Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
"But this mob that knows nothing of the law." The Pharisees did not know the intent of the law. The intent of the law was to help the people live their lives to glorify God. But by the time of Jesus the Law had become a weapon used by the Pharisees to inflict penalities on the people. The Law was meant for worship, but it had become something oppressive. The powers-that-be were not doing what God wanted them to do. We need to show love to those around us, not oppression, not animosity. God wants us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. We need to not be like the Pharisees who were not showing love. We need to show love to all those around us. God bless you.
