??
While the Pharisees were self-righteous and full of themselves and thought they walked piously, Jesus thought otherwise. A Mateu 23, entre d'altres, Jesus spoke in the temple to the multitude and His disciples about the walk and works of the Pharisees and Scribes.
Jesus didn’t remain silent but exposed their works.
Ofcourse there were many among the chief rulers, who did believe in Jesus, but they didn’t confess Him, perquè no fossin expulsats de la sinagoga, for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God (John 12:42-43).
But the majority of the Pharisees and Scribes were blind guides, hipòcrites, white sepulchres, serps, and a generation of vipers, who didn’t remain in the truth of God, just like their father the devil, who didn’t remain in the truth of God but because of his pride became an infidel and fell from his position (Llegiu també: La batalla al jardí).
Although the Scribes and Pharisees sat in Moses’ seat and taught the people, they did not do what they taught and commanded the people to do. They bound heavy burdens and grievous to be borne and laid them on men’s shoulders, but they would not move them with one of their fingers.
They only did all their works to be seen by the people and admired and worshiped by the people. Per això, they did the works for selfish reasons (Llegiu també: Quina diferència hi ha entre Jesús i els líders religiosos??).
The Pharisees were hypocrites and blind guides
The Pharisees and Scribes were hypocrites; actors of the stage of life, who played the role of something which they were not, perquè:
- They shut up the Kingdom of God against men, for they neither went in themselves, neither suffered they them that were entering to go in
- They devoured widows’ houses and for a pretense made long prayer
- They compassed sea and land to make one proselyte and when he was made they made him twofold more the child of hell than themselves
- The paid tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and had omitted the weightier matters of the law, judici, misericòrdia, i fe.
- They were blind guides, that strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel
- They cleansed the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they were full of extortion and excess.
- They were like whited sepulchres, which indeed appeared beautiful outward, but were within full of dead men’s bones, i de tota impuresa. Even so they also outwardly appeared righteous unto men, but within they were full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
- They built the tombs of the prophets, and garnished the sepulchres of the righteous, I va dir, If they had been in the days of their fathers, they would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore they were witnesses unto themselves, that they were the children of them which killed the prophets and would fill up the measures of their fathers.
The Pharisees and Scribes were serpents, a generation of vipers. How could they escape the damnation of hell?
Jesus prophesied and told the Pharisees and Scribes, that He would send unto them prophets, i homes savis, i escribes: and some of them they would kill and crucify; and some of them they would scourge in their synagogues, i perseguir-los de ciutat en ciutat:, so that upon them might come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, des de la sang del just Abel fins a la sang de Zacaries, fill de Baraquias, whom they slew between the temple and the altar (Llegiu també: Per què Déu no va respectar l'ofrena de Caín??).
What did the Pharisees do after being confronted with the Word?
After Jesus had spoken these words and had confronted the Pharisees and Scribes with their sins, the Pharisees and Scribes had again a choice, through the confrontation with the Word and the conviction of their sin, to humble themselves and repent or not.
The Pharisees chose the latter, whereby the words of Jesus became fulfilled and they not only killed Jesus Christ, el Fill de Déu, and had Him crucified, but they also persecuted His Church and even killed some of the Church to silence the believers and extinguish the light (Llegiu també: Com la foscor extingeix la llum).
I això encara passa, because the same spirit that worked in the Pharisees and Scribes is still active and at work in the lives of many church leaders (Llegiu també: Quines són les similituds entre els líders del poble de Déu llavors i ara?)
Jesus and the apostles warned the believers of false prophets and false teachers
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, si fos possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: mirar, I have foretold you all things (Marca 13:22-23 (Also Matthew 24:24-25))
Compte amb els falsos profetes, que vénen a tu amb roba d'ovella, però per dins són llops devoradors. Els coneixereu pels seus fruits (Mateu 7:15-16)
Però hi havia falsos profetes també entre la gent, fins i tot perquè hi hagi falsos professors entre vosaltres, que aportarà de forma privada les males herejes, fins i tot negar el Senyor que els va comprar, i es produeixen una destrucció ràpida. I molts seguiran les seves maneres pernicioses; per la qual es parlarà el camí de la veritat. I, mitjançant la cobertura: el judici del qual ara fa temps no perdura, i la seva maleïda no es redueix (2 Peter 2:1-3)
Estimat, no creure en tots els esperits, però prova els esperits si són de Déu: perquè molts falsos profetes han sortit al món. Per això coneixeu l'Esperit de Déu: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: i aquest és l'esperit de l'anticrist, del que heu sentit que ha de venir; i encara ara ja ho és al món (1 John 4:1-3)
Jesus and then the apostles prophesied and warned the believers about this in their letters, since they knew their adversary, el diable, and were acquainted with his works.
They knew that their enemy was not indirectly people, but their enemy was the one, who has dominion over people, que pertanyen al món (la foscor), and controls them; el diable.
The apostles and disciples of Jesus were not carnal but they were just like Jesus spiritual through regeneration in Christ. They knew they were soldiers of Christ in the spiritual warfare and executed His power on earth and didn’t fight against flesh and blood but against principalities, Poders, governants de la foscor d'aquest món, contra la maldat espiritual en els llocs alts, quina, entre d'altres, reigned in the lives of the blind religious leaders and persecuted the Church of Christ and are still active and working in the lives of many people, including the leaders of many churches.
L’església està veient o cega?
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dormint, lying down, loving to slumber. Sí, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant (Isaïes 56:10-12)
Because the Church has not listened to the Word and has ignored the warnings of the Word and the Holy Spirit and has not been spiritually awake, but is misled, through the deceptive spirits of darkness, a change has taken place in the Church and the Body of Christ moved from the Spirit to the flesh, whereby the spirits of darkness have been given free rein and the devil has established his throne in many churches (Llegiu també: El tron de satanàs i Com s'està preparant l'església mundial per a l'anticrist).
Many believers don’t fear the Lord anymore and the knowledge of the will of God and His Kingdom and of good and evil is gone. No discerneixen els esperits, but they have become prideful and refuse to submit to Jesus Christ; la Paraula, and change and keep His commandments.
Many have become lukewarm regarding the things of the Spirit and the Kingdom of God and have become indifferent toward sin and unrighteousness.
They don’t consider sin as evil; as the will of the devil and the fruit of death, but they consider sin as normal and part of human nature.
They have normalized sin, so they don’t have to change and put off the old man, però segueix fent les obres de la carn, and because of that their lives remain unchanged and they keep living like the world. They don’t testify of Jesus Christ and don’t call their neighbors to repentance but let them alone and speak what they want to hear because they don’t want to cause problems (Llegiu també: Si els cristians romanen en silenci, qui alliberarà els captius de les tenebres?)
And so many say they are born again and are spiritual and see and think they live in the truth, while their works testify that they are blind and still walk in darkness and do the lust of their father, igual que els fariseus, who didn’t see but were blind.
And because they say they see, and therefore they say that they are acquainted with the will of God and have the knowledge and spiritual understanding and know that sin is not good but evil, and so continue to sin willfully, their sins shall remain.
