John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.
Even though the Jews had the words written by Moses burned deep into their culture and lives, they still refused to believe Jesus was their Messiah.
Why? Was it because it all just seemed a bit too easy? Was it because they wanted their own way? Whatever the reason, God knew this was the way it would happen and had prepared for this way.
Jesus came to fulfil the scriptures, to live out the terrible truth which was written so many years beforehand.
All because God is faithful!
