Luke 22:37 (NLT) 37 For the time has come for this prophecy about me to be fulfilled: \u2018He was counted among the rebels.\u2019 Yes, everything written about me by the prophets will come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Was Jesus a rebel?<\/p>\n

This is an interesting question. One that deserves our attention. So, let\u2019s take a look and see what the word of God shows us.<\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s define rebel.<\/p>\n

1. a person who is opposed to the political system in their country and tries to change it using force.<\/p>\n

2. a person who does not like rules or authority, and shows this by behaving differently from most people in society.<\/p>\n

We can determine without any doubt that Jesus was not a rebel as defined in definition #1.<\/p>\n

Definition #2 also does not describe Him.<\/p>\n

But here is what we know from God\u2019s word.<\/p>\n

Jesus opposed the incumbent Jewish religious leaders of His day. He vehemently disagreed with a large percentage of what they did, and He spoke plainly about it directly to many of them.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that He did not oppose what they taught. They taught the Law correctly.<\/p>\n

They did not<\/i>, however, walk it out as they taught others to do.<\/p>\n

And Jesus railed against them constantly for their hypocrisy, telling them bluntly that that they did not enter the kingdom of heaven, while also not allowing others to enter.<\/p>\n

Matthew 23:13 (LSB) 13 \u201cBut woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in<\/span>.<\/p>\n

What did He mean?<\/p>\n

He was referring to their constant insistence that people follow an increasingly impossible number of traditions to \u201cmeet God\u2019s requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

When, in fact, these were not God\u2019s requirements at all. They were manmade requirements that even they did not abide by.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at this more tomorrow as we work to determine whether Jesus was a rebel.<\/p>\n
