Example text
Jesus has drawn the attention of the religious leaders, ‘the chief priests and the elders of the nation’ (Matthew 21:23). He has aroused the enthusiasm of the people, mainly because he reminds them of the prophets of old who often protected the powerless and the weak and reprimanded the arrogant, the rich and the mighty. More recently, John the Baptist had been their hero. But King Herod, whom the people regarded as a lackey of the occupying Roman forces, had beheaded him. They now pinned their hopes on Jesus, who, like the ancient prophets, such as Elijah, Isaiah and Jeremiah, fearlessly spoke against corruption and gave them hope of a better future.

God’s intent and God’s heavenly authority may be falsely used for narrow human ends. Yet the separation does not mean that God’s authority is irrelevant to Israelite resentment or human power. Heavenly authority consoles through elaborating the peace and serenity transcending the deep conflicts ravaging the country. It also relativizes, and strenuously warns about, the dangers of overindulgence in mundane authority however much order is a plus for a sane society.
